Which targets give the most dragon XP in Dragonfire?

Not all targets on the map are worth the same for dragon XP. XP depends on the type AND the level of the target:

• ❌ Bridge defenders / small tiles: very little XP (around 1,500–2,700 per fight). Avoid them for leveling.
• ✅ High-level tiles, hedge knights, beasts and wild dragons: much better XP, which goes up with the level of the target.

So to push a dragon up fast:

1. Go for wild dragons / beasts / hedge knights at the highest level you can clear.
2. Research "Combat Training" (+2.5%/level dragon XP in PvE).
3. Top it up with meat (the other way to raise a dragon's level).

Don't burn your marches on bridges: it's the worst XP return in the game.
