Half of DCW is about choosing the Dragons. lol

Have you played the Stadium Tournaments? It is similar.

Your Battle Team should consist of three members -- the Anchor, the Backup and the Reserve. In case you are only allowed one member, choose your Anchor.

Criteria for Battle Team members:
 * 1) High HP. Dragons are generally assigned a category (listed in the Dragon's page). The higher the category, the higher the HP compared to same level Dragons of other categories.
 * 2) Resistance to attacks. Look at the Primary (first) Element of your Dragon for this. Since the LaW update, immunity doesn't work so you should ignore that data.
 * 3) Ability to inflict Critical Damage. Critical damage means double Damage. If the opponent is particularly sensitive to an Element, then that element will inflict Critical Damage.

Try using the Combat Quick Reference to decide which Dragons to use. Certain Dragons are popular -- learn what type of Element Attacks they have, and avoid the Dragons that would receive double damage from them, and choose dragons that they receive double damage from.

The best teacher for "How to choose a Battle Team" is experience. Don't be afraid of it. :D
