WISH I'D KNOWN>>>>>Oh boy, do I ever have a list for new players:

1. Don't waste food raising levels of dragons you don't need for combat. To breed, I understand that in most cases, high levels don't change the results much anymore.

2. If combat is important, check the attack levels your dragon has before buying or breeding for him. ( The higher level attacks he can be trained in, the better).

3. Use the dragons you want to fight with so that they can earn stars ( stars don't count in breeding, only for combat).

4. If you get a dragon you don't want or need, sell it.

5. When you get the famous "You lost, come back with higher leveled dragons", that means, feed them more to raise them to the higher levels (you are permitted by YOUR level (ex. lvl.15, 20 etc.) and/or train them to the max. Training doesn't cost money, only time, the higher level attacks take time so don't wait until your dragons are losing to start training. Also, you can only train one at a time so it will take days or weeks before your team is ready. Start training one when you go to bed so that the next day you'll be much further along.

6. When you enter a combat, write down how many points your dragon has, then you know if you will have a chance with your opponents, if not, next time, use higher leveled dragons. You can write down who your opponents were, do some research on them and come back and WIN!

7. Conserve your gems, they're hard (and/or expensive) to get. Don't speed things up if it isn't necessary or wait a while till it costs less gems.

8. When you get a new dragon and don't have a habitat, look at your dragon's secondary (or third) elements, you can place them there too. Another possibility is to revise all your dragons that are already placed, check their secondary elements, maybe you can move one to make room for the new one.

9. Lastly, become acquainted with the common element attacks so that the minute you see what your unknown opponent's element is, you know how to attack. Example: If you have an opposing Fire Dragon, think of what puts out a fire - water, right? Well, go for using Water or Ice. Also, become familiar with what elements are fatal to your dragons and try to keep them away from opposing dragons that can easily finish them off. (Especially if you've lost and are coming back for a second try).

That's it for now, hope it helps. These are things I wish someone had told me. Good luck!
