Battle

In Dragon City, players are able to battle bot and others players.
==Battle modes==
===Leagues===
thumb|300px|After rotation, this user has 3 options to choose opponent. Note at progress is 6/8 and there are 2 players to choose
This is a place where you can fight other people's dragons.
You can use up to 3 dragons in this battle with the only requirement being that they are level 4 or higher. You progress through a league by beating the other players.
The number of combats left will decrease by 1 for every battle. You can have 3 combats within 6 hour period. After using up all your available combats, you have to wait for another 6 hours. By beating 8 players in one league, you are awarded gems and the combats have fully replenished
The final league is league 400. Anytime you complete a League 400, it will refresh you with more opponents, not on league 401 but on the same league 400. Your rewards also won't count to refreshing.
The opponent's dragons is capped at level 40.
===Quests===
Main article: Quests
===Arenas===
Main article: Arenas
Unlike Leagues, Arenas has the rules, element boost, health boost, more rewards and penalties. 
The number of combats left will decrease by 1 for every battle. You can have 6 combats within 30 minutes. After using up all your available combats, you have to wait for another 30 minutes to refill the a 1/6 of stamina bar.
If a or some dragons survived, they can continue to the next battle. but If a or some dragons defeated, they become tired (cooldown and unable to battle to the next battle until cooldown is over). The rarer the dragon, the longer if needs to rest (cooldown length).
===Missing Dragon Rescue===
Main article: Missing Dragon Rescue
Unlike others battle modes, this is 6 vs 6. Players need keys to rescue dragons.
==Elements chart==
Image taken from the official Dragon City Discord
: Damage is a impact that a attack has on a dragon.
: The damage is multiplied by effectivness (see table).
: Read as attacks element to the first element of the defending dragon.
: There are four possible results:
:*Strong: Causes double damage (200%).
:* Normal: Causes normal damage (100%).
:* Weak: Causes only half damage (50%).
:* No Damage: Causes NO damage (0%).​
​
===Element interaction===
Dragons can have one, two, three or four elements. There are 21 different elements in Dragon City:
*Terra, Flame, Sea, Nature, Electric, Ice, Metal, Dark, Light, War, Pure, Legend, Primal, Wind, Time and 6 ancient elements: Magic, Chaos, Happy, Dream, Beauty, and Soul
*Physical attacks are a 2nd attack type (but not an element).
The primary/defending element is the dragon's first element:
*The Cloud Dragon is listed as , making its defending element Flame.
*While the Blizzard Dragon is listed as , making its defending element Sea.
The type of attack and the defending dragon's primary element determine the damage of the attack.
===AI attacks===
In Facebook, with the exception of Pure Dragon, if the AI dragon has an attack that inflicts critical damage, it uses it. If not, it uses only physical attacks.
In iOS, Android and Amazon, the AI dragon will always use strong attacks first, followed by the strongest elemental attack they have, melee attacks and weak attacks.
In Combats via the Coliseum, AI dragons will never use trained attacks, nor do they have stars.
==New Ranks System==
Dragons advance in rank by the number of opponents they beat in the Combat World. Advancing in rank makes a dragon's attacks more powerful and gives more HP. That helps your dragon beat other opponents of its own level and even higher levels.
Ranks 	Image	Defeated Dragons	Bonus (HP and ATK)	Orbs
None 	 	0 	None 	None
Bronze I 	 	5 	5% 	+2
Bronze II 	 	15 	10% 	+2
Bronze III 	 	35 	15% 	+2
Silver I 	 	60 	20% 	+4

Platinum II 	 	400 	60% 	+8
Platinum III	 	500 	70% 	+8
When is ranked up, The message "You achieved New Rank!" appeared with new rank animation to the specific dragon.
==Dragon Hitpoints==
Dragons are assigned to Hitpoints (HP) per-level-based values. Grouped in five Categories, also called "Tiers".
Each category has diferent values compared with the other categories/tiers, each with a distinctive Level 1's value, and for each following levels up to 40. That is the "standard HP x Lv" value, that is the one is the "base" value for all dragons before any modifiers that could change the "final HP value" like the percentage added by Stars and Ranks.
There is no way for the player to see/know the actual base-HP-per-Lvl, nor the modifiers or related affecting each particular dragon in the game. You can only SEE the actual "final-HP-value" as a number, when a dragon is in combat. It is required in the "Profile" for each dragon... to know the criterias that define "That" dragon (Category/Tier; Kind, ATKs and others) then, crossing that with the possible modifiers a dragon could have, (like actual Level number),you can finally estimate the real HP value of your dragon "at this moment". The "easy" way to know it is putting in combat that dragon and see the HP's number shown in the Combat-Screen. And that info changes constantly. So after each update you will have to redo the process again
The only way to see a dragon's Category is seeing how much MP (master points) it gives every level, or seeing how much MP it gives at lvl 1.
There is still hope that someday, the minimal info, like Category/Tier, base ATKs DMG, critical/weakness, etc  could be found in the Dragon Book entry for each dragon.
There are 11 categories.
*Category 1: Elementals
*Category 2: Common Hybrids
*Categories 3-4: Exclusives/Rare Hybrids/Very Rare Hybrids
*Categories 5: Exclusives/Normal Epic Dragons/Some Legendary Dragons
*Category 6: Very Rare/ A few Legendary Dragons
*Categories 7: A few Dragons with high HP but weak ATK
*Categories 8: A few Dragons with higher HP than Categories 7 Dragons but weaker ATK
*Category 9: Normal Legendary Dragons, Most of Titan Dragons, Most of Corrupted Dragons, All Ascended Dragons (both Divine Sacrifice and Divine Intervention).
*Category 10: All Mythical dragons, All Vampire Families dragons, All Karma dragons, Mythical Titan dragons, Mythical Corrupted dragons, Light Titan Dragon and Dark Titan Dragon.
*Category 11: Heroic Dragons

==Historical==
===PvP===
Also known as PvP League, It was originally 3 (reduced to 2 in Jan. 2013, still 3 on Mobiles) and you advance to the next league.
===Challenges/Rankings without Battle bar=== 
Challenges had formerly no battle stamina bar. which it was allowing to player battle more than 6 players in once. In some cases, Some players could used it as a rank boost and could reached the highest rank very quickly. Eventually, Challenges/Rankings had introduced battle stamina bar.
==ABC Ranks System (pre-10th Anniversary System)==
Dragons advance in rank by the number of opponents they beat in the Combat World. Advancing in rank makes a dragon's attacks more powerful and gives more HP. That helps your dragon beat other opponents of its own level and even higher levels.
Ranks	Image	Defeated Dragons	Bonus (HP and ATK)
None 	 	0 	None
C- 	 	5 	5%
C 	 	15 	10%
C+ 	 	35 	15%
B- 	 	60 	20%
B 	 	90 	25%
B+ 	 	120 	30%
A- 	 	160 	35%
A 	 	200 	40%
A+ 	 	250 	50%
===Stars Rank System===
Stars is the equivalent of Ranks in current pre-10th Anniversary Update version.
Dragons advance in rank by the number of opponents they beat in the Combat World. Advancing in rank makes a dragon's attacks more powerful and gives more HP. That helps your dragon beat other opponents of its own level and even higher levels. The first advance in rank earns a bronze star. After gaining three Bronze stars, you move on to Silver; after three Silver stars you move onto Gold; three Gold stars is the maximum rank for a dragon.
The message "Your dragon (Dragon name) advanced in rank!" indicates that your dragon has gained another star. Each star increases the power of your dragon's attacks by 5% and also the hit points of your dragon by 5%. As you are going through the stages, you will also notice increases in the critical attack power levels, especially when a dragon has weakness for the attacking dragon.
Stars 	Image	Defeated Dragons	Bonus	New Ranking Equivalent
