In such review the reader will be able to find all the necessary information regarding the Bronze Dragon, namely its history, breeding aspects, appearance and performance, usefulness in the game and ways of turning this dragon into the most potent weapon.
In the game, the Bronze Dragon is depicted as a hybrid dragon as it is associated with two elements that stand for the Earth and Metal. It’s no wonder it also attracts the players, because of its exquisite design alone and the status related to the so-called Gemstone Dragons (even if she is not a part of the entire official series of the Gemstone Dragons). There is a reason as to why bronze is called a metal of value, thus there is a given dragon in the game that represents things of bronze and that is why it becomes a longing one.
1. Look and Visual Appeal
The Bronze Dragon’s design is its most distinguished feature. This dragon has, as one could expect, a metallic glow similar to that of bronze that is polished giving it a unique profile amongst the other dragons in DragonVale. The overall body of the dragon wavered in a brownish orange shade, with shine embellishments that glisters similar to bronze and gleams when illuminated. The dragon’s wings, too, have a bit of a metallic glaze but not as much as the body’s which somewhat enhances majesty.
This dragon possesses pure classic and antiquated feel as it portrays the very essence of endurance and timelessness which bronze is known for. Its portrayal possesses several intricately embellished designs including scales that opal bronze and chestnut colors which endows the Bronze Dragon with a royal and historical touch.
2. Entry and availability of the Bronze Dragon in DragonVale
The limited timed event in which the Bronze Dragon was showcased also contributed in making this dragon a sought after by most of the players. Currently, it can also be bred in the regular game so that those who have not participated in the original event are still able to obtain this dragon. This form of dragon which is a hybrid of Earth and Metal element is not regarded as an exceedingly common dragon but might be hard to breed in that it requires certain elemental combinations.
The Bronze Dragons availability in the market rises and falls in relation to the game and its updates. Whereas it used to be obtainable with difficulty, currently it is easier accessible to the players who have suitable breeding pairs of the dragons especially in some promotions.
3. First Child Dragon: Breeding Requirements and Strategies Involved
Cooper dragon also involves specific dragons pairings involving earth and metal elements. The most obvious course of action for breeding the Bronze Dragon would be to place a Metal Dragon on top of an Earth Dragon. Other breeding possibilities open however since any other hybrid dragon with these elements may be incorporated.
a) Recommended Dragon Pairings Earth Dragon Metal Dragon: This combination is the most basic for breeding the Bronze Dragon. It might take a few tries, but this pairing will provide a Bronze Dragon the quickest. Magnetic Dragon Earth Dragon: The Magnetic Dragon contains the Metal element, thus the Earth Dragon should increase the odds of breeding a Bronze Dragon. Ironwood Dragon Mine Dragon: These two dragons contain the Earth and Metal elements, increasing the chances of breeding a Bronze Dragon.
b) Timing of Mating
The duration that a player will typically spend breeding a Bronze Dragon is 18 hours and the incubation period is also 18 hours because these two processes are not independent. However, players are able to reduce these periods by the use of certain gems or simply buying breeding upgrades in their park. While 18 hours is quite a long time when considered in the light of the period needed for the breeding of some other species of the dragons, it is quite normal when the game rare breeds are considered.
c) Tips for Success
Dragon Level: Upgrading the levels of the dragons that you are using for breeding can improve your chances of getting a Bronze Dragon. earth and Metal dragons or any hybrid that you are using try to level them up to at least level 10 for best results.
Boosts: there are some boosts categorized for game elements like Earth and Metal which increase your chances of breeding the dragon even more. If you have difficulties in breeding a Bronze Dragon, you can also purchase and put these boosts in your park to help you out.
Patience: As a lot of other exotic dragons, the Bronze Dragon can be obtained after some time and probably will not be the first breed. Breeding this dragon calls for a lot of patience and determination.
4. The Use of the Bronze Dragon in Your Park
Upon managing to breed your Bronze Dragon and having it hatched successfully, such a creature becomes a useful ornament to your park. In DragonVale, the Bronze Dragon has a number of specific functions, ranging from ornamental purposes to money making.
a) DragonCash Unit Production
In monetary contributions to the game, DragonCash being the currency associated with it, the Bronze Dragon can be referred to as a low to medium DragonCash producer. It may not be the most earning dragon species, however, when positioned in the right environment and upgraded, it still earns a reasonable income. The proportion of DragonCash generated by the Dragon in question is proportion to its level and whether it stays in a suitable environment model or not.
A steady income can be expected from the Bronze Dragon at higher levels making it ideal for the players who want to earn more income for their parks.
b) Habitat and Placement
The Bronze Dragon can also be kept in any Earth Habitat or Metal Habitat. However, it is necessary to pay attention to the habitat’s capacity when placing the Bronze Dragon since a higher DragonCash limit habitat will allow for more money to be collected without the need for constant checking of the game.
For the best DragonCash output, place the Bronze Dragon in a Metal Habitat together with other high producing dragons or in an enhancement habitat that increases the production of either Earth or Metal dragoons. Besides, it will be beneficial if your Bronze Dragon is constantly fed and leveled up to have maximized income generation.
c) Event Participation
In some events, such as the ones included in DragonVale, certain dragons have the potential of earning more points than usually, or they may take part more actively in some of the activities associated with the event. The Bronze Dragon is not often a dragon included in these types of features, however it is an adaptable dragon that a player may wish to use at certain times of the year based on the type of events going on. Watch the schedule of activities and see whether the Bronze Dragon will be needed in short time tournaments.
5. Leveling up and Evolution.
As every other dragon in DragonVale, one can feed the Bronze Dragon in order to level it up. At times when that dragon levels up, the very appearance of that dragon may change a bit with its metallic luster coming out even more. Hence, with the leveling up of the Bronze Dragon, its ability to produce DragonCash also improves, increasing its importance in your park.
a) Diet Requirements
Feeding the Bronze Dragon becomes progressively expensive with level upgrades, which is standard for all dragons in the game. To manage and grow your Bronze Dragon, concentrate on the food production activities carried out on the farms since they are food resource intensive and be keen on resource management. The input in food is justifiable since higher level dragons generate more DragonCash and defeats opponents and events more efficiently.
b) Transformation
Some of the dragons in Dragonvale have designated evolutionary paths while the Bronze Dragon is no different and has no such pathway. All the same its transformation from being a baby dragon to that of an adult is fascinating. It will of course be pleasing to those who fancy growing their dragons order that the Bronze Dragon dominates every other stage of its growth with a beautiful extending metallic coat.
6. Breeding Events and the Appearing of the Bronze Dragon
The history of DragonVale is marked by events when some dragons become temporarily absent for an extended period of time, save from certain events. Perhaps the most non-exclusive is the Bronze Dragon, who has previously appeared in some non-affulgeous breeding events. Such events tend to have wider odds of hatching dozens of dragons such as the bronze dragon or may even have such pearls as the bronze dragon as part of an event enhancer.
a) Limited-Time Availability
When the Bronze Dragon is incorporated into some limited time event, it provides a good chance for the players to try breeding it if they have not done so before. During these events the players are likely to have increased odds of successfully breeding the Bronze Dragon or may have specific breeding methods available to them that increase the odds.
b) Event Rewards
In some instances, players may earn event-specific currency or rewards associated with the breeding of certain dragons. The Bronze Dragon may not be featured as an event dragon all the time, and hence players need to check on events in case it becomes relevant.
7. Challenges in Breeding the Bronze Dragon
The Bronze Dragon is known not to be one of the most hard to find dragons in DragonVale; however, there are challenges that may still be faced by a player when trying to have the dragon. Below are some of the challenges that are commonly reported by the gamers when attempting to breed the Bronze Dragon:
a) More Than One Element
Breeding the Bronze Dragon is more complex than breeding other dragons with a single element because the dragon can be bred with two elements (Earth and Metal). A player has to make sure that those dragons which contain these two elements are used, hence limiting their chances of breeding options.
b) Breeding Time
The Bronze Dragon has a breeding time of 18 hours making reproduction of the dragon a little bit lengthy. This lengthy waiting period may be an issue for players who prefer a shorter breeding cycle. Worse still, in the situation where a breeding attempt does not produce a Bronze Dragon, another 18 hours will be added to every next breeding attempt.
c) Elemental Variability
Given that there is no formed structure like in DragonVale where you just put certain elements together for formed dragons, there is also no assurance of having a successful breeding of the Bronze Dragon straight away no matter that the right people with the right elements have been selected. This element of chance is something that frustrates gamers, more so for those that want to breed a couple of Bronze Dragons or are limited time-wise by events.
8. The Bronze Dragon’s Place in the Ecosystem of DragonVale
To be ranked among mid-level dragons, the Bronze Dragon has quite a cult following among the users of DragonVale. While it may not be as breath-taking and fascinating as the ultra-rare Gemstone Dragons or Epics, the Bronze Dragon is also a dragon such as players like due to its appearance and use.
a) Collectibility
Completionist players are quite a common sight in DragonVale; most of them try to acquire every dragon that the game app has to offer. For such players, the Bronze Dragon is a very important dragon to have as they expand on their collection. The dragon is also very popular amongst many dragon park builders due to its metallic luster and its characteristic fusion of Earth and Metal elements which offers plenty of room for flexibility. The Bronze Dragon is also valued by many of such players, who are otherwise busy constructing enclosures focused on beauty, for its appealing looks, which enhances the encampments with a touch of history.
b) Aesthetic Communities
There exist players in the DragonVale community who participate in the development of figurately beautiful parks of dragons. The images of the Bronze Dragon go hand in hand with the ideas of ancient metals, minerals or even ancient buildings. The Bronze Dragon is often fitted with other metallic or earthlike dragons to form a golden section however players who assemble their habitats according to colour scheme or theme complementation do so with other dragons which fit the theme.
c) Strategic Breeding
Players engaged in the art of breeding rare dragons will also appreciate the Bronze Dragon. As she is a hybrid dragon, including the other two elements, she is useful in various breeding activities aimed at producing other rare or hybrid dragons. However, I must say that the Bronze Dragon may not be the rarest dragon in itself, but its elements form a very crucial brood including the rarest of all dragons.
9. Comparisons with Similar Dragons
In order to fully appreciate the worth of the Bronze Dragon, the elemental dragons that are most similar to it found in the game and utilizes either the same combination of elements or the metallic nature of Bronze.
This amateurish analysis may assist players in determining the most effective tactic on which dragons to raise and why Bronze Dragon is worth the alternative.
a) Gold Dragon vs. Bronze Dragon
Gold Dragon is similar to Bronze Dragon as both are classified under metallic dragons, however this type of dragon is related to the element of metal and fire. Even though the Gold Dragon has a tendency to yield higher amounts of DragonCash and is scarce, the Bronze Dragon has a distinct mixture of earth and metal which makes it lesser complicated to breed but however, it can be highly useful in the right conditions. In terms of appearance, the gold dragon is showier due to the presence of its luxurious golden scales, while the bronze dragon is less showy but possesses a quite impressive metallic coat.
If earning DragonCash overrides all other factors, most players may opt for the Gold Dragon. However, such players who are interested in the range of elements and the beauty of the Dragon will be satisfied with the Bronze Dragon.
b) Silver Dragon against the Bronze Dragon
The Silver Dragon is known to be a metallic dragon hence has a Metal and Cold elements making it a nearer relative of the couple. In terms of efficiency, The Silver Dragon is known to generate more revenue, especially in places where the environment is suitable for the elemental mixture. However, the Element of Earth associated that with the Bronze Dragon enables it to adapt to other environments and breeding combinations thus in some instances making it a better dragon than the former.
In terms of appearance, the sleek and shiny silver armor of the Silver dragon is in contrast with the warm and earthy color of the bronze dragon. Gamers who lean towards the cold colors would prefer the Silver Dragon while those who appreciate the deep tones of bronze would find the bronze dragon equally winning.
c) Earth; Element of Dragons and the Bronze Dragon
The most striking feature of the bronze dragon over the other earth elements drake like the crystal and the quake dragon is that the bronze dragon is a hybrid hence it has a thin coat eth metallic shine. The crystal dragon although inhabited by many gamers, in comparison to the bronze dragon who is also a dragon that includes traditional ornamental designs, a less ‘garish’ style is most attractive to such players.
On the other hand in terms of game play there is a Metal element that goes with the bronze dragon which increases breeding possibilities as well meaning that it is more useful when it comes to producing hard to get hybrid dragons.
