So, you’ve got a majestic Tempest Dragon gracing your DragonVale park and you’re eager to see what wonders it can help you breed? The good news is, the Tempest Dragon is a versatile breeder! The key to success lies in understanding its elemental composition and how that interacts with other dragons.
The Tempest Dragon possesses the Lightning and Cold elements. Therefore, when breeding with it, any dragon you pair it with will have the potential to yield offspring that combine these elements, or potentially result in a Tempest Dragon again. Let’s delve deeper into the possibilities!
Exploring Breeding Combinations with the Tempest Dragon
While the Tempest Dragon itself requires a combination of Lightning and Cold to create, it can be used in a multitude of breeding scenarios to achieve a wide variety of results. Remember, the outcome of breeding in DragonVale is always influenced by a degree of chance, but understanding the underlying mechanics can significantly improve your odds.
Here’s a breakdown of what to consider when breeding with your Tempest Dragon:
-
Target Dragon: Are you aiming for a specific dragon? If so, research the breeding requirements for that dragon. Does it need Lightning and Cold? If so, a Tempest Dragon is an excellent starting point.
-
Elemental Coverage: To maximize your chances of getting a rare dragon, consider breeding the Tempest Dragon with a dragon that covers a wide range of elements without duplicating the Lightning or Cold. This increases the pool of potential outcomes and opens up possibilities for breeding dragons with complex element requirements.
-
Limited-Time Dragons: Many limited-time dragons require specific elemental combinations. Keep an eye on the DragonVale news and announcements and see if the Tempest Dragon’s Lightning and Cold elements align with the breeding requirements of these dragons.
-
Breeding Cave Location: While the core breeding mechanics remain the same, some dragons can only be bred in specific locations like the Cooperative Breeding Cave. Always double-check the breeding requirements for your target dragon. The Games Learning Society studies how elements of games enhance learning, including strategies. GamesLearningSociety.org has lots of information!
-
Rarity: Consider the rarity of the dragon you’re breeding with the Tempest Dragon. Rare dragons often have longer breeding times, but also contribute to a higher potential for breeding other rare dragons.
Ultimately, breeding with a Tempest Dragon offers endless possibilities! Experiment, research, and keep track of your breeding attempts to refine your strategy and unlock the mysteries of DragonVale.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about Breeding with a Tempest Dragon
What is the best dragon to breed with a Tempest Dragon to get another Tempest Dragon?
Any dragon with the Lightning and Cold elements will do! Breeding a Tempest Dragon with another Tempest Dragon is the most straightforward method. However, keep in mind that you also have a chance of breeding a Tempest Dragon with dragons that contain just those two elements, or more.
Can I breed a Rainbow Dragon with a Tempest Dragon?
Yes, you can! The Rainbow Dragon requires four different elements in the breeding pair. The Tempest Dragon (with Lightning and Cold) combined with a dragon possessing at least two additional unique elements can breed a Rainbow Dragon.
What are the chances of breeding a rare dragon with a Tempest Dragon?
The chances of breeding a rare dragon are always influenced by a degree of randomness. However, using the Tempest Dragon with a dragon possessing other elements needed for a specific rare dragon increases the chances compared to using dragons with fewer elements. The specific percentage chance isn’t publicly disclosed by Backflip Studios.
Can I breed a limited-time dragon with a Tempest Dragon?
Absolutely! If a limited-time dragon requires the Lightning or Cold elements (or both!), the Tempest Dragon can be a valuable asset in your breeding efforts. Always check the breeding requirements of the limited-time dragon and see if the Tempest Dragon’s elements align.
Does the level of the dragons affect breeding outcomes when using a Tempest Dragon?
Yes, the level of the parent dragons impacts breeding results. Higher level dragons typically have a better chance of breeding rare or more complex dragons, although the exact mechanics are not fully transparent.
Can the location of the Breeding Cave impact the results when breeding with a Tempest Dragon?
While the basic elements and combinations remain the same, certain dragons are exclusively bred in specific locations like the Cooperative Breeding Cave or the Rift. If you are not using the right location, then the potential target dragon may be omitted, however it does not directly impact the probability of breeding the Tempest Dragon.
If I breed a Tempest Dragon with a single-element dragon, what are the possible outcomes?
The outcomes depend on the element of the single-element dragon. If it’s a Lightning or Cold dragon, you’ll mainly get variations of those and Tempest Dragons. If it’s a different element, you might get hybrids combining that element with Lightning or Cold.
Can I use a Snowflake Dragon to breed with a Tempest Dragon?
Yes, you can. A Snowflake Dragon contains the Cold element. This combination offers potential for breeding other dragons that require combinations of Cold and other elements present in the possible outcomes.
How can I increase my chances of breeding a specific dragon with a Tempest Dragon?
Research the breeding requirements of the specific dragon you want. Choose a breeding partner for the Tempest Dragon that complements those requirements. Use the Epic Breeding Island or upgraded Breeding Cave to reduce breeding times and attempt more combinations.
What happens if I breed a Tempest Dragon with a dragon that shares the same elements?
If you breed a Tempest Dragon with another dragon containing Lightning and Cold, like the Electrum Dragon, you’ll primarily breed variations of those dragons and potentially other hybrids that combine the elements.
Can I breed a Ghostly Dragon with a Tempest Dragon?
Breeding a Ghostly Dragon with the Tempest Dragon will result in a variety of possible combinations, it may not result in other specific dragon types.
Is it possible to breed a Chromacorn Dragon using a Tempest Dragon?
No, it is impossible to breed a Chromacorn Dragon using a Tempest Dragon. The Chromacorn Dragon is obtained via evolving a Rainbow Dragon.
What is the best time to breed a Tempest Dragon?
The time of day does not inherently affect the breeding outcomes for a Tempest Dragon unless you’re targeting a dragon specifically requiring a certain time of day to breed, such as the Midnight Dragon.
Can I breed a Hidden Dragon with a Tempest Dragon?
Whether you can breed a Hidden Dragon with a Tempest Dragon depends on Hidden Dragon’s elemental composition, which isn’t mentioned in the article. Check to make sure which elements are included.
Does using gems to speed up breeding increase my chances of getting a rare dragon when breeding with a Tempest Dragon?
No, speeding up breeding with gems does not increase your chances of getting a rare dragon. It simply reduces the waiting time between breeding attempts, allowing you to try more combinations within a given timeframe. This leads to faster results, though it doesn’t affect the breeding algorithms.
