In the Dragon Dimension, there are a variety of buildings that fall outside what we may consider our “normal buildings.” These buildings have special functions and special costs when leveling them up. In the previous article, we began to discuss these buildings and covered the first Seven buildings on our list of Fifteen. If you did not get a chance to read this article make sure you do.
A Review of Dragon Dimension Special Buildings Part 1
This week we will continue to cover what each of these buildings does and the benefit of this building for different types of players. Also, if applicable and available we will cover costs for each of these buildings. However, before we get started we are going to give you a quick recap.
A Quick Recap
Special Buildings are defined as buildings that are not a part of our basic city setup. These buildings have special uses and functions. In the Dragon Dimension, we currently have 15 special buildings.
- Portal
- Dragon’s Den
- Graveyard
- Black Market
- Dungeon
- Athena’s Armory
- Mythical Training Grounds
- Hero Hall
- Lifetime Boost Hall
- Imperial Banner Stand
- Monster Lair
- Master Garrison
- Alchemy Lab
- Training Garrison
- Gear Workshop
While each of these buildings has a special function, not every one of these buildings provides stats. Last week we covered buildings one to seven and this week we will be covering more.
Special Building Eight: The Hero Hall
The Hero Hall is where you can manage your three Dragon Dimension Heroes from. The Hero Hall maxes out at level one.
Cost and Benefits of this building
Your Hero Hall only goes to level one but it does require that you have an unlock. This is the only cost associated with the building. However, we are not addressing the cost of leveling your Heroes here as the building is what we are focusing on. The Hero Hall allows you to switch between your three heroes. Without a Hero Hall, you are only able to access Hero number one. With that knowledge, we will continue to our next question.
Do I need to unlock my Hero Hall?
A couple of months ago I may have said that if you are comfortable with only having and using Hero One then this is not a necessary unlock. However, with the advent of Steadfast skills that apply whether or not you have that Hero equipped the Hero Hall has become very important to have unlocked. So, YES, this is a building that you need.
Where can I find out more about my Heroes?

Special Building Nine: Lifetime Boost Hall
The Lifetime Boost Hall sits in front of your Hero Hall. The Boost Hall maxes out at level one.
Costs and Benefits of this Building
The Boost Hall does require an unlock. However, that is the only cost for the building since it does max at level one. Inside the building, you can activate various permanent boosts that can help you to strengthen your stats. These have various costs to unlock as well.
There are three tabs in your boost hall:
- Athena’s Rewards- this provides a combination of Combat and Econ stats that can be obtained by unlocking the various boxes using Athena’s Rewards Boost Creation Component. However, this component has been very difficult to find and most players only have a limited amount of these boosts unlocked.
- Economics- Economics has multiple boosts for various econ functions including gathering, capacity (RSS), Production (RSS), Construction, and Research. Each of these functions has its Creation Component to unlock the boosts and they can be obtained in packs and events.
- Combat- this provides type stats, defender stats, attacker stats, and wonder stats. There are a ton of helpful stats in this tab that you should take a closer look at. For some of the older boosts, you will only need the Combat Boost Creation Component and Boost Creation Material. However, as you get into the newer boosts you will need Superior Combat Boost Creation Component.
Do I Need to unlock my boost hall?
The Boost Hall is essential as well. This building contains a ton of stats that are important for Traps, Leads, and Wonder players. So unlocking this building is important for all players.
Special Building Ten: Imperial Banner Stand
The Banner stand is where your various banners are housed. This building currently goes to level 4.
Costs and Benefits of this building
The Banner Stand goes to level 4 and unlocks with the purchase of a pack. After that, each level requires a special Tome that will unlock the next level. By leveling up this feature you can increase the number of banner slots available in your city.
| Level 2 | Tome of Sigils |
| Level 3 | Tome of Glyphs |
| Level 4 | Timeless Chime |
Do I need to Unlock and Level up this building?
I will not discount the fact that banners do provide a nice boost. It is a great feature to unlock and to level up. However, if you are working on a budget then currently it is not the first place I would go looking for stats because it is not a gamechanger and you can get more stats from other places. The best banners for people on budgets include some of the economy banners to help with building and research costs. However, as you can snag the items you need it will not hurt to upgrade and equip banners with some extra stats.
Special Building Eleven: Monster Lair
The Monster Lair is our newest special building and brings with it a wealth of stats. This building currently goes to level 10.
Costs and Benefits of this building
We are going to take a closer look at the functions of our monsters. The combat benefits of the Lair levels and the costs to level up your lair. We also have some early monster leveling costs included in this article. However, recent costs have not been tracked as closely.
Breakdown of the Monsters
Your Monsters have three uses currently:
- Defense- In order to use your monsters for Defense you must unlock your wall slots and place them in your Wall. Please note that even when you do this you will not see the stats apply to your overall stats, however, the stats are still helping you.
- Attack- You can have up to 3 monsters in your marches.
- Wonder- At Level 10 of your Monster Lair you are able to unlock the ability to use your monsters in Wonder.
Monster Lair Combat Stats
Your Monster Lair also gives its own Combat Stats that are worth the level. These stats for the current max level of 30 are listed below:
- 62,000% Empire Defending Troop Attack
- 70,000% Empire Defending Troop Defense
- 52,000% Empire Defending Troop Health
- 62,000% Empire Assault Troop Attack
- 70,000% Empire Assault Troop Defense

- 54,000% Troop Attack Bonus While Occupying the Wonder

Do I need this Building?
If not just for the stats you are getting from the building it is worth it to unlock the Monster Lair and work on leveling it up. However, your monsters continue to give added benefits when unlocking them and leveling them up and using them in various battle functions. This is a feature that is worth investing in.
This week we have taken a closer look at four more special buildings in the Dragon Dimension. In the next article, we will cover the final three, in the meantime if you have any questions or there is anything you would like to see added join us on our social media and let us know!
