Breeding Elements
The Rainbow Dragon is also by no means confined to any one octet and therefore poses a small challenge when it comes to breeding. For a player to breed a Rainbow Dragon, they have to use dragons with which represent at least four different elements.

Breeding Time: For most rainbow dragons, breeding time is one of the longest in the game, depression, a funky 48 hours clocking in.
