What happens if you reach lap 5 in Dragon City?

Does this mean you don’t have to reach lap 15 but still be in first in any lap <15 to win the heroic dragon? Just need clarification from DragonCity

The best way to collect gold is by having more habitats. Each time you collect gold you have a chance to collect an item! You also have a higher chance to collect gold when your habbitat is full of gold. This is visibile when the gold icon is no longer see-through. Collecting gold is one of the easiest items to collect for the Heroic Race. Having more habitats = more chances to get items from collecting gold.

Another way to quickly increase the amount of gold you can collect is to power up your dragons You can save your powerups for the tasks in the heroic race that require you to power up dragons. But you should prioritise dragons that give the most gold per minute
Note that once a dragons level increases above level 10 - the increase in gold / level halves. Your rarest dragons usually will pay the most gold per minute.

You can also try and focus on habitats like Terra habitats which get full quicker, but its not always the best stratergy, because its not great once the heroic race ends!

Best way to collect food for Heroic Race tasks?

The best way to collect food is by buying the cheapest option over and over again. Each time you collect food you have a chance to collect an item,
so buy the 50 gold option in every food farm and do it fastest! You have a higher chance to get items the more food purchased
but the bigger foods takes much longer to grow and claim. Thats why its advised to always use the 50 gold option called "Backyard Garderner". Collecting food more often = more chances to get items from collecting food.

If you still really want to grow large food options, then maybe consider buying 1 very expensive food option, that takes 9, 12 or 24 hours. Meanwhile you can use every other farm to cycle the 50 gold food collection.

Best way to breed dragons for Heroic Race tasks?

The best way to breed dragons is to use Terra + Terra. It may take many tries, and failed attempts, but its the quickest way to get multiple items. once you've bred the Terra + Terra dragons

- you can sell the egg after hatch time (if you dont need hatching items)
- or place them on Terra habitats, they can be powered up later too.

For each item, expect to breed up to 30-40 times. it takes a lot of attempts! The alternative is to use the slower way with long breeds to garantee an item, but other players might overtake you while you do this.

Long term goal: Try to unlock the 3 available breeding areas when they become availble via gems from completing rewards / surveys (this can take a long time - or you could spend money, but that is not a great use of money). Breeding more often = more chances to get items from breeding.

If you manage to unlock all of the breeding buildings, and all slots on the hatchery, place them all near each other
(this will be near the second island due to the breeding sanctuary)

Best way to hatch dragons for Heroic Race tasks?

The best way to hatch dragons is to use Terra + Terra that you've bred. Again, it will take many trys, and failed attempts, but its the quickest way to get multiple items. For each item, expect to hatch up to 30-40 times. it takes a lot of attempts. Otherwise the slower way is to use other long eggs to garantee an item, but other players might overtake you. Try to unlock the 3 available breeding areas AND upgraded hatchery (5 eggs at once) when they become availble.

If you manage to unlock all of the breeding buildings, and all slots on the hatchery, place them all near each other
(this will be near the second island due to the breeding sanctuary)

Best way to feed dragons for Heroic Race tasks?

The best way to feed dragons is to use the Terra dragons you hatched in the previous missions. But if you didnt use this tactic, then another option is to power up other dragons that are aleardy on low level. the lower the level of dragon the less food it costs - but it takes more luck to get items. I find powering up level 1 dragons to level 6 takes little food, but can give 5-6 items.

One thing I do outside of Heroic Races is leave all my newly aquired dragons at level 1 - and only power up dragons when the Heroic Race is on.
This is a great way to complete the task, because these dragons needed powering up anyway

Best way to Battle Dragons in the Heroic Race?

The best way to battle dragons is to set yourself a timer reminding you when the next battle is. Use the information above to see which battle will take the longest. A popular tactic is to use your free spin when you have the longest battle to compelte. Using the free spin garantees at least 1 task will be auto-completed, doing this against the longest battle saves the most time and is most efficient.
