Welcome to your Dragon Empire. While many features are similar to ones that we are used to there are also some unique ones as well. In this guide, we will cover your Dragon Empire and include all the information you need to know as you work on your setup.
Stronghold Level 170
Stronghold level 170 has arrived in the Dragon Dimension. With new levels, we are seeing increases in both the stats and benefits that are provided by buildings as we level up.
To obtain new levels you will need Building Blueprint to level 170.

A Dragon War Dimension Empire Walkthrough
For this guide, we will be walking through your Empire and exploring each building and its functions. Some will be familiar, others may be new, but hopefully, we will be able to give you a basic understanding of what is going on in your Dragon Empire. While we will not cover what is generally referenced as “special buildings” in this guide we do have guides that cover those buildings in-depth and we will link you to those at the bottom of this article.
Stronghold
Let’s Start with the Stronghold. This is the central point in your Dragon War Dimension Empire and brings with it some great benefits. Currently, you are able to max your Stronghold Level at 160.
Stronghold Benefits
There are multiple benefits you receive from your Stronghold. Early on in the game your Stronghold being leveled will open other buildings you can have that give more benefits and have more functions. For example, you are not able to build a Forge, until your Stronghold has reached level 10. Beyond giving you access to other buildings your Stronghold also gives some other pretty important benefits including:
- Increases the number of Alliance Helps you are able to receive on functions such as construction, research, and healing.
- Increases your March Size
- At Level 80 you receive a Dragon Armor Break Boost that helps you kill off the Dragons of your opponent.
The Academy
The Academy is where you complete research. Research is constantly expanding and our Academy recently underwent some updates to better organize our Research trees. All of these trees are now organized into the following categories:
- Economics
- Crafting
- Hero
- Combat
- Dragon Dimension Rewards
- Draconic Combat
Research is one of the best places to find stats in the Dragon Dimension and so the benefits you receive from your Academy are integral to helping as you dive into your research.
Dragon Academy Benefits
The Academy gives two important benefits to be aware of when you are leveling:
- Research Speed- this is going to help you be able to use fewer speed ups when researching
- Enemy Troop Attack Debuff (Max at Level 110: 65,500%)
Hall of War
The Hall of War comes with its own set of abilities. This is where your rallies gather and leave from within your Empire, and we all love a good rally. The War is led by the Hero of the Player who initiated the Rally. By increasing the level of your Hall of War, you can increase the number of troops you can send in a given Rally at a time.
Hall of War Benefits
There are several Hall of War Benefits that we want to focus on and we will list them here.
- Increased Rally Capacity (Max at level 110: 4.2M)
- Control Point Troop Health Bonus (Max at Level 110: 50,500%)
- Control Point Rally Troop Attack Bonus (Max at level 110: 70,500%)
- Troop Attack Bonus While Occupying the Control Point (Max at Level 110: 70,500%)
Embassy
The Embassy allows you to get reinforcements from your fellow Alliance members. The owners of reinforcement Troops pay for their own upkeep. This is an important building that helps you to defend against attacks! Increasing the level of this building will allow you to get more reinforcements from your fellow Alliance members.
Embassy Benefits
Your Embassy provides a few benefits that are helpful when it comes to gameplay. This includes:
- Reinforcement Capacity
- Troop Attack Bonus
- Troop Health Bonus
Prison
The Prison does not open until Stronghold Level 15. At this point, your Hero is now able to be captured and you can capture the Heros of your Attackers. Upgrading your Prison will decrease the amount of time you need to hold your enemies Heros before being able to execute.
In addition, by holding Heros in your prison, you are able to gain additional Attack benefits based on the Level of the Prisoner. The amount of attack you are able to receive increases as your prison level increases and the level of the Hero in your prison increases with the highest boosts coming from holding a prisoner level 81+. Ultimately while these boosts are nice to have they are at max 342.5% and not one of the highest boosts you will receive. At this time the information section lists One prisoner being the max that can provide bonuses.
Altar
The Altar opens at Stronghold 20. This building works hand-in-hand with your Prison, as you cannot execute the Heros in your Prison until you have an Altar. In addition, Altar provides some great benefits when your Altar Boost is active.
Altar Benefits
Your Altar provides stats from executed Heros. However, it also has some benefits associated with the levels that are great for attackers:
- Empire Assault Attack (Max at level 110: 72,000%)
- Empire Assault Defense (Max at level 110: 80,000%)
- Empire Assault Health (Max at level 110: 46,500%)
Marketplace
Our next building is the Marketplace. This building will allow you to send resources to other Alliance Members. By leveling up your Marketplace, you can increase the amount of help you can send your fellow Alliance Member and decrease the tax that you pay when sending Help. If you like to share in the wealth, this building will be a huge help.
Cinder’s Sneaky Tip: One of the reasons I love the Marketplace is that if I am looking for an Alliance Mate, and they are not online, I can simply send a March of resources to them and follow the March! This could also be used for other… ummmm… covert missions.
Warehouse
The Warehouse protects a portion of your resources from enemy attacks. A higher-level Warehouse will protect more resources. So if you want to keep your resources safe when you are being attacked, be sure to upgrade this building.
Warehouse Benefits
In addition to providing protection for your resources, your Warehouse will also provide Enemy Troop Health Debuff, at a max level of 110 you will receive 52,500% Enemy Troop Health Debuff.
The Forge
Let’s be honest, this is my favorite building. Here is where you will combine materials and manufacture gear. You can also combine Mods here or collectibles. Leveling up the Forge will give you benefits as well, including Normal Equipment Manufacturing Cost Reduction, and at Level 20 you unlock your third accessory slot for gear.
Forge benefits
In addition, to all the gear related benefits you will also receive Enemy Troop Defense Debuff from your Forge.
Watchtower
The Watchtower warns you of all incoming Marchs targeting your Empire and your Empire’s encampments. Leveling up this building will give you further details as you progress.
Watchtower Details
The Watchtower as you upgrade it is going to give you more information when it comes to incoming Marches and more. In addition, this building will also give a Troop Defense bonus.
Barracks, Hospitals, and Villas, oh my!
Traditionally we are used to our Barracks, Hospitals, and Villas offering set stats. However, in Dragon, this is different. Barracks are where we train our troops, but here they no longer offer Health or Defense.
- Barracks give bonuses for training. By increasing the number of Barracks and the level, you can increase the number of troops you can train at once and decrease the cost.
- The Hospital no longer gives Health or Defense benefits, either. The level and number of hospitals you have, however, does control how many beds you have. If you want to set up so that more troops go to the hospital than die, you will want to build more hospitals and level them up.
- Finally, we have Villas. The Villas are still for production of Coin, but they also offer a Troop Defense Bonus. This benefit starts at Level 10 and the amount increases at each level of the Villa. You can multiply this benefit by increasing the number of Villas you have. At level 110 of your Villa, you will receive a max Troop Defense Bonus of 11,000%.
Farms, Logging Camps, Quarry, and Mine
These are where you create the rest of your resources needed to complete functions within the Dragon Realm. By increasing the level of these buildings, you can increase the number of resources that you produce. In addition, by increasing the level of these buildings, you can increase your holding capacity for these resources. If you have more resources than your Empire Capacity, your RSS buildings will stop producing.
Gymnos
The Gymnos is all about your Hero. Here this building will help you when you are leveling your Hero and when your Hero is executed. This building is essential to your Hero and your Empire stats.
Gymnos Benefits
There are several benefits you will receive from your Gymnos:
- Empire Defender Health (Max at Level 110: 50,000%)
- Empire Defender Defense (Max at Level 110: 84,000%)
- Hero XP Modifier- this increases the amount of XP earned
- Hero XP Retention- This helps you retain your XP when your Hero is executed

Regarding the troop defense benefits from villas, is the defense benefit from villas additive, more level 10 or higher villas = higher defense numbers?
so one level 10 Villa gives 0.5 Defense. If you have 2 level 10 villas you will get 1 defense. The more villas you add and the higher you level them the more Defense you will get.
Are the troop defense gains from the villas additive. More villas = more troop defense
If a Dragon loses HP, either through combat or use of the skill reset button, the Utility column skills will also decrease in effectiveness, not only the Combat skills (Defense and Attack).
Ergo, if you have skilled the Utility column for greater Farm Production and Upkeep Efficiency, any loss of Dragon HP will trigger a simultaneous decrease in food production and increase in upkeep costs until the Dragon recovers completely.
At what level does the marketplace in the Dragon Dimension allow trading of type 2 resources?
That capability is not available as far as I know
Great walk though but can you explain the collectibles and what to do with them other than combining ?
Once you combine them to level 6 you are able to exchange them for an item.
