The Dragon Battle Event in Evony: The King’s Return is one of those limited-time events where preparation, daily consistency, and a little bit of strategy can make all the difference. At first glance, it looks like a simple “attack and claim rewards” event, but if you dig deeper, there are layers of optimization that determine whether you end up with just a handful of rewards or climb into the coveted Braveheart Certificate rankings for massive loot.
This Evony Dragon Battle Event Guide breaks down how the event works, the different types of dragons you’ll face, the reward structure, and most importantly, the strategies you should use to maximize your results without wasting resources.
Evony Dragon Battle Event Guide: How to Dominate Dragons
You’ll find Dragon Battle under the Event Center. Once inside, the mechanics are straightforward:
- Dragon Battle Canes are your primary currency. You use these to attack dragons.
- You can earn a limited number of free canes daily (by killing monsters, up to 20 per day).
- Additional canes come from event packages, which are a paid option.
Each attack gives you rewards and Dragon Battle Points, which contribute to both your daily treasure chests and your ranking position.
At the end of the event, unused canes are automatically converted into Dragon Battle Chests, so you won’t lose them — but it’s far better to use them actively since attacking contributes to your ranking.
Types of Dragons
There are three types of dragons in this event, each with unique mechanics and rewards:
- Weakened Dragon
- The most common and easiest to defeat.
- Defeating it has a chance to summon a Mighty Dragon.
- Good for farming points consistently.
- Mighty Dragon
- Appears only when triggered by defeating a Weakened Dragon.
- Provides better rewards per attack and defeat.
- Caution: may flee when attacked, so there’s some risk.
- Ferocious Dragon
- Spawns once daily at a fixed time.
- Can only be defeated once per day.
- Offers luxurious rewards, sometimes delayed until the following day.
- Highly recommended to prioritize this fight, since it’s limited-time.
Rewards & Points
Every dragon you attack yields:
- Instant rewards (resources, items, dragon canes, and more).
- Dragon Battle Points that push you toward daily milestones and rankings.
Key Reward Features:
- Daily Treasure Chests: Claimable after reaching specific point thresholds. You also get one free chest daily.
- Point Treasure Chests: Additional rewards unlocked once you pass certain point milestones.
- Ranking Rewards: Based on accumulated dragon battle points across multiple servers (called the Braveheart Certificate Ranking).
- Top 100 players receive extra rewards.
- For reference: in the video example, Top 100 required ~1,570 points, while the #1 player had over 8,000 points.
Tips to Maximize Your Gains
- Always Use Your Daily Canes
- Don’t let them sit in your inventory. Points are key for ranking and daily rewards.
- Target the Ferocious Dragon Daily
- Since it only spawns once and can’t be farmed, missing it means losing out on premium loot.
- Chain Weakened Dragons to Spawn Mighty Dragons
- Keep farming the Weakened Dragon — the more you defeat, the higher your chance of summoning the Mighty one.
- This is where you can snowball into better rewards.
- Use Attack x10 Wisely
- If you kill a dragon in fewer than 10 hits, the leftover canes are refunded.
- Great for efficiency when you’re short on time.
- Track Your Ranking Progress
- Always check the Braveheart Certificate rankings. Even small pushes can secure you into the Top 100 bracket.
- Since 51st–100th place rewards are still decent, it’s worth trying if you’re close.
- Event Pack Consideration
- Free-to-play players should focus on daily canes and consistency.
- Low-cost packs (like the $4.99 one) can significantly boost your cane count, which in turn improves your ranking potential.
Ranking Breakdown Example
- Top Player: 8,110 points.
- Entry into Top 100: ~1,570 points.
- Player in Video: 500 points (after a single day of participation).
This tells us that casual play won’t get you into the top ranks, but steady participation and maybe a small investment can push you into the bottom of the top 100, where rewards still add up.
The Dragon Battle Event in Evony isn’t overly complex, but it rewards consistency and smart play. Whether you’re free-to-play or a spender, the key is to:
- Log in daily.
- Use all your canes.
- Prioritize the Ferocious Dragon.
- Keep an eye on your ranking progress.
Do this, and you’ll walk away with steady loot, bonus chests, and potentially ranking rewards that make the effort worthwhile.
