An Introduction to DragonVale Breeding

Before we dive into the specifics of breeding the Sun Dragon, let’s review some key facts about breeding in DragonVale:

  • Each dragon has one or more possible egg combinations that can result in that dragon. The Sun Dragon has three potential combinations.
  • Dragons must be level 4 or higher to breed.
  • Breeding takes place in the Breeding Cave or Epic Breeding Island.
  • The breeding time for a Sun Dragon egg is 14 hours.
  • Some dragons, like the Sun Dragon, are “hybrid dragons”, meaning they can only be acquired through breeding, not through purchasing eggs.
  • There is always a degree of chance in breeding. Even if you use the right combos, there is no guarantee the Sun Dragon will result. Patience and perseverance is key!

Now that we’ve covered some basic breeding facts, let’s look specifically at how to get the Sun Dragon.

The Sun Dragon Element Combinations

The Sun Dragon is a rare hybrid dragon with three potential breeding combinations. The elements needed are Fire, Lightning, and Plant. Here are the three combos that can result in a Sun Dragon:

  • Fire and Lightning
  • Fire and Plant
  • Lightning and Plant

As you can see, Fire is common to all three. This fiery element is key when trying for this blazing hot dragon.

Some good dragon pairs to use include:

  • Fire and Sonic (Lightning)
  • Fire and Poison (Plant)
  • Fire and Evergreen (Plant)
  • Sonic and Poison
  • Sonic and Evergreen

The most important factor is having at least one dragon with the Fire element and one with either Lightning or Plant. Focus on pairing dragons that cover those elements for the best Sun Dragon breeding odds.

Tips for Breeding the Sun Dragon

How to Breed the Sun Dragon in DragonVale

Breeding the Sun Dragon takes luck and perseverance. Here are some tips to boost your chances:

Use high level dragons – Use dragons that are at least level 15 or higher if possible. Higher level dragons have better breeding odds compared to lower level ones.

Upgrade your breeding spaces – Upgrade your Breeding Cave and Epic Breeding Island to upgrade your breeding odds. This costs gems but is well worth it.

Wait for special events – Sometimes DragonVale will host special breeding events that temporarily increase breeding chances for certain rare dragons like the Sun Dragon. Watch for these limited windows!

Use the Epic Breeding Island – While you can breed the Sun Dragon in the regular Breeding Cave, the Epic Breeding Island offers better breeding odds for rare dragons. Use this upgraded space if you have it.

Retry unsuccessful breedings – Don’t give up if you don’t get the Sun Dragon on the first try! Keep trying the recommended combos.

Clear out failed breeds quickly – Don’t let unwanted breeds take up space. Clear out eggs from failed attempts right away to open up breeding spaces again.

Utilize breeds that take less time – Some breed times are shorter than others. Use dragons with 6-12 hour breed times so you can fit more breed attempts into the day.

Follow these tips and be diligent and you will eventually achieve your goal of breeding a fiery Sun Dragon!

Which combo is best for breeding the Sun Dragon?

The three breeding combos containing Fire + Lightning, Fire + Plant, and Lightning + Plant all have an equal chance of breeding a Sun Dragon. There is no one “best” combo, so feel free to use any of those three pairings. Higher level dragons will up your breeding odds.

If I don’t get a Sun Dragon at first, should I keep trying?

Is there any way to guarantee getting the Sun Dragon?
