Master discussion & information thread for the Dragon Hearts feature, added to Empires and Puzzles in Version 78. Commend Dragons You can gain Dragon Hearths by commending Dragons after they are fully ascended and leveled up. To commend a Dragon select a dispensable Dragons that you want to consume. When you have collected enough Dragon Hearts you automatically get a reward. Commending Dragons follow similar rules as leveling Dragons. Commending higher rarity Dragons earns you more Dragon Hearts but costs more resources. Dragon Hearts progress is shared among all Dragons. You need 5000 Dragon Hearts to get rewards, which is a Legendary Dragon Token in Beta. Commending can be started from fully leveled dragon regardless of rarity by clicking on the Commend button in an opened Dragon’s card. Fish required is required for each selected Dragon, which is different per rarity and leveling state. If you have enough Fish, then you can commend enough dragons to get multiple rewards. The usual autofill option is available here too. Input Dragon / Heats Received / Fish required

This topic incorporates elements from articles published on the old forum. A few elements have been added. Thanks to the players who contributed to these previous articles: Solemnwolf, Guvnor, Yelnats24 Thanks to the players who helped update and proofread this thread: Fox, Maryj, Heyalexa 1. Damage Calculation Author: SolemnWolf Date: May 2018 After several months of statistical analysis of Raid and Alliance War battles, the conclusion is clear: **damage can be estimated using an Attack/Defense ratio combined with a power function.** A. The Formula The general estimation for damage follows this equation: B. Key Variables & Adjustments Damage ≈ 100 x ( θ x Att / Def ) ^ 1.35 Tile damage is divided by three The defense of the team managed by the AI is increased by 20% (certainly only concerns PvP fights) θ is a random parameter between exp(-.5)=0.606 and exp(.5)=1.649. C. Analysis & Observations While the game's exact internal algorithm remains hidden, these estimates proved reliable across 1,047 studied cases. Here are the strategic takeaways: The "Compression" Threshold - If Attack < Defense: Damage is "compressed." Tiles will generally deal between 1 and 33 damage, while Special Skills and defender hits range between 1 and 100. - If Attack > Defense: Damage scales significantly with no known maximum. This explains the "plateau" feeling on the Map or against Titans. Once your heroes evolve enough for their Attack to surpass the enemy Defense, the difficulty drops sharply. Multi-Color Stacking Bringing multiple heroes of the same color only increases tile damage. This is calculated by summing the Attack stats of all heroes of that color before applying the formula. Strategic Optimization Defense reduction (debuffing the enemy) is mathematically more effective than increasing your own Attack. The Ultimate Combo: Combining defense debuffs with attack buffs produces a devastating exponential effect on total damage. D. Documents Watch SpyCenturion's explanatory video on damage calculation (November 2019): 2. Critical Damage Original Author: Guvnor March 2020 Updated: January 2026 Critical damage is the most powerful lever to boost your offensive output without relying solely on your raw attack stat. A. What is a Critical Hit? A critical hit is an amplified attack. Since the 2025-2026 updates, they apply to three distinct categories: Normal Attacks: Includes tile damage (shields) when attacking and "Slash Attacks" from defenders. Mega-Minions: Unlike standard small minions, Mega-Minions now inherit the ability to land critical hits. Specific Special Skills: Historically excluded, some recent heroes possess skills capable of triggering critical hits directly. B. Multiplier and Base Odds Base Chance: Since January 2025, all heroes benefit from a 10% base critical hit rate. The Multiplier: A critical hit applies a 2.0x multiplier to the base damage (doubling the impact). Strong Hit (Elemental): A 200 damage hit will become 300. Weak Hit: A 50 damage hit will become 150. Weak Spot (Titans): Hitting a Titan's weak spot guarantees a 100% critical chance. C. Sources to Increase Critical Chance Special Skills (Active Buffs) Many heroes apply a temporary bonus to the team via the activation of their special skill as: Motsognir: +55% chance. Char'kai C1: +44% chance. Melia: +36% chance. Passives (including Family Bonuses) These bonuses are intrinsic to the heroes or their group. They are added to your stats without requiring the activation of a special skill: Untold Tales 1 (Abyss/Coral): Passives that increase the critical rate based on specific combat conditions. Wonderland & Avalon Families: Passive critical rate bonus based on the number of family members present in the team. 2025 HOTM Family: Direct and permanent critical rate increase for relevant allies. Special Case: Outlaw Family (Langshian) This family features a unique mechanic: their special skills have their own chance to trigger critical hits, which then deal +50% additional damage compared to a standard critical hit. Troops & Emblems Troops: Only certain troops grant a critical bonus. This is notably the case for 5-Star Troops (Legendary), which offer a massive +15% bonus, as well as specific 4-star "Critical" type troops. Emblem Grid: Certain specific nodes add +2% or +4%. D. Critical Damage in the Damage Calculation Essentially every normal "hit" that is successful (i.e. not reflected or misses) has a check done on it first to see if "Critical Damage" will apply. Essentially an "If" statement with a "Yes" & "No" outcome; the "roll" for critical damage is governed (like everything else) by RNG using your cumulative applying Critical Chance. If the outcome of the "Does Critical Damage Apply?" question is "Yes" the damage calculation essentially becomes: ▼ Normal Damage Calculation for Reference 3. Talent Optimization Guide: HP vs. Defense Original Author : Yelnats24 (may,2019) The objective is to determine which talent node to choose to maximize a hero's survival. Please note that this calculation is intended to find the optimal balance between Defense and HP. While the ratio maximizes raw durability, it is not a mandatory rule: depending on the hero's specific role, their position in your defense team, or a deliberate choice to over-stack one stat for tactical reasons, you may choose to deviate from this path. Using the durability formula derived from standard damage calculations: The ideal balance point (crossover point) is reached when your Defense stat equals 0.675 times your HP. Illustration by calculation: To make it simpler, let just say: a = defense b = hp c = durability d = total point c = (d - 2a) × a^1.35 c = (d x a^1.35) - (2 × a^2.35) We have c as a function of a, to find what a result in maximum c, we use derivative: 1.35d x a^(1.350-1) - (2.35 × 2) × a^(2.35-1) = 0 1.35d × a^0.35 - 4.7 × a^1.35 = 0 1.35d × a^0.35 = 4.7 × a^1.35 (1.35d × a^0.35) / 4.7 = a^1.35 a^1.35 / a^0.35 = (1.35d x a^0.35) / (4.7 × a^0.35 a = (1.35/4.7) × d b = d - 2a b = d - (2 × 1.35 / 4.7) × d b = (2/4.7) × d675 a /b = (1.35/4.7) × d / (2/4.7) × d = 0.675 A. The Mathematical Logic In the talent tree, a standard choice is between +36 HP or +18 Defense. This means a defense point "costs" twice as much as an HP point in terms of allocation. By using differential calculus to maximize the durability function under this point constraint, we derive the following golden rule: Priority to Defense: If your current defense is lower than 0.675 times your HP, the Defense node is more cost-effective. Priority to HP: If your current defense is higher than 0.675 times your HP, the HP node becomes more advantageous. B. Proof by Simulation To verify this theory, let’s compare three hero configurations with different point distributions: Configuration A (The Optimum): With 675 Defense and 1000 HP (exact ratio of 0.675), the calculated durability is 660.02. Configuration B (Defense-Oriented): Taking 18 extra defense points but losing 36 HP (693 Def / 964 HP), durability drops to 659.27. Configuration C (HP-Oriented): Taking 36 extra HP but losing 18 defense points (657 Def / 1036 HP), durability drops to 659.28. The result is clear: Configuration A, which respects the 0.675 ratio, offers the best survival. This proves that Small Giant's balancing (+18 Def for +36 HP) is mathematically consistent. C. Special Cases: Defense Team and % Bonuses The Defense Team Bonus (+20% Defense): This bonus applied by the AI does not change the ideal ratio. Mathematically, it acts as a multiplying constant (1.2^{1.35} ≈ 1.279), meaning it increases the durability of all heroes by 27.9% without shifting the 0.675 crossover point. Concrete Example with Boldtus Boldtusk naturally has high defense. Depending on the chosen talent paths: An HP-oriented path (Ratio 0.640) results in a durability of 1115.14. The balanced path (Ratio 0.674) results in the maximum durability of 1116.03. A path too heavily oriented toward defense (Ratio 0.710) brings durability back down to 1115.22. Important Note: This specific 0.675 crossover point applies only because an HP node provides exactly double the points of a Defense node.

Credit by PlayForFun This a weekly competition running on weekdays among players, where you can perform maximum 5 Raids with specific restrictions, which uses a special energy. 1. Overall Process for the Tournament Raid Tournaments have 3 phases: Preparation Phase that lasts for 24 hours. During the preparation phase you join the up coming Tournament and prepare your defense team. You can only use defense teams that match the event rules. Battle Phase that lasts for five days. The Battle Phase is divided to Five Battle Days where you have five attacks available for each Battle Day. You can only use attack teams that match the event rules. Reward Phase that lasts two days. Your final score will determine your reward tier. You get rewards only from the highest reward tier that you belong to. 2. How Attacking Works Other than restrictions on heroes/troops and Special Rules, the Raids themselves in Weekly Raid Tournaments work the same way as regular Raids. Each day, you'll be able to attack up to 5 teams. The flags used for Raid Tournaments are separate from regular Raid flags. NOTE: Kills in Raid Tournaments count toward your Wanted: Heroes Raid Chest, so Raid Tournaments also effectively give you extra flags to potentially help fill your chest. One notable difference to Regular Raids — you can’t reroll. For the whole of the Tournament, you have 4 "Lives." Each time you lose a Raid, you lose one life. The lives do not reset across days of the Tournament. Once you'd lost 4 times at any point during the Tournament, you are out. If you choose, you can pay some gems to reset your lives after 4 losses — but your score and ranking would still be lowered because of the losses. Paying to reset your lives does NOT give you an advantage from the Raids you've already fought. It simply allows you to continue using your normal 5 flags per day and not be "out" of the Tournament. There is no way to buy additional flags. So everyone ultimately had the same number of maximum flags to use for attacks during the Tournament. The only thing gems allow you to do is continue playing if you've used up all of your lives. 3. Matchmaking for Attacks As of the Third Raid Tournament, initial matchmaking was based on your Top 5 strongest heroes that qualified for the Tournament's rarity and elemental restrictions. This was slightly amended as of the Fourth Raid Tournament: > The difficulty of the opponents reduced slightly in the beginning of tournaments. 4. Matchmaking for Defense As of the Sixth Raid Tournament, matchmaking for Defense teams was changed again: Further improvements to the distribution of attacks, especially for the top players. Keep in mind that if you're in the top, your defense team will receive more attacks. This is due to the fact that there is a small number of top defense teams that are good matches for a large number of top attackers. We try to prioritize choosing a good opponent over choosing a too easy or too difficult opponent that hasn't been attacked as much. We have also implemented a limit on how attacks count towards your Defense Grade. After the first five attacks of the day, only one attack per hour counts towards the grade. Changes to the starting difficulty of opponents your defense team faces. It is no longer based on the defense team you pick, but your best heroes that match the tournament requirements. We've brought this rule back because we want to encourage players to choose the best defense team they can, and thus provide a better challenge to their opponents. Due to the way the Team Power is calculated it was possible, for example, to pick a defense team of two fully leveled, fully ascended heroes that were on paper equal in Team Power with a full team of lower rarity heroes, but in practice that full team would be defeated in most cases. 5. Scoring Raid Tournaments are scored based on four factors: Enemies killed: The amount of enemies killed during your attack. Winning: Victorious attack will award extra points. Difficulty Bonus: Winning the attack will award points based on comparing the performance of the opponent’s defense team with the performance of your attacks. Defense Team Grade: Your defense team will receive points in the end of each Battle Day based on their performance. 6. Defense Team Grade The grades are assigned based on a percentage of wins by your Defense Team: The Defense Grade is determined based on the win percentage of your Defense Team. At the end of each Battle Day, you receive points based on your grade. | Percent Won | Grade | Points | | 60% | A | 900 | | 50% | B | 650 | | 40% | C | 500 | | 30% | D | 400 | | 0% | E | 200 | Log of past tournaments
