Suggestions for winning DragonVale Races
DragonVale’s new Dragon Races are a great way to earn extra cash, food, XP, and even gems, not to mention just a great time waster if you’re looking to avoid what you SHOULD be doing. But sometimes it can be difficult matching up the right dragon for the right race. So here’s a list of Dragon suggestions for various races that I have found to deliver 1st place results multiple times. Of course, you will still need a little luck with competitors and decent finger-tapping skills to hit the boosts, but I can only do so much.
Dramoria: Steel
Electric Skies: Sonic, Butterfly
Rime or Reason: Snow
Shimmering Faultline: Any Gem Dragon (Pearl, Emerald, Ruby, etc.) Rainbow, Gold, Moon, Leap Year
Ulster Meadows: Tree, Moss, Clover
Year of the Dragon Race: Panlong Dragon, Rainbow

I use a scoria dragon. Here’s my list of dragons I use 4 races –
Shimmering faultline- crystal dragon
Marshlands- moss dragon
Rime or reason- snow dragon
Ulster meadows- tree dragon
Year of the dragon- obsidian dragon
Electric skies- sonic dragon
Dramoria- mine dragon
Blast furnace- scoria dragon
Cherry road- lava dragon
There’s better dragons to use for some of the races but these do perfectly well for me. I hope I’ve helped .
Here are my lists:
Shimmering Faultine-Crystal
Year or the dragon-obsidian
Ulster meadows-forest/tree
Electric skies-hail
Dramoria- lichen
Blast furnace-blazing/firefly/brass
Marshlands-seaweed

Every1 wins every time
That is my exact list every time
Omg thx so much electric skies with hail, 1st place and prize 1 gem

they dont do codes anymore becaues new appstore regulations i think that i stupid
What about the radient run? I’ll do it now and post my results. Level 8 obsidian = 4th place, I’ll retry
You people all realize that if you use an epic dragon, like my Blue Moon dragon, then it’ll wokr? Try it.
Thanks so much
You can also use a crystal and… what’s that other dragon?for the shimmering faultline
Quake dragon also for shimmering faultline and for Dramoria can use mine.
And on year of the dragon when I didn’t have a panlong dragon I used to use lava and win 1st place so that’s a pretty good suggestion.
And on cherry road if you don’t have those (I don’t) you can you a lot of other dragons like- poison, flower, tree, moss, lava, and I wouldn’t recommend it but also obsidian. But with these you still might not win…

Poison Dragon for Year of the Dragon Race all the way!.. GC: C007dudz
I have had excellent luck with Pepper Dragon in the Year of the Dragon race
Anyone else like me bummed about bf switching out the prize wheel for a chest with less valuable prizes? Especially the food prizes.
So true. The wheel is much better.
I agree I got about halfway of finishing the Perch of Kairos and then the other half had the chest instead of the wheel and it took me FOREVER to get the other half but at least I got Kairos I mean seriously right?
Im still on my first step on getting him and i have gotten every piece but the one i need! I have been racing and searching for what seems like 100 years!
I never used the wheel.but I don’t like the chests I did manage the chronolith and the time claw in one day
Yes I was gutted coz u hardly get owe in it and u get no gems
I hate the new chest it takes the suspense away
I use the obsiden dragon for year of the Dragon first place every time
For 50k coins, all first place got me was 925 food items. Rip off. Every victory since the treasure chest implementation has been basically less value than paying for the prize outright.
You can get gems so its not too bad in 2 days I had kairos and 2mil coins
I do year of the dragon with amber and win yay
Getting xp is like loosing š fist its fun winning but then the fun turns with the bad 1. price…33.000 xp…BAD š
Realy bad price got it like 4 times now as 1. price…now THAT sucks. Havent getting any gems but food DG and XP
BTW : š crome gets me 1. price on blast furnist every time just to bad i want DG and gems but gets XP
What does one do with the XP you win in the races? I have no idea! Any suggestions?
CO is for leveling up, without CO, you would never go to higher levels and unlock things. SO is also earned after buying things, getting silver and gold medals in the colostrum, harvesting food, completing challenges, and getting dragons.
its not CO giggybiggy its xp
I just got the big blue wow he is so cool ! Im talking about Kairos…migth have got it before if i had done some reading on this web XD
I was lucky enorf to get the BlueMoon dragon with firefly and storm just 5 Hours before the deadline its is very good ind year of the dragon elektrik skyes and dramoria where i dont have the rigth dragon fore as it is right now.
Also litchen is good for the marsland. š
If you a gonna race you should bould the Kairos thing the ekstra parts you get ind the race that you already have you kan trade to 150.000 DG or 5000 treats or 150.000 XP.
Best Regards
I have never lost a “year of the dragon” race with the river dragon. Try it…
Hm my word correcter is spelling worse than mĆ© š i ment chance the poisen dragon out with tree or flower when it starts loosing Ć³n cherry Road use flower or lava gets it every time š Best raws to you all
ADD ME ON GAME CENTER FOR GEM TRADES!!
MY GAME CENTER ID IS: justkeepswimming19
The faster is Apocalyose. No one can win against Apocalypse.
Quake dragon for Shimmering Faultline works perfectly. It covers all elements so its quite speedy all race š
Here’s what I use:
Ulster meadows: Moss
Year of the Dragon: Scorch
Rime or reason: Lichen
Electric skies: Cactus
Shimmering Faultline: Opal or Crystal
Cherry road: Moss
Blast Furnace:Forge
Dramoria:Steel
My list is:
Ulster meadows: paper, tree, moss, clover, or forest
Year of the dragon: panlong, firework, and any other hybrid dragon including two of these elements: water, earth, fire, and air
Rime or reason: snow or blizzard
Electric skies: thunder, sonic, or butterfly
Shimmering Faultline: crystal or quake
Cherry road: paper, sakurai, or any dragon with two of these elements: earth, plant, and fire
Blast furnace: forge or brass
Dramoria: steel or bearded
Note: you can also use any epic dragon for any race!
I’ve found similar combinations work for me as well. I just got the metal dragon so I haven’t won dramoria or Blast furnace yet, but it’s fun trying different combinations to see which one works. I have found the Paper dragon works really well for Year of the Dragon and Cherry Road, he’s also won a few of the blast furnace races for me but not too many. Shimmering faultline, I ALWAYS use the quake dragon, the crystal dragon hasn’t been as effective at getting that coveted first place spot.
For Dramoria use the steel dragon. Right now, the name of the dragon escapes me but it is under the metal heading and has 2 heads for the Blast furnace. I always win using these.

I find that the gift dragon works well for ‘year of the dragon.’
i use blizzard for rime or reason and win every single time. ive even won a few races against the snow dragon in rime or reason
I didn’t have too many hybrid dragons available for Year of the Dragon, but I did manage to make a Salamander, and increase him to level 7. He won that race easily.
I use the dusk dragon and it wins every time š
Marshland: Lichen
Ulster Meadows: Forest
Rime or Reason: Ghost
Shimmering Faultline: Crystal
Year of the Dragon: Nosfratu
These are my main dragon picks for these races about 95% of the time I won with them all gold.

thank you!
How did I not know this existed before? Thank you so much for the help- I have gotten all but one of the pieces to the statue in an hour! The last one will probably make itself difficult . . .
Can you give any suggestions for the new dark and light races that have been added? You rock Macenstein. š
For the Dark race, I raced my watch dragon. Won by a mile.
For the Light race, I used my howl dragon. Didn’t come in first, but from my race I think the regular dark dragon could work.
Radiant run is the only one that continues to kick my butt. I use water/lightning like mentioned above. Neither are consistent.
well, for me I got 2nd in radient run with a level 8 purple snowflake dragon (available in the great dragon fair prize tent but I only got 250 food
Halloween’s Trick dragon for Cherry Road, wins by miles š
What about darkened Dash?
Are you not going to update this, now there are a lot more races for Gaia.
What is the racing dragon for the new shaded shimmy
Got some new faces shaded Shimmy=dark and fire, I won with fire dragon
Faridat Cup= lightning
Flickering Canyon= plant
Root Rush, haven’t played yet
Hope these help
The new Gaia races need epic dragons to win more often but we don’t know their elements.
I can’t get the race track to work. All I can get is the tutorial, even if I click on the race and not practice. š Is it my level, I’m at level 18.
What about Thunderclap Trap? It’s Lightning and Earth elements.
What about Charred Orchard (plant, fire, earth)? I usually use Sakura & win, but I am using Sakura elsewhere & need an alternative. Can anyone help me out?
Prism Path?
How about Undergloom?
Verulean Highlands? Lightning & Air. What best to use?
Anyone know which dragon to use for Frostbitten Freestyle? It’s elements are fire and cold, but I have so many options, I don’t know which one to use!
I use my trick dragon for cherry road and it works perfect!
Does anybody know the dragon in chilling chase?
I found out it is the acid dragon. Thank you anyways
If you have an epic dragon with one (or all) of the elements in a race, Iād suggest using it. All the other dragons with automatically be epic as well, giving you an elemental advantage and making it easier to win.
