They traditionally symbolize potent and auspicious powers, particularly control over water. Academicians have identified four reliable theories on the origin of the Chinese dragon: snakes, Chinese alligators, thunder worship and nature worship. Chinese dragons have many animal-like forms such as turtles and fish, but are most commonly depicted as snake-like with four legs. The Chinese dragon, also known as the loong, long or lung ( Chinese: 龍 / 龙), is a legendary creature in Chinese mythology, Chinese folklore, and Chinese culture at large. If you would have all dragons in Dragon City and maxed them out (impossible), you could always set up the best possible team – in reality, you won’t have that many dragons at that level that you can use for combat so it’s smart to have several dragons that you can fill in because they will work good most of the time.'Dragon' in oracle bone script (top left), bronze script (top right), seal script (middle left), Traditional (middle right), Japanese new-style ( shinjitai, bottom left), and Simplified (bottom right) Chinese characters I’ve written a full guide about that here. It’s really important that you don’t just throw in all your strongest dragons and hope for the best – it’s a lot more effective if you take a closer look to the parent (first) elements of each dragon your opponent has and choose a dragon that will be strong against that dragon, that will let you cycle through your dragons and take out his dragons a lot faster.

You could also play it risky and set there and ice or water elemental dragon to hope for the first hit but I personally don’t like gambling here at all and use a pure dragon with high hitpoints to not have any bad surprises at the start and play by battle after the first move. Only the first element determines strength and weaknesses, so you can ignore all other elements when it comes to weak/strong.
