How to level up a dragon fast with meat?

You can raise a dragon's level instantly by feeding it meat (the "Feed / Dragon Meal" screen), instead of waiting for combat XP.

Meat comes from events, the campaign, encounters and the shop.

⚠️ Two traps:

• Meat resets at the end of the reign — so use it before then, otherwise it's lost.
• Level is capped by the campaign stage you've reached (e.g. cap 30). No point stuffing a dragon past the cap.

Strategy: use meat to bring your key dragons to the cap fast at the start of a reign, then let combat do the rest. Since level is throwaway (it resets), don't put your permanent resources into it.
