What can beat the rush of climbing atop your dragon’s back and soaring through the clouds? How about gathering a group of friends and racing to see whose dragon is fastest? Mount your dragon and head over to Thunder Run Racing for an epic race that is guaranteed to leave your heart pounding. To guide your dragon to victory, there are a couple secrets every great racer knows: watch your dragon’s energy meter and keep an eye on the competition.
Watch Your Dragon’s Energy Meter
While speed is important to winning a race, knowing when to accelerate to full velocity can be tricky. You do not want to run into a wall or tire out your dragon just as you are hitting the home stretch, so watching your dragon’s energy meter can be the difference between victory and defeat. Slow down when making sharper turns and accelerate coming out of it if there is a stretch of straight pathways. Also, knowing when to push your dragon to speed up is crucial. If other racers are gathered in a group and firing at each other, it may be wise to hang back, wait for an opening, then speed past to safety.
Keep an Eye on the Competition
An experienced veteran will admit that they are not always going to be in first place for the entire race. If this happens, it is important to keep an eye on the competition. A good way to do this is to fly above them to see what their flying style is and identify any patterns in how they race. Once you have analyzed your rivals and figured out their strengths and weaknesses, you can make a move to pull ahead and seal your victory.
These strategies will help any racer, but arguably the most important quality a skilled racer possesses is a strong bond with their dragon. Trust your dragon and simply guide it with your experience and tactics. If you know your dragon’s personality, strengths, and weaknesses as well as you know the raceway, you will have a greater chance for success.
