YMMV / Dragon Mania Legends

• Awesome Music: The battle music doesn't slouch.
  • The main island music is also very pretty and soothing.
• Follow the Leader: This is a pretty obvious clone of Dragon City, which itself is a clone of Dragonvale.
  • Currently, however, it is becoming its own game with mechanics such as dragon enchantment.
• Game-Breaker: Spring Cherries arguably have the sweetest deal of all the foods you can grow-7,500 in exchange for just waiting ONE HOUR. You can EASILY get over a hundred thousand food in a matter of weeks thanks to this.
• Most Wonderful Sound: The glorious chime that plays when you win a battle.
• Scrappy Mechanic: Tournaments can be rather frustrating. You have three days to climb to the top by beating other players. What's bad about this? To put it simply, sometimes the game just isn't on your side. For example, it doesn't recommend battles for you based on your experience level. Thus, you're sometimes expected to go up against 30+ dragons with only level 15-20 ones. Also, like the main campaign portal, it needs portal gems to fill its energy...only these portal gems can't be obtained through any means.
  • The ads. PERIOD. Suppose you're collecting gold from your habitats, or about to enter a battle, or planting food. Suddenly an ad shows up with no warning whatsoever, and nine times out of ten you click it by mistake and get forcefully redirected to your internet browser. Even worse, some of these will ALSO attempt to take you to the app store. Suddenly that The Real Cost ad morphs from terrifying to flat out annoying.
  • Dragon of the Week/Month can also be a lot of trouble. With the Week dragons, you have to use a specific pair of dragons to breed the featured one, which can be a pain if you do not have one of them. (or either of them) Or perhaps you don't have enough food to get them above level 10-20, when they'll have a more surefire chance of getting the dragon. Adding salt to the wound is the fact that once this dragon is replaced by the following week's, you can pretty much kiss it goodbye forever unless it cycles back in some other event.
  • Catching creatures in some events. They can range from barely appearing to showing up every nanosecond, making the task of capturing them quite tedious and annoying as soon you just want them to go away. And you may have to catch up to NINETY of these things.
  • Dragon's Delight Events. The idea is to make as many dragons happy as possible with the items that they want within a given time limit, and the items drop from three columns, and only the bottom-most item can be given to dragons. If you can't give any of your items to your dragons, you can either trash all items (at the cost of having to refill the machine for 30 Dorbz or Berries per column) or refresh a dragon (but a new dragon won't appear for an hour), and if you run out of the event's currency, you can do various tasks (one of which is catching creatures) or you can buy some... with real money. You can also skip dragon refresh time with gems.
  • Introduced in July 2018 are Dragon Hero events. Basically, you go through a dungeon similar to castle events, but you have to use a specific dragon. The first Hero Event, Dawn to Duskwing, required you to use the Bludgeon Dragon... which was the Dragon of the Week for the week of the event, and it was a completely new dragon, so you could have gone the whole week being unable to take part in the event due to the Random Number God not being on your side.
  • Featured Defenders in the Enchanted League. They're selected by random, with no means of changing it, so you could see a Level 16 dragon with zero stars in the featured window... and the first dragon on the map is a max-level 4-star dragon, likely leading to a Curb-Stomp Battle.
• That One Attack: Infection, one Level-6 attack of Plant Dragons, gives the same effects of Poison...but if the recipient dragon is defeated, the infection carries over to the other two dragons on your team.
  • Pretty much any dragon with a Poison-like attack can be this.
  • Storm's A Brewin', one Level 6 attack of Wind Dragons, can also be pretty annoying, able to decrease the attack power of all your dragons at once.
  • Revitalize and Stone Shield, while not attacks, can still be just as obnoxious; the former gives back opponent's health and the latter absorbs some of the damage done to the dragons.
    • Stone Shield and Dark Clouds/Storm's A Brewin' can be a nightmarish combo: your attack power has just been decreased, and now the opponent just gave their team an ability which absorbs some of the damage you can do. You might not be able to land a scratch on your opponent, and they can just do it again when either one wears off.
• That One Boss: Pretty much all of the boss dragons become this at none point or another. Especially if you're unfortunate enough to have your strongest dragons be weak against one of the boss dragon's elements.
• Ugly Cute: Some of the baby dragons look a bit wonky.
