The Ultimate Guide to Leveling Dragons in Flight Rising

Leveling your dragons in Flight Rising is essential for Coliseum success, unlocking dominance bonuses, and creating powerful battle teams. Whether you’re new to the game or looking to optimize your strategy, this guide will help you get your dragons to level 25 efficiently.



1. Choose the Right Dragons to Level

Before you dive in, pick dragons that are worth investing time into. Here’s what to consider:
• Breed: Dragons with higher base stats like Imperials, Guardians, or Obelisks make great tanks. Faster breeds like Skydancers or Spirals excel as damage dealers.
• Element: Some elements work better in the Coliseum. Fire, Lightning, and Water have useful innate abilities, but any element can shine with the right build.
• Stats: Focus on dragons with decent Strength, Agility, or Vitality stats to make leveling easier.


2. Equip the Right Stones


Battle stones and abilities shape your dragon’s role:
• Tanks: Use Rally, Regeneration, and Shred. Stack Vitality and Strength.
• Healers: Equip Eliminate for single-target damage and Aid for healing.
• Damage Dealers: Equip Eliminate for efficient takedowns and Berserk to boost attack power.



3. Build a Balanced Team

A good Coliseum team includes:
1. One Tank: Absorbs hits and shreds enemies’ defenses.
2. One or Two Damage Dealers: Eliminates enemies quickly.
3. Optional Healer: Useful for survivability in tougher venues.


4. Pick the Right Venue for Leveling

Leveling dragons in the Coliseum is venue-dependent. Target enemies that give the most experience for your level range:
• Levels 1–5: Start in Training Fields. Easy battles and quick XP gains.
• Levels 6–10: Move to Woodland Path for stronger opponents and better drops.
• Levels 11–15: Head to Scorched Forest or Sandswept Delta.
• Levels 16–20: Progress to Bamboo Falls for balanced XP and loot.
• Levels 21–25: Grind in Crystal Pools or Kelp Beds for the best XP.


Pro Tip: Avoid venues where your dragons have elemental disadvantages, as this can make battles tougher.


5. Use the “Grinding Method”


Leveling is all about efficiency. Here’s how to maximize your grind:
1. Focus on Weak Enemies: Take down enemies quickly for fast XP.
2. Use the “Eliminate” Strategy: Equip Eliminate on your strongest dragon to one-shot enemies.
3. Cycle Healing: Use Regeneration or Aid to keep your team healthy without returning to the lair.
4. Avoid Overhealing: Only heal when necessary to save action points.


6. Take Advantage of Boosts


Use these strategies to make the process faster:
• Experience Bonuses: Equip items like Scholar’s Satchels or use Flight-based dominance boosts for increased XP.
• Lucky Drops: Grind venues with valuable item drops to earn treasure while leveling.
• Food Buffs: Use food buffs that boost Vitality or Strength for your dragons during tougher grinds.


7. Leverage Leveling Services (Optional)


If you’re short on time, consider paying for leveling services offered by experienced players. Just ensure you’re using a reputable seller.


8. Keep an Eye on Drops
As you grind, keep an eye out for valuable loot:
• Materials: Sell beastclan materials and resources for treasure.
• Familiars: Some venues drop rare familiars that can be sold or kept for your collection.
• Battle Stones: High-tier venues drop rare stones like Eliminate, which are highly sought after.


9. Plan for Post-Level 25 Use

Once your dragons reach level 25, put them to work:
• Dominance Pushes: Help your flight dominate the leaderboard.
• Treasure Farming: Grind in high-level venues for loot and treasure.
• Coliseum Events: Join events like the Thundercrack Carnivale or Greenskeeper Gathering to earn rewards.



10. Have Patience

Leveling to 25 can be a grind, but the rewards are worth it. Plan your sessions, take breaks, and enjoy the process. Happy battling!
