Flight Rising is a dragon-breeding simulation game with light RPG elements. If you've ever wanted to play a Dragon Cave-esque game with more interaction, I wholeheartedly recommend Flight Rising.

To help get you started, here are some tips and tricks you can use to leverage your new dragon clan!
The first order of business on creating your account at Flight Rising is choosing your elemental flight. Your choice of flight is permanent and cannot be changed, so be careful! There are a total of eleven flights in Flight Rising, and your choice of flight will affect a few things:
The second order of business is creating your starter dragon, which is done after you create your account for Flight Rising. There are four starter breeds to choose from, and you can modify your starter dragon's colors, breed, and gender as you see fit. This is the only time in the entire game that you will have this much freedom in modifying a dragon, so take your time!
Here's a small summary of the four starter breeds:
While I mentioned stat preferences for Guardians and Faes, it is important to note that the actual difference in stats is extremely minimal. If inclined, you could make a Fae with Guardian-like stats and vice versa. So, pick whichever breed you most like. Once you create your starter dragon, you will be notified of another dragon joining your nest. This dragon is completely randomized (except for their gender, which will be the opposite of your starter dragon's gender) by the game and will be your progenitor's mate.
After that, the tutorial will nudge you to the Nesting Grounds to pair up your two dragons.
But, before that, here is what make your progenitors unique:
Essentially, your progenitors are going to be a part of your dragon clan for the duration of your game time in Flight Rising.
Here is the full process of how to perform a dragon trade with another player, given that I didn't know how to do so when I started either, and a few other new players have asked me how to trade as well. It's really simple, but not completely intuitive:
There you have it!
Breeding is a pretty simple affair (at least in terms of player input; the variety in your progeny can get quite interesting, to say the least) in Flight Rising. Basically, you choose one eligible male and one eligible female, press the Breed button and the female lays a clutch of 1 to 5 eggs. You then have to incubate your eggs once a day until they're ready to hatch, at which time you click the Hatch button which will now be visible and voila! You now have between 1 and 5 new hatchlings with colors similar to their parents and the breed of one of their parents, chosen at random.
Scroll to ContinueAfter the act of breeding, both parents suffer a breeding cooldown, during which they cannot mate. For starter dragons this cooldown is 15 days. Rarer breeds have higher cooldowns.
Now then, some tips and notes about breeding:
All dragons have a stat called Energy, which holds a total of 50 points. As time passes and/or your dragons fight in the Coliseum, their Energy will drop. You'll want to feed them from the Dragon Lair menu to keep them topped up. As mentioned in the parentheses in the section to the left, you get a gathering turn bonus if you keep your clan's Energy up consistently for at least three days in a row!
I'm not sure how dragons that eat multiple types of food decide what they want to eat, but they don't consume much food, and you start with 50 units of each type of food, so this shouldn't be a problem for a while.
Something that takes less than two minutes every day, but can get you many neat items and food is gathering. You get a total of ten gathering turns a day (+5 more if you keep your clan's energy level at 80% for more than three days in a row, but more on that in the next section) to gather food or dig/scavenge for items (or a combination of both). You'll want to make sure you have ample food stores to keep your dragon's energy up, but it's also a good idea to try to find items as well. Who knows what you could find?
Note that all gathered items and food are sent to your Hoard. To convert your food items into tangible food, go to the Food subsection of the Hoard, hit Select All, and then press Convert.
You're going to need lots and lots of treasure to buy battle stones for your coliseum or to buy food, apparel, and other niceties for your clan. The easiest way to gain treasure is to play one of the various mini-games Flight Rising has available over at the Fairgrounds. As of the time of this writing there are only two, but more will be made available as content gets added to the game.
Another way to get some easy treasure is to sell your spare hatchlings to other players via the Auction House or your Hoard items through the same.
If you're like me, Flight Rising probably got you hooked thanks to its RPG aspects. Mainly, I'm talking about the Coliseum. In the Coliseum you can form a team of up to three dragons and battle enemies that are roughly level-appropriate.
Flight Rising's battle system isn't the most refined of all time, but you do have to consider that it's a simulation first and an RPG second. Even so, the battle system has some intricacies that I'd like to talk about.
Basically, each element counters certain other elements and is countered likewise by yet other elements in a complex rock-paper-scissors interaction. Given that I'm from the Water flight, I know that Water attacks deal double damage to Earth monsters/dragons but only half damage to Ice monsters/dragons. Thus, if you're seriously considering a career in the Coliseum, you'll want to preferably have dragons from three different elements so they can cover each others weaknesses and attack the enemy group's weaknesses in turn.
However, you won't have a third battler for a few days since you only start with two dragons. What I personally have done is make my Guardian tanky with high VIT/DEF/MND and my Fae the spell damage dealer with really high QCK and INT. Given her stats, she'll also work well as a healer once I get a third dragon into my coliseum party.
So, how does the Flight Rising battle system work? Well:
Well, if you're even a casual player of RPG games, chances are that I'm not speaking in French to you right now. But, let us assume you are. Don't worry, Flight Rising's stat system is pretty clear cut.
First of all, we have the dragon's Energy level as mentioned previously. You want to keep this topped off if at all possible. Then, we have the dragon's combat stats, which are used solely at the Coliseum, and are as follows:

This is in addition to Level, which is a quick reminder of your dragon's overall combat capacity, and Hit Points. If a dragon's hit points are reduced to zero, they are knocked out.
Breath is also a stat, but it's always at a 120 unit limit, so there's not much to talk about there. It starts at zero at the start of a Coliseum run, is used to power your advanced attacks, and is reset once you leave battle.
Your dragons start with a certain amount of stat points, which are distributed in a certain way depending on the dragon's breed. On level-up you get stat points to add to any of your stats. Here are some pointers:
This is just how I would (and probably am going to) build my Coliseum party. Find out what works for you and work from there. These are guidelines, not commands.
Well, I think I'll wrap it up at this point. If you still have any questions about the game, don't hesitate to visit the game's official forums. If I'm unable to answer your most pressing questions, I'm sure someone else over there will be able to do so!
Thank you very much for reading! You guys (and girls/women/female members of the human race included) are the reason why I spend so much time writing quality articles!
Until next time, take care and have fun!

Just discovered flight rising a few months ago and likely timed it perfectly to an open registration period. I must admit I haven't started playing seriously yet but I think using these tips its finally time!

Brilliant and very addictive
Darrin Perez (author) from Puerto Rico on July 15, :
Yep, free to join and play. :D
I'm Winterfate on there as well :)
Jessica Peri from United States on July 15, :
This looks fun and a little too addicting. Is it free to join and play? I probably shouldn't get caught up in another online game but I absolutely love dragons!
Darrin Perez (author) from Puerto Rico on July 08, :
Hey there Charizard! I get that question a lot. But, I have to say probably not. There's not much reason (except for perhaps Aversa and Walhart, thanks to their unique skills that they can pass down if they marry MU), in my opinion. You get them right before the final mission and they're meant more as army filler than actual units to use.
Thanks for reading! :D

Winterfate, Im a big fan of your fire emblem awakening character reviews. Are you going to be reviewing the characters from the spotpass paralougues, Gangrel, Walhart, Emmeryn, Aversa, and Priam?
Darrin Perez (author) from Puerto Rico on July 07, :
Ahh, thank you for pointing that out! (In addition, each account only starts with 50 treasure now).
Both of those changes are thanks to people abusing multiple accounts to leverage the in-game economy with extra hatchlings. :/
Jessi on July 07, :
Not sure how old this is, can't be that old since the game has only been out for a month, but you must no longer get a free Boon of Fertility cuz neither my son nor I got one when creating accounts. :( My first clutch was only 2 eggs but my son's is 5 eggs so rather disappointing.
