Breeding with the Aquacorn Dragon: A Comprehensive Guide
The Aquacorn Dragon, with its majestic blend of aquatic grace and mythical charm, is a highly sought-after dragon in the world of DragonVale. If you’ve managed to add this beauty to your park, you’re likely wondering: What can I breed with an Aquacorn Dragon? The straightforward answer is that the Aquacorn Dragon can be used in any breeding combination, since it contains the Water and Cold elements. Its presence in a breeding pair can contribute towards breeding any dragon with either the Water or Cold elements, or dragons that require a combination of these two elements along with others.
However, to truly maximize your breeding efforts with the Aquacorn, it’s essential to understand the breeding mechanics within DragonVale. This article will not only cover the Aquacorn’s role in breeding, but it will also delve into related breeding strategies, ensuring you make the most out of your draconic pairings.
Understanding the Aquacorn Dragon’s Breeding Basics
The Aquacorn Dragon itself is bred by using any two dragons that contain the Water and Cold elements at any Breeding Cave. This means any dragon that possesses these two elements will work to create an Aquacorn, given a bit of luck. Crucially, the order of the parents doesn’t matter. Once you have your Aquacorn, the same basic principle applies. Any dragon you breed with the Aquacorn will inherit the Aquacorn’s Water and Cold elements.
Because the Aquacorn has two elements, using it in breeding can help you:
- Breed dragons that require Water elements.
- Breed dragons that require Cold elements.
- Breed dragons that require both Water and Cold.
- Breed dragons that require these two elements plus other elements.
You will see the Aquacorn is a very flexible breeder, due to having two common elements, Water and Cold.
Maximizing Your Breeding Potential with Aquacorn
The real power of the Aquacorn Dragon lies in using it strategically to target specific dragons. Here are a few breeding strategies to consider:
Focusing on Single-Element Dragons
If you’re looking for dragons with solely Water or Cold elements, breeding an Aquacorn with a dragon that possesses only one of these elements increases your chances. For example, breeding it with a Water Dragon could result in another Water Dragon, or any other dragon with the water element.
Targeting Multi-Element Dragons
The Aquacorn shines when paired with dragons to create multi-element combinations. Consider breeding it with a Lightning Dragon to aim for a Sun Dragon, since the Sun Dragon requires any combination of dragons that have the Cold and Lightning elements. Since the Aquacorn has the Cold element, combining it with a dragon that has the Lightning element would be an appropriate breeding strategy. Similarly, if a dragon requires Water and Air for example, breeding the Aquacorn Dragon with an Air element dragon could yield the targeted dragon.
Utilizing Event Dragons
During events in DragonVale, many dragons with specific elemental combinations become available. The Aquacorn Dragon, due to its Water and Cold elements, can be crucial in breeding these event dragons. Always check the specific breeding combinations required for the event dragons to maximize your chances.
