In Evony, Dragons can be selected to follow Generals to enhance the troops’ buff, and the higher the Dragon’s level is, the more attributes and power will be brought to the Monarch. As the level of the Scared Dragon (on the Dragon Cliff) increases, the corresponding Dragon Decoration will be unlocked, which will make your castle look more magnificent.
Different Dragons can be acquired in different ways. Besides, there are three methods to increase their power. You can enhance your Dragons through feeding Dragons, refining Dragons, and awakening their talents. This article will explain how to unlock and enhance Dragons in detail.

How to Obtain Dragon Pattern?

During the event, you need to get the Dragon Soul Leaf from Reign of Dragon Rare or Reign of Dragon Epic packages. Then, use the Dragon Soul Leaf to spin the wheel. You will have an opportunity to receive the Dragon Pattern Chest from the wheel. Open the chest, and you can select one pattern (Jawzahr, Fasolt, or Radiantwyrm).
How to Get Exclusive Dragon Eggs?
The Dragon Eggs of Ladon, Amaterasu Dragon, and Ziz are all in the All-Star Shop.
You can consume 150 Galaxy Coins to redeem one agg.
The way to earn Galaxy Coin
All-Star and Star Goddess’ Box Event:
Participate in the All-Star, and you will acquire Galaxy Coins as rewards when your monarch ranking reaches a certain place.
Places 1 to 400 in All-Star Battlefield, Elite Battlefield, and Junior Battlefield will receive Galaxy Coins.
Moreover, you also have a chance of obtaining Galaxy Coins at the Star Goddess’ Box event during the Civilization Celebration. Choose the Star Box first, and then use the Star Key to open the Box. Galaxy Coin is in the prize pool of this box. The Star Key can be obtained from the corresponding packages.
How to Get Legendary Dragon Egg and Elder Dragon Soul?
All-Star Battlefield:
Players who qualify for the All-Star Battlefield and achieve a certain total ranking can receive these two rewards.
Personal ranking place 1 to 200 will receive 1 Legendary Dragon Egg; Rank in the top 50 will win 1 Elder Dragon Soul.
Players in Elite and Junior battlefields can not win these two rewards.
Feed Dragons
Feeding dragons can increase the EXP of Dragons and upgrade their level. After their level has been increased, the benefits brought to Generals will be improved, and the buffs brought to troops will also be improved.
There are many items that could be the food of Dragons, such as Excellent Dragon Coin, Gold, Equipment Material, Research Stone, Source of Life, Resources, Refining Stone, Badge, Gem, Revival Stone, Medal, and so on. And it is cost-effective to consume Excellent Dragon Coin to feed Dragons during the Super Feeding event.
You can feed Dragons 30 times and refresh recipes 10 times per day.
In practice, it can be found that different Dragons need different experience points to upgrade, and the Dragons in the Pasture eat less than the Sacred Dragons in the Dragon Cliff.
Dragon Decorations
Feed dragons to certain levels to unlock corresponding decorations with buffs. You can check the dragon decorations via “Decorate” -> “Miracle” -> “Dragon”.
Note: Dragon decorations cannot be used at the same time with “Wings” or other types of decorations.

Refining can make Dragons get more attributes. For example, the Attack, HP, Defense of the Ground Troops, Mounted Troops, Ranged Troops, and Siege Machine.
Awaken Dragons’ Talent
The Dragons and Sacred Dragons can awaken Talents when they reach a certain level, and their power will be increased greatly after awakening Talents.
The first 2 Talents of each Dragon or Sacred Dragon only apply to the troops led by the General who equipped that dragon. The third Talent of each Dragon or Sacred Dragon is an Active Talent. Select and use the corresponding Talent in the “Active Skill” interface to gain the buff. The buff takes effect in any case, lasts for a certain period, and has the cooldown. In order to understand them in detail, we will analyze the three Talents separately.
Talent Awakening means upgrading your Dragon’s Talent, and the max level of Talent is Lv40.
-
Upgrading the Talent of a Dragon in Pasture needs to consume Gem, Dragon Crystal, and Dragon Source Fragment.
-
Upgrading the Talent of a Sacred Dragon on Dragon Cliff needs to consume Gem, Badge, and Dragon Source Fragment.

……
Active Skill has a time limit and a cooldown time. The time limit in the table above means how long this Active Skill can affect after you use it. And the cooldown time of each Active Skill is 24 hours.

Conclusion
To get the most out of your Dragons, you need to not only feed them to level up, but also improve their attributes in certain troop classes through refining. Besides, awakening and using talents can not be ignored. If you are a whale player, please gain and develop Nidhogg, Ladon, Amaterasu Dragon, Colchian Dragon, Ziz, Yggdrasil, Gorynych, and Mengzhang as much as you can. But if you are a minnow or dolphin player, you can focus on the Celtic Demon, Fafnir, Norway Ridge, and The Dragon of Thebes.
