Unleash the Inferno: Breeding the Scorch Dragon
So, you’re looking to add a Scorch Dragon to your DragonVale park? Excellent choice! This fiery, electrifying beast is a fantastic addition to any collection. The key to breeding a Scorch Dragon is delightfully simple:
The Scorch Dragon can be bred by using any two dragons, in either order, containing the Fire and Lightning elements at any Breeding Cave.
That’s it! No specific dragon combinations are required, just ensure that both Fire and Lightning are represented in the parent dragons. For example, a Fire Dragon and a Lightning Dragon would work. Or, you could use a Double Rainbow Dragon (which contains all elements) and a Fire Dragon. The possibilities are vast! Now, let’s delve into some frequently asked questions to ensure your breeding endeavors are successful and your park is soon graced by a magnificent Scorch Dragon.
Frequently Asked Questions About Breeding Scorch Dragons
Here are 15 FAQs that will help you master the art of Scorch Dragon breeding.
What dragons guarantee a Scorch Dragon?
Unfortunately, nothing “guarantees” a Scorch Dragon. DragonVale’s breeding mechanics incorporate an element of chance. However, the highest probability of getting a Scorch Dragon comes from using two dragons that only have the Fire and Lightning elements, such as a Fire Dragon and a Lightning Dragon. This narrows down the potential breeding outcomes, increasing your chances.
Can I use a hybrid dragon that has Fire and Lightning, along with other elements?
Absolutely! As long as the dragon possesses both the Fire and Lightning elements, it can be used. Be aware that using a dragon with more elements increases the pool of potential breeding outcomes, making it less likely to get a Scorch Dragon on any given attempt.
Does the breeding cave matter?
No, the location of the breeding cave doesn’t influence the outcome. You can use either the standard Breeding Cave or the upgraded Epic Breeding Island and still have the same chances of breeding a Scorch Dragon.
What is the breeding time for a Scorch Dragon?
The breeding time for a Scorch Dragon is 12 hours. Keep this in mind when planning your breeding schedule.
What does a Scorch Dragon egg look like?
The Scorch Dragon egg is primarily black with vibrant orange and yellow cracks that resemble lightning bolts running across its surface. It’s quite a striking egg!
What is the best strategy for breeding a Scorch Dragon if I have limited dragons?
If you’re early in the game and have a limited selection of dragons, your best bet is to breed a Fire Dragon with a Lightning Dragon. These are relatively easy to obtain and represent the purest form of the required elements.
Can I breed two Scorch Dragons together to get another Scorch Dragon?
Yes, you can! Breeding two Scorch Dragons together will give you a chance to breed a Scorch Dragon. Keep in mind there are other possible outcomes, but the odds are generally better than using dragons with more diverse elements.
What level do my dragons need to be to breed a Scorch Dragon?
There isn’t a specific level requirement to breed a Scorch Dragon. However, having your dragons at level 10 or higher is generally recommended for all breeding endeavors. Higher-level dragons tend to have slightly better odds, although this isn’t officially confirmed by the game developers.
Can I use the Cooperative Breeding Cave to breed a Scorch Dragon?
No, you cannot breed a Scorch Dragon through the Cooperative Breeding Cave. This cave is reserved for breeding with friends’ dragons, and you won’t find the Scorch Dragon available through that method.
What happens if I get a breeding fail?
Breeding fails are a part of DragonVale! Don’t be discouraged. If you don’t get a Scorch Dragon on your first try, simply try again. The more you breed dragons with the Fire and Lightning elements, the closer you get to adding that Scorch Dragon to your park.
Are there any special events that increase the chances of breeding a Scorch Dragon?
Sometimes, DragonVale will have special events that boost the breeding odds for certain dragons. Keep an eye on the game’s news and announcements to see if there are any active events that might improve your chances of getting a Scorch Dragon. These events often feature increased odds, reduced breeding times, or even guaranteed outcomes.
How much does a Scorch Dragon cost to buy in the market?
While breeding is always the preferred method, you can sometimes purchase a Scorch Dragon directly from the market, especially during special events. The cost in gems will vary depending on the event and the dragon’s rarity. Expect to pay a substantial amount of gems if you choose this route.
What are the evolution requirements for a Scorch Dragon?
Scorch Dragons do not have any specific evolution requirements beyond reaching the required level. Simply level up your Scorch Dragon to its maximum level to unlock its full potential.
Does the order of the dragons matter when breeding?
No, the order in which you select your dragons in the breeding cave does not affect the outcome. Whether you select the Fire Dragon first or the Lightning Dragon first makes no difference.
