The first limited dragon of an event is always a greatly anticipated arrival. Everyone’s wondering about its look & design, its breed time, and the combination needed to breed a Brood dragon.
Gatren + Dracabra
This combination shares plant, fire, earth, cold, lightning and dark. An awful lot of fails.
The 3.1% breeding chance drops to less than 1.5. 47 attempts are required for a 50/50 chance to breed a Brood dragon. Average fail time of 14.22 hours, means nearly 27.84 days of non stop breeding to get an even money chance.
Clone a Brood Dragon
Edit: DECA changed the elements that the Brood dragon has shared, so I have edited the clone details below. For the record, the previous average fail time was 11.56 hours, which meant 3.37 days for an even money shot. – Shane
Brood shares the fire, earth, lightning and dark. Firefly or Scorch is the regular hybrid with the shortest breed time.
The 10% cloning chance, means only 7 attempts are needed for a 50/50 shot. Average fail time drops to 11.02 hours, so only 3.21 days to try and clone one. But let’s take a look at cloning by adding a plant element.
Brood + Cactus
Adding 10% cloning chance of Cactus (or Poison), plus the extra plant hybrid fails, reduces the average fail time to 10.61 hours. Which means 3.1 days for an even money chance to breed a Brood dragon. Brood + Cactus/Poison is my recommendation. Good luck everyone.
