## Strategy & Tips

### **As a Dragonfly**

* The Dragonfly was known for being an extremely annoying predator for lower-tier animals due to its insane damage output. Now, several nerfs brought it back down to balance, giving the poor victims some breathing room at long last.
* If you hadn't chased other animals yet as a Wasp, now is a good time to train, as it is an essentially offensive creature, and the first of its kind. However, it does little damage against Flies (due to their ability), Butterflies can hide on Flowers (though they aren't invisible), and Mosquitoes have Pigs to protect themselves, the latter of which are harmful to Dragonflies. Otherwise, you can go and target Ladybugs, that can only be eaten by you and the reapers (but they won't usually target them, since they give no XP to them). They spawn plenty in the City and the Swamp, and by the way - stick around places with Bread, you'll be able to level up your next animal quickly. There is also a large rock in the far right of the Jungle where the Starfruit and the Meat is. This rock can contain up to 5 ladybugs, guaranteeing a huge step up into your next evolution. The problem is that this is far out of the way and not close to food sources for the Pigeon (if you don't count trying to get into the big floating island above you, which has some bread, crossing the entire map via Black Hole, or highly risking your life going to the Jungle's Black Widow cave or the another cave).
* Predators would have taken a special delight in devouring you due to the infamous reputation the species had gained, but now that pressure has moved into other animals.
* When escaping from predators, there are some things to note:
	+ 1- Do not evolve near Mad Bats and other future predators. The Pigeon cannot be eaten by the first 3 animals, the water animals, Bat, all birds except the Maroon one, the Dragonfly itself, Hen, Parrot, Turkey (do the inverse, evolve if you see one), Vulture, Snowy Owl, Pterodactyl Child, Stone and Demonic Egg Eater, Cosmic Insect, Cosmic Big Eye, Cosmic Angry Eye, Overfed Cosmic Bat, Ghost and Pumpkin, making its predator list high.
	+ 2- Touch the ground (Grasslands only) and pray that the Turkey chasing you touches it, finds a worm ***and*** evolves. If it doesn't, run and try again after 20 seconds.
		- 2.5- Search for a Wasp. If you have been a difficult prey to be gobbled up, the Turkey will focus on it.
	+ 3- Infected by a Mosquito and chased by a Maroon Bird? Go to a body of water. Their locations will be also where the Hornet will usually be. Even when you evolve, both will still be fighting against each other. If they want to go for you, they will be touching each other anyways.

### **As the prey of a Dragonfly**

* While it did receive several nerfs through updates, it doesn't mean they're any less deadly. Avoid them as much as possible!
* They tend to camp around trees, where their prey's food is plentiful. Don't take too many risks trying to gather it, and avoid getting yourself trapped beneath flowers.
* As a Mosquito (and any other prey of the Dragonfly, but those can't get some of their health restored by touching the Pig), you can take advantage of neighboring Pigs to give yourself a safety blanket.
* As a Fly, you have the Beginner's Luck special ability, which gives you the ability to dodge some attacks. You can survive the grasp of a Dragonfly if you're lucky enough.

### **As the predator of a Dragonfly**

* The Dragonfly, as said before, camps around trees, so you can go to one to find and kill dragonflies.
* As a reaper, they don't give you much xp, so unless the Dragonfly is already weakened or cannot move far from you, don't waste your time in hunting them.
* As a Maroon Bird, wait for it to evolve and Swoop on it. Pigeons give more EXP than Dragonflies, but the latter is less competed. Choose carefully.
