How to Play Dragon Defense
Objective: Wild dragons and a goblin warband are closing in on your village wall. Shoot dragons to weaken them, tame them, and deploy your new allies on the five-lane grid to stop the horde. If the wall falls, the village burns.

The taming loop
Weaken — the Tamer auto-fires at wild dragons. Keep shooting until a dragon's health bar drops below 50% and a gold ring appears.
Capture — get close and press E (or the gadget button). Used above 50% HP the gadget fails. Stronger dragons need better snares from the shop: Iron Net → Chain Snare → Frost Snare → Electromagnetic Harpoon.
Deploy — click a dragon card in your satchel, then place it on a glowing grass tile. Placed dragons aim at the incoming horde and fight automatically in their lane.
Defend — goblins, runners, orcs and brutes march on the wall. Each dragon guards its own lane; lose the wall and the run is over.
Grow — spend gold in the workshop: better gadgets unlock mightier dragons (up to the legendary Celestial Dragon), and Dragon Treats power up your species mid-battle.
Dragon Bond & Treats
Every kill a placed dragon lands fills its species' Bond bar. Each level instantly boosts damage, health and attack speed for all dragons of that species.
At Bond 2 and Bond 4 each species awakens elemental powers: fire ignites and bursts, storm chains lightning, frost chills and shatters armor, magma erupts, and holy light smites.
Bond resets each battle. Short on time? Buy a species' favorite treat — Ember Peppers, Static Eel, Glacial Salmon, Obsidian Marrow, Celestial Feast — and feed it mid-battle for instant Bond XP.
The five dragons
Tier 1 — Ember Whelp: fast fireballs; ignites targets at high Bond.
Tier 2 — Storm Drake: charged bolts that arc between enemies.
Tier 3 — Frost Wyrm: chill shards that slow whole lanes.
Tier 4 — Obsidian Dragon: heavy magma blasts with splash damage.
Tier 5 — Celestial Dragon: piercing holy lances with the longest range.
Endless — The Long Night
Waves never stop and grow +12% stronger every wave; an Elite Warlord leads every 5th wave.
You start with two free Ember Whelps and a breather between waves. Call waves early (N / CALL WAVE) for a +15% gold bonus.
Your best run (waves, kills, gold, time) is remembered — and all endless gold banks into your campaign wallet.
Tips
Captured dragons and gold persist between battles — replay cleared stages to farm captures and shop money.
Keep the Tamer near the hottest lane: his bolts both weaken dragons for capture and chip away at enemies.
Frost Wyrms slow enemies — pair them with heavy hitters like Obsidian Dragons for maximum uptime.
Don't waste captures: attempting above 50% HP always fails and triggers a cooldown.
In Endless, save better gadgets and treats for the Elite Warlord waves (5, 10, 15…).
