How to train your dragon (Leveling up costs)

Upgrading your dragon is the most expensive action in the game but also one of the biggest power upgrades you can get your army. Upgrading both dragon level and its skills is paramount to a strong army. Below you see a table for upgrading dragon and info on the cost in gold and time for dragon leveling.

Upgrade: Level up your Dragon

In total we need a whopping 1 billion and 290 million gold to max out our Dragon. This is incredibly hard to get whilst also maintaining boosted Immortals (sometimes in multiple marches). As of the brand new patch 2.6 from July 2023, we now have level 55 as the new maximum level. With the increase from 50 to 55 we are going to need a lot of additional gold! Let’s dive on in to see how much you are going to need for a dragon at max level.

Please take note, that while the information of all dragon levels from 50-55 are provided with all the appropriate buffs (Castle skin, Lord Talents and City position) the lower levels are not always 100% accurate as they are not all provided with the entire buff selection.

Holy and shadow dragon is more expensive

Take note that the holy dragon and the shadow dragon are more expensive to upgrade than the rest of the elements. In fact, the gold required for a holy or shadow dragon level is precisely one increment more than the other elements. As such, a holy or shadow dragon to level 54 costs the same as any other elemental to level 55 as evident below.

The Holy or Shadow dragon at max level is incredibly expensive at nearly 100M gold and 10 days WITH all buffs active.

Difference that buffs make

The buffs make a big difference, especially the gold reduction from the Lord Talents are massive to your gold expenses. But all the buffs, Castle Skin and Mayor position make a big difference. See the below example.
