Life is Dragons

[krait]

Seven days ago I started playing Flight Rising, which I've thought of for years as "the other dragon game." :D Then yesterday DragCave dropped a new breed and a new hybrid. Everything in my life is coming up dragons!

Anyone on the flist a Flight Rising player? Show me all your beautiful and skilled dragons!

It's unfair that nobody warned me playing the Shock Switch minigame is addictive. There goes the time I should have spent cleaning the house! Oops. Collecting dragons is also addictive, but DragonCave taught me that years ago. ;D I've already bought four lair expansions, so now I can have up to 25 total dragons. I haven't tried breeding yet, but someone kindly gave me a Level 7 Veilspun so I finally ventured into the Coliseum.

Familiars are my favourite thing - all right, aside from Shock Switch - and I went on a collecting/buying spree, so now I have more familiars than dragons, and there are still several more I want. If anyone has a Platewing Spinx going spare, I'd give it a good home!

Speaking of familiars, I joined during a site event, and the special familiar you could buy in the event shop was... a krait. :D :D :D :D (Albeit one with an inaccurate tail, but still!)

BTW if you want any retired festival familiars from 2017-19, let me know; I have multiples of a bunch of them.

Yay, FR! Behold, my lair full of Transformers-themed draggos. :D

And yes, Shock Switch is addictive. As is Artifracture, I find....

[owlmoose]

Welcome aboard! I've been at FR for many many years now, and although I'm not as active as I was, I still keep up.

My game is the Coliseum, which has the advantage of being a good way to earn treasure. If you want any tips on getting started, let me know!

ohhhh Flight Rising. I played that years ago! I probably still have a thing there. Been forever. Wait, lemme see if I can still find myself.

But...I haven't been playing in years 😂

Ooh, other FR players! My lair of delightfully quirky creatures is over here.

Ooh, thanks for the heads up about the new DC release -- I've not been on there for months and this was my poke to go pick up some eggs :)

[krait]

There are some gorgeous dragons in your lair!

Artifracture is indeed also addictive, but I've been playing Bejeweled for years so I already knew that. :D Whereas Shock Switch took me by surprise.

[krait]

I left a note on your profile; I see we both favour blue-green dragons. :D

I am... figuring out... the Coliseum? Though I feel that a better phrase might be, 'flailing through' or perhaps 'enduring'? Heh. Someone kindly gifted me a higher-level dragon, so I'm trying to get my progenitor pair up a few levels in the name of getting the hang of the combat system. I will definitely hit you up for tips! My current Coliseum team is Alorn | Sorenna | Stormsilt, and advice on what kinds of supplies I should equip them with would be particularly welcome. (I see armour apparel; is that functional combat protection, or just protection? What about gaining more attacks?)

I've got three hatchies on my scroll that I plan to eventually level up and exalt, but for now I'm using them for familiar farming. (I think a third of my lair may be familiar farming right now, honestly. There are too many familiars I want but can't afford, so I'm grinding through Fiona's Feats.) Why are there so many pretty familiars when I also need to be able to afford gene scrolls and magic rocks?! :D

[krait]

You have some beautiful dragons! ♥ I like their names, too. :D

[krait]

You have some lovely specimens!

[krait]

You're welcome! I almost missed it, too, because I was mostly only looking at the AP in the last week or so. (With the recent 'walls,' I'm trying to catch up on my frozen hatchie needs.) Went to a biome, noticed it was empty, almost went back to the AP instead of trying another and realising something was up! Glad the info was timely for you; did you manage to catch any/enough?

[krait]

Thank you for the offer! I'm still working out the 99 million items in the game, but it's a pretty sure bet that I like any blue familiar, particularly if I don't have one yet. :D I've got a lair full of blue dragons, and my goal is to have all of them paired with familiars that match them as closely as possible!

[hamsterwoman]

; did you manage to catch any/enough?

I did! :) I was able to grab two of the new releases and a couple of dragons from past recent releases that I either missed completely or didn't have enough of to unlock the encyclopedia. Haven't gotten the new pygmy, but I'm not that much into pygmies anyway, so that can wait.

[white_aster]

Thank you. :) Keeping the Transformers theme going is a nice way, I've found, to give some structure to the collecting game. :D

[white_aster]

Oh, and because I see you asking about Coli advice below, generally the trick is to A) hit hard and B) go before the enemies do, which will let you get into a long victory streak because you're wiping out the enemies before they get a shot off. This guide is pretty much what I do: https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/gde/937136. It involves a lot of ambush and berserker stones, and a specific ratio of stat boosts when you level your draggos. I have extras, lmk your username, and I can send you over a care package? :D

[owlmoose]

The armor is all cosmetic. You make your dragons tougher by upgrading their stats and equipping battle stones. There are dozens of guides describing various optimal builds, but I'm partial to this one: https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/gde/1344211/1

Nice team! Are those your progenitors?

[feuervogel]

send me a friend request, and i'll send you stuff!!
(I sent you one and a PM with a bunch of familiars)

[chanter1944]

Thank you! :D What's your username over there? I admit, I wanna see your dragons so far!

[krait]

Thank you for the link and advice! I've got a Level 15 dragon and he has been trounced (only twice, but still) by some Level 4 enemies, so clearly it's me and not him who doesn't know what they're doing. XD

I am Sorenna if you want to wander by to stare at my motley collection and/or send a friend request.

[krait]

Here's my lair!

[krait]

Okay, thanks! I assumed at first that only stuff on the 'Battle' tab would be relevant, but then started second-guessing when I saw "Armor" and didn't want to overlook anything potentially helpful!

I'm kind of glad, because dress-up is not really a game I want to go into. There could be a rare exception where an apparel item helps cover up a less-than-ideal colour or marking.

(And argh, in my comment above that second 'protection' should be 'decoration,' obviously. Oops.)
