In Dragon City, players are able to battle other dragons with their own. This is called Combat.

Players can fight dragons in the coliseum which you can build, in the Combat World is where you compete against other players' dragons or the Arenas. Both of these battles have gem rewards which can be used for speeding up breeding, and hatching; or can be used to purchase items, such as buildings and eggs. Also some Event Islands and Heroic Races do have combat challenges.

Damage

Damage is a impact that a attack has on a dragon.
The damage is multiplied by effectivness (see table).
Read as attacks element to the first element of the defending dragon.
There are four possible results:
  • Strong: Causes double damage (200%).
  • Normal: Causes normal damage (100%).
  • Weak: Causes only half damage (50%).
  • No Damage: Causes NO damage (0%).​

Element interaction

Dragons can have one, two, three or four elements. There are 21 different elements in Dragon City:

  • Terra, Flame, Sea, Nature, Electric, Ice, Metal, Dark, Light, War, Pure, Legend, Primal, Wind, Time and 6 ancient elements: Magic, Chaos, Happy, Dream, Beauty, and Soul
  • Physical attacks are a 2nd attack type (but not an element).

The primary/defending element is the dragon's first element:

  • The Cloud Dragon is listed as FlameSea, making its defending element Flame.
  • While the Blizzard Dragon is listed as SeaFlame, making its defending element Sea.

The type of attack and the defending dragon's primary element determine the damage of the attack.

AI attacks

In Facebook, with the exception of Pure Dragon, if the AI dragon has an attack that inflicts critical damage, it uses it. If not, it uses only physical attacks.

In iOS, Android and Amazon, the AI dragon will always use strong attacks first, followed by the strongest elemental attack they have, melee attacks and weak attacks.

In Combats via the Coliseum, AI dragons will never use trained attacks, nor do they have stars.

Leagues

Leagues Current 2

This is a place where you can fight other people's dragons.

You can use up to 3 dragons in this battle with the only requirement being that they are level 4 or higher. You progress through a league by beating the other players.

The number of combats left will decrease by 1 for every battle. You can have 3 combats within 6 hour period. After using up all your available combats, you have to wait for another 6 hours. By beating 8 players in one league, you are awarded gems

The final league is league 400. Anytime you complete a League 400, it will refresh you with more opponents, not on league 401 but on the same league 400. Your rewards also won't count to refreshing.

The opponent's dragons is capped at level 40.

PvP Island Rotation

Auto-rotate

After rotation, this user has 1 more option to choose opponent. Note at progress is 6/7 and there are 2 players to choose

Sometimes you may get an opponent that is very hard to beat, and it may take a while to level up your dragon to become stronger. The good news is, Dragon City has implemented a feature to rotate the island from time to time. Players report that Social Point has indicated the rotation occurs whenever a Player in the list graduates to the next League. When the island rotates, the players are moved to different islands, but the red X (indicator of which opponent you have beaten) remains in the same position. This rotation may move the harder opponent to an X and open up an easier opponent to battle again and sometimes you. Players need to win 7 battle to advance. Those 7 wins do not have to be against 7 different opponents.

Challenges

Also known as "Rankings". This is a place where you can fight your friend's dragons. You can use up to 3 dragons.

The number of combats left will decrease by 1 for every battle. You can have 6 combats within 30 minutes. After using up all your available combats, you have to wait for another 30 minutes to refill the a 1/6 of stamina bar.

Quests

Arenas

Main article: Arenas

Unlike Leagues, Arenas has the rules, element boost, health boost, more rewards and penalties.

The number of combats left will decrease by 1 for every battle. You can have 6 combats within 30 minutes. After using up all your available combats, you have to wait for another 30 minutes to refill the a 1/6 of stamina bar.

If a or some dragons survived, they can continue to the next battle. but If a or some dragons defeated, they become tired (cooldown and unable to battle to the next battle until cooldown is over). The rarer the dragon, the longer if needs to rest (cooldown length).

New Ranks System

Dragons advance in rank by the number of opponents they beat in the Combat World. Advancing in rank makes a dragon's attacks more powerful and gives more HP. That helps your dragon beat other opponents of its own level and even higher levels.

When is ranked up, The message "You achieved New Rank!" appeared with new rank animation to the specific dragon.

Dragon Hitpoints

Dragons are assigned to Hitpoints (HP) per-level-based values. Grouped in five Categories, also called "Tiers".

Each category has diferent values compared with the other categories/tiers, each with a distinctive Level 1's value, and for each following levels up to 40. That is the "standard HP x Lv" value, that is the one is the "base" value for all dragons before any modifiers that could change the "final HP value" like the percentage added by Stars and Ranks.

There is no way for the player to see/know the actual base-HP-per-Lvl, nor the modifiers or related affecting each particular dragon in the game. You can only SEE the actual "final-HP-value" as a number, when a dragon is in combat. It is required in the "Profile" for each dragon... to know the criterias that define "That" dragon (Category/Tier; Kind, ATKs and others) then, crossing that with the possible modifiers a dragon could have, (like actual Level number),you can finally estimate the real HP value of your dragon "at this moment". The "easy" way to know it is putting in combat that dragon and see the HP's number shown in the Combat-Screen. And that info changes constantly. So after each update you will have to redo the process again

The only way to see a dragon's Category is seeing how much MP (master points) it gives every level, or seeing how much MP it gives at lvl 1.

There is still hope that someday, the minimal info, like Category/Tier, base ATKs DMG, critical/weakness, etc  could be found in the Dragon Book entry for each dragon.

There are 11 categories.

  • Category 1: Elementals
  • Category 2: Common Hybrids
  • Categories 3-4: Exclusives/Rare Hybrids/Very Rare Hybrids
  • Categories 5: Exclusives/Normal Epic Dragons/Some Legendary Dragons
  • Category 6: Very Rare/ A few Legendary Dragons
  • Categories 7: A few Dragons with high HP but weak ATK
  • Categories 8: A few Dragons with higher HP than Categories 7 Dragons but weaker ATK
  • Category 9: Normal Legendary Dragons, Most of Titan Dragons, Most of Corrupted Dragons, All Ascended Dragons (both Divine Sacrifice and Divine Intervention).
  • Category 10: All Mythical dragons, All Vampire Families dragons, All Karma dragons, Mythical Titan dragons, Mythical Corrupted dragons, Light Titan Dragon and Dark Titan Dragon.
  • Category 11: Heroic Dragons

Challenges/Rankings without Battle bar

Challenges had formerly no battle stamina bar. which it was allowing to player battle more than 6 players in once. In some cases, Some players could used it as a rank boost and could reached the highest rank very quickly. Eventually, Challenges/Rankings had introduced battle stamina bar.

ABC Ranks System (pre-10th Anniversary System)

Dragons advance in rank by the number of opponents they beat in the Combat World. Advancing in rank makes a dragon's attacks more powerful and gives more HP. That helps your dragon beat other opponents of its own level and even higher levels.

Rank Info Page
Ranks Image Defeated Dragons Bonus (HP and ATK)

C- Rank C- 5 5%
C Rank C 15 10%
C+ Rank C+ 35 15%
B- Rank B- 60 20%
B Rank B 90 25%
B+ Rank B+ 120 30%

A+ Rank A+ 250 50%

Stars Rank System

Stars is the equivalent of Ranks in current pre-10th Anniversary Update version.

Dragons advance in rank by the number of opponents they beat in the Combat World. Advancing in rank makes a dragon's attacks more powerful and gives more HP. That helps your dragon beat other opponents of its own level and even higher levels. The first advance in rank earns a bronze star. After gaining three Bronze stars, you move on to Silver; after three Silver stars you move onto Gold; three Gold stars is the maximum rank for a dragon.

The message "Your dragon (Dragon name) advanced in rank!" indicates that your dragon has gained another star. Each star increases the power of your dragon's attacks by 5% and also the hit points of your dragon by 5%. As you are going through the stages, you will also notice increases in the critical attack power levels, especially when a dragon has weakness for the attacking dragon.
