EVONY DRAGON EVOLUTION
Unlocking and leveling Dragons is the definitive path to power in Evony TKR. To begin, build the Pasture to Level 26 for the Celtic Dragon or win All-Stars for Sacred Dragons. Feeding Dragon Exp and refining with materials are vital. Pro Tip: Reach Level 10 to unlock talents that provide massive percentage boosts to your army.
CELTIC DRAGON FOR BOWS
RANGED UNIT BUFFS
The Celtic Dragon is the gold standard for Archer Generals. Specialized in Ranged Attack and Range, it turns your bowmen into snipers. Tip: Always refine for Ranged Attack percentages to maximize damage from your backline units.
DRAGON FEEDING
Unlock this beast once your Pasture hits level 26. Focus leveling efforts here to bolster Archer stats. Using Dragon Source Fragments is necessary for higher tiers. Avoid spreading resources; keep your focus on your main PVP march dragon.
Prioritize Ranged HP and Attack. Tip: Refine with Gems or Stones to hit four rows of gold Ranged Attack stats.
THEBES GROUND UNIT GUIDE
GROUND DEFENSE
Thebes is the ultimate protector for Ground marches. Its natural HP and Defense buffs make your footmen nearly invincible. Tip: Assign Thebes to a General like Trajan to create a front line that can withstand any cavalry charge.
Perfect for Ground-heavy formations. Reach Level 10 for full defense perks. Tip: High Ground HP is mandatory for winning Server vs Server wars.
WALL DEFENSE
A leveled Thebes is also a powerful Wall General assistant. Reach maximum levels to ensure your city defense can weather a massive rally. The added HP ensures your troops survive longer against heavy Siege and Archer rain.
NIDHOGG SIEGE STRATEGY
Nidhogg is the supreme choice for Siege Machine dominance. By providing massive Siege Range and Attack, it allows your artillery to fire first and hardest. Tip: In the current meta, a Nidhogg-led siege rally can break any city wall.
SIEGE MASTER
Focus on Siege Damage and HP to ensure your machines stay up.
DRAGON TALENTS
Level 10 unlocks Path A. Level 15 unlocks the Ultimate Skill.
Refine specifically for Siege Machine Attack. Aim for 20% plus per slot. Tip: Use refining stones only on high levels.
FEEDING AND REFINING
FAST LEVEL
RESOURCE USAGE
Growth requires a steady supply of Dragon Exp and Materials. Feed your dragon daily to increase its level and raw stats. Refining is the second step, requiring gems and stones to lock in specific troop buffs. Tip: Do not waste refining stones on low-level dragons; wait until you hit level 6 minimum for better slots.
STAT FOCUS
OPTIMAL BUF
When refining, focus on one specific troop type per dragon. A dragon with mixed stats—like half Ranged and half Ground—is weaker in high-level PVP. Specialization is the key to victory. Tip: Aim for gold-colored percentage stats to ensure you are getting the maximum possible boost from your dragon equipment.
GENERAL TASKS
BATTLE ROLES
Assign dragons to Generals based on their unique skill synergy. If a General has a Ranged buff, the Celtic Dragon is the best fit. For a Cavalry General, Fafnir provides the critical speed and attack needed. Tip: You must assign the dragon in the General's interface before the march begins to apply buffs.
SYNERGY PAIRING LAB
ELITE ASSIGNMENTS
Pair 1: Minamoto with Celtic Dragon for elite Ranged lethality. Pair 2: Martinus with Fafnir for the game's strongest Cavalry strike. Tip: Check the Spirit Beast tab to ensure your dragon doesn't overlap with beast buffs.
GENERAL AND DRAGON OPTIMIZATION INDEX
LETHAL PAIRS
Advanced Tactic: Use Elise with Thebes for a Ground march that is almost impossible to wipe. For Siege battery, use Ulysses with Nidhogg to outrange the opponent. Tip: Proper pairing can increase your total power score by several millions.
WARZONE TACTICS AND UNIT COMBINATIONS
BEAST VS DRAGON UNITS
SUPPORTING YOUR MAIN MARCH FORMATIONS
While Dragons are for your primary generals, Spiritual Beasts like the Pegasus or Kongamato serve as excellent alternatives for your backup generals or sub-city mayors. Dragons offer higher scaling but beasts are easier to unlock early. Tip: Move your best dragon to your active march general right before a rally hits to maximize results.
