How to Improve Dragons in Evony

When you first unlock a Dragon they are actually pretty weak and in some cases, you may be best continuing to use a Spiritual Beast until you have improved them. There are three main ways to improve a Dragon: feeding, Refining, and Talents. Details on each of these methods are outlined in the following sections of this Evony Dragon Guide.

Feeding Dragons in Evony

Feeding Dragons is the only way to upgrade the level of a Dragon. Each time they are leveled up, their base attributes and buffs are improved. Dragons can be fed with Materials, Resources, Dragon Coins, Gems, Refining Stones, Medals, Badges, Sources of Life, and Research Stones. Each item gives varying amounts of EXP to the Dragon.

You will be given a selection of 6 different items that you can feed the Dragon with each day. This list can be refreshed for 2k Gems up to 10 times a day if you want to speed up the feeding process.

Dragon Talents in Evony

Each Dragon can learn 3 different talents which are essentially additional buffs they can provide your army. Talents are unlocked once certain criteria are met such as building level, Dragon level, etc. These differ for each Dragon.

After a Talent has been unlocked, you must spend Gems, Dragon Crystals, and Dragon Source Fragments to learn it and upgrade its level. These can be upgraded up to a maximum level of 40.

The third and final talent that a Dragon learns is known as an Active Talent. These are activated in the options menu and are only active for a certain time with a subsequent 24-hour cooldown. Buffs gained from Dragon Talents are outlined in the table below.

Dragon	Talent 1	Talent 2	Talent 3
Celtic Demon	Ranged Attack Ranged HP	Ranged Attack Wounded Rate	Research Speed Construction Speed
Jawzahr	Ranged Attack Mounted HP	In-city Ranged Attacks In-city Mounted Attack	Healing Speed Hospital Capacity
Fafnir	Siege Attack Siege HP	Marching Mounted Attack March Speed	Training Speed Healing Speed
Norway Ridge	Ground Attack Ground HP	Marching Ground HP Enemy Ground HP	Troop Attack Decrease Defense
Thebes	Siege Attack Siege Defense	In-city Siege Attack In-city Ground HP	In-city Troop HP Hospital Capacity
Nidhogg	Mounted Attack Mounted HP	Ranged Attack Mounted Attack	Attacking Siege Attack Attacking Ranged Attack March Size
Ladon	Ranged Attack Ranged Defense	Ranged Attack Enemy Siege Attack	Enemy Ground HP Enemy Ground Attack Enemy Mounted HP Enemy Mounted Attack
Amaterasu	Ground HP Ground Defense	Marching Ground Attack March Size	Attacking Mounted Attack Attacking Ground Attack Enemy Ranged Attack Enemy Siege Attack
Colchian	Siege Attack Siege HP	Siege Attack Mounted HP	Troop HP Death Survival
Ziz	Mounted Attack Mounted Defense	Mounted Attack Siege Attack	Troop Attack Enemy HP

Refining Dragons in Evony

Dragons can be refined to add 4 additional buffs to them, much in the same way as General Equipment. The maximum amount that each attribute can be refined to depends on the Dragon and can be summarized as follows in this Evony Dragon Guide.

Dragon	Max Refine
Celtic Demon	15%
Jawzahr	15%
Fafnir	15%
Norway Ridge	20%
Thebes	20%
Nidhogg	25%
Ladon	25%
Amaterasu	25%
Colchian	25%
Ziz	25%

Across 4 attributes this can quickly build into a big difference between Dragons clearly marking out some as more premium than others. Refining can either be conducted through Gems Cultivation or Badge Refining. Gems Cultivation will cost 400 Gems and 50 Refining Stones each time, while Badge Refine will cost 5 Badges and 50 Refining Stones each time.
