In the game DragonVale, the Olympus Dragons are a series of timeless dragons based on the legendary region of Mount Olympus and its innumerable gods and goddesses. These dragons contribute extensively to the mythological theme of the game and are impressive not only due to the majestic designs but also because of the potential barriers in competition and breeding. Currently and as far as the authors are concerned, there are three principal types of Olympus Dragons: the Gold Olympus, Silver Olympus and the Bronze Olympus Dragons. This review will focus on all aspects: from the design to the breeding, and game-wise strategies of using them.
Understanding Olympus Dragons
The Olympus Dragons, place you relations in another world, became the torner Epic Dragon and there they hand out gods and goddesses from ancient Greece. The concept concerning their existence is highly interlinked with some history about how those strong wyverns always rest at zeus’ peak, Olympus, because they are babies of the gods and carry a divine blessing over any kind of mighty human warrior. Introducing those was a great refresh for the game in more essential ways than just seeking for different elemental powers They brought characters entwined with the very tales of the ancients.
Olympus Dragons are Epic Dragons and their design follows that classification. Ranging from bright golden bodied dew dragons, metallic umber and silver cliff dragons, each variant is visually impressive and aesthetically coherent in all three variants depicting magnificence and ancient mythology.
Types of Dragons Olympus
Olympus Gold Dragon

Element: Earth, Lightning, and Air
Economic Generation: The Gold Olympus Dragon does produce the gold income at a moderate level, which is enhanced with levels. Since it does not have the best gold income statistical benefits, it still earns rates that quick mid-gain players would expect to earn.
Breeding & Availability: The Gold Olympus Dragon is obtainable via other elements, but mostly by breeding. The breeding window of the Gold Olympus Dragon is rather more difficult to estimate than that of the other dragons because it is often a promotional dragon.
Silver Olympus Dragon
Drawings: With lustrous silver scales and an elegant stance, the Silver Olympus Dragon has the appearance of a watchful presence in the skies. Its silver wingspan and metallic finish make it look out of this world, even in the most terrestrial of parks.
Element: Earth, Lightning, and Air
Economic Generation: Just like the Gold Olympus, the Silver variant has an impressive economic generation rate as well. It’s not the very best when it comes to gold generation from collection, but still does great purpose for the players who want to fill their dragon’s collection.
Breeding & Availability: Elements for Breeding the Silver Olympus are almost the same as those of the Gold Olympus. The Silver Olympus’ placement can be achieved by making use of different combinations of breeding Earth, Lightning, and Air dragons during the breeding window.
Bronze Olympus Dragon
Visuals: Beta Bronze Olympus Dragon adopts a slightly warmer and toned down appearance in comparison with the other two, whose scales are reddish bronze, instead of shining as the classical brassy-golden does. It has a very sturdy and resilient aura making one feel that it is the strongest among the three.
Element: Earth, Lightning, and Air

Breeding & Availability: The Bronze Olympus Dragon has the same breeding requirements as the rest and so can be obtained using the same breeding combinations. Its availability is mostly around the special Olympus events or limited offers.
Breeding the Olympus Dragons
Breeding any of the Olympus Dragons can be an uphill task simply because of how Epic they are in rarity and their breeding provisions. For a player to be able to breed an Olympus Dragon, they will have to use as breeding parents the perfect dragons that shall comprise Earth, Lightning, and Air elements. Typically, such perfect elements are often achieved using a Crystal Dragon, Sonic Dragon, and Quake Dragon, among other dragons.
Nevertheless, players wishing to breed this rare breed of dragons will face some constraints because of the epic characteristics of the dragons. It is not easy to breed in this regard an Olympus Dragon because it takes several attempts. Luckily, these types of crazy beasts can be bred within limits of certain time frames in the game, so players should always watch for the corresponding reminders in [the game] devices and calendars.
According to their Epic classification, Olympus Dragons have longer breeding period than most regular dragons. Players can expect breeding times to range between 35 to 60 hours depending on usage of breeding boosters or involvement in special event slotted for reducing breeding times.
Habitats and Placement
Olympus dragons come with their own special habitat, the Olympus habitat. Such habitat is essential for the enclosure of any of the olympus dragons and also fits well biologically with the aesthetics of the creatures. The Olympus habitat is quite pricey in contrast to the other regular habitats, however for those players who would like to exhibit their olympus dragons in a suitably regal environment, this expenditure is justifiable.
The Olympus habitat accommodates three dragons at most with a provision to enhance the income capacity in order players ensures maximum gold income from the Olympus ones. Many players, however, construct structures known as olympus habitats that are in no small way fed by the beautiful designed dragons’ incomes, and place them in the centre of the parks served by the structure in question.
The Gold, Silver and Bronze Olympus Dragons re similar when it comes to the gold generation rate. While they are not the top most gold earning dragons in the game, they do provide moderate income in gold which is enhanced as they are upgraded. Players who would like to maximize the income potential of their Olympus dragons should, however feed the dragons frequently and level them up especially to level 15 or higher.
Here is a brief summary of the earning potential for each Olympus Dragon in accordance with their respective levels:
Level 1-10: The earning remains low with only slight improvements per hour.
Level 11-15: There is a visible improvement of sorts, with increased earnings within this range.
Level 16-20+: At these levels, the Olympus Dragons can also earn quite a good amount of gold per hour, thus are considered a great asset in any park.
At the same time though, players more focused on the income generation may like more eg. the Rainbow Dragon or even the Treasure Dragons as they seem to have much greater income generation potential in comparison to the Olympus Dragons.
