Catch up to the big players

The big players are strong through accumulation (and sometimes money). Without paying, you catch up via farmable permanents and tactics:

  1. 1

    Raise the habits of your best dragons (farmable Cores, permanent effect).

    Improve its habits
  2. 2

    Push stat and damage research (free, just time and resources).

    Deal more damage
  3. 3

    Develop your heirlooms and your House Level (permanent bonuses).

    Invest well (long term)
  4. 4

    Play smart: multi-wave attrition + your alliance for the big targets.

    Take a tough target (why I lose)
Good to know: Many big players buy their stars. You compensate with tactics and all the permanent you can farm.
