Dragon League
The Dragon League is a battling competition hosted in the Arena that takes place between Dragons. It is unlocked when a player reaches Level 11 and it can be accessed through the 
button on the bottom left-side of the screen or by pressing the very same button after selecting the Arena. The player selects up to three Dragons to fight against another player's Dragons in an attempt to gain points. When in battle, the attacking player is facing the actual Dragons of real players, but these Dragons are operated by the program as opposed to the actual player competing against the attacking player in real-time. In other words, the defending player's actions are taken by the game itself while using their Dragons. Players are awarded accumulative points after each battle for the battle performance, and, when applicable, rewards for reaching certain levels of win streaks. At the end of the competition, players receive league rewards based on their current league, player level (modifiers), and the number of points they have accumulated compared to other players.
Each battle in the Dragon League costs one unit of energy 
for a normal attack or two for a Focus Attack (increases the health of the Dragons by 50%). The energy will automatically regenerate at a rate of one every 40 minutes until a player's maximum limit is reached. The energy can also be immediately replenished with Arena Gems held in the inventory 
or by paying 3 Gems per energy (must purchase all energy required to meet the maximum limit through either method). VIP players have a limit of six units of energy and non-VIP players have a limit of four units of energy. There is currently no way to increase the maximum number of energy to more than six. The list of available opponents can be refreshed for free once every 3 hours or, if desired, at any time using 5 Gems per refresh.

InterfaceEdit

After opening the Dragon League screen, the player is able to see their current league, the time left for the current instance of the Dragon League, the leaderboard as well as their position on it, their current score, their current win streak, the current prize of the league, and a few more options. If there is no new prize to be earned, a window notifying the player will be displayed. From here on, the player can press: the 
button to see the current rankings, the 
button to see the rewards that can be earned from win streaks, the 
button to refill their Arena Energy, the emblem of the League to show the promotion rewards for each league, or the 
button to proceed to the battle selection screen.
PointsEdit
Points are earned for each match completed, win or lose. If a player loses the battle, they will only receive 20 points in total. If a player wins a match, they will receive a base of 100 points plus any bonus point earned from the battle.
Additional PointsEdit
Bonus points are added based upon the difficulty of the battle, the number of stars earned, the player's winning streak, and whether both battlers are in a Clan or not.
Difficulty - Players are presented with three opponents; the battle difficulty will be displayed upon the challenge snapshot of each opponent, along with the Dragons they will bring to the battle. There are three possible levels of difficulty:
| Battle Rank | Bonus |
|---|---|
| Easy | 25 |
| Normal | 75 |
| Hard | 150 |
Stars Earned - Each star earned from winning a battle is worth an additional 5 points.
Win Streak - Bonus points are given for defeating multiple opponents in a row within a given time frame. The bonus points increase with the win streak and are added to the player's score.
| Win Streak | No Streak | 3 Streak | 6 Streak | 9 Streak | 12 Streak | 15 Streak | 18 Streak | 20 Streak |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bonus | +0% | +10% | +20% | +30% | +40% | +60% | +80% | +100% |
Clans - When a Clan member defeats a member of an opposing Clan, the winner receives an additional 20% to their combined score.

LeaguesEdit
Each competition divides players into groups of 500 and lasts 3 days and 10 hours. Thus, there are two iterations of the Dragon League per week, one between Monday 07:00 UTC and Thursday 17:00 UTC, and the other between Thursday 17:00 UTC and Monday 07:00 UTC. Once a competition has finished, players are rewarded based on their points compared to other players.
Players in the Top 140 of their league are promoted to the next league. Upon reaching Bronze League 2, players that do not obtain rankings higher than 360 are demoted to the league previous to their current one. Once the top prize for a league is obtained, players who get demoted and then promoted back will not receive the same prize again, the only rewards given being those from the leaderboard.
The amount of Gold and Food rewarded are based on the player's level. The values below pertain to Modifier 1. See Level Modifier for more information.

SpecialEdit
On the 13th, 14th and 15th of March 2015, the Dragon League had a daily run of 12 hours in which a different prize was awarded each day to those who placed in the top five spots. On the first day, the prize was the Agent Dragon, on the second day it was the Lynx Dragon, and on the last day it was the Hammerhead Dragon.
EventsEdit
See Clan Events and Faction Events for more information
- Starting with the introduction of the very first Faction Event in the game (Light and Shadow Games), where two sides compete against each other, Dragon League battles are sometimes the goal for these types of events.
- A type of Clan Event called Settle the Score ran once every 3 weeks, from Monday to Friday, before it was discontinued. It was available only to Clan members and its goal was for these members to collectively gather as many points as possible during the event, which counted toward their Clan score, but also to their individual score. That event has since been replaced by The Great Dragon Race, a Clan event that includes Dragon League battles as one of the various tasks that can be done to acquire ingredients for the event. Dragon League battles are also part of the tasks for another Clan Event called Clan Siege.
