Understanding the Snowpocalypse Dragon and Its Components
Before diving into the breeding process, let’s understand what makes up this magnificent creature. The Snowpocalypse Dragon is a hybrid, meaning it inherits traits from its parent dragons. Therefore, success depends on acquiring a Winter Dragon and an Apocalypse Dragon first.
How to Breed a Winter Dragon
The Winter Dragon embodies the essence of Earth, Cold, and Air. You’ll need dragons possessing these three elements to breed it. Here’s how:
- Element Combination: Any two dragons containing the Earth, Cold, and Air elements in any combination will work.
- Breeding Cave: This can be done at any Breeding Cave or the Epic Breeding Island.
- Breeding Order: The breeding order of the dragons does NOT affect the result.
Popular and effective combinations include:
- Earth Dragon + Ice Dragon: This pairing is a classic and relatively easy to achieve early in the game.
- Air Dragon + Cold Dragon + Earth Dragon: This is not a direct combination, but rather a description of the required elements.
How to Breed an Apocalypse Dragon
Breeding the Apocalypse Dragon requires dragons encompassing Plant, Cold, Lightning, and Metal elements. It is a bit more difficult to breed than the Winter Dragon. Here’s how:
- Element Combination: Any two dragons containing the Plant, Cold, Lightning, and Metal elements will work.
- Breeding Cave: Breed at any Breeding Cave or the Epic Breeding Island.
- Breeding Order: The breeding order of the dragons does NOT affect the result.
