The Dragon is an interesting and
powerful air troop available in Clash of
Clans. As his name suggests it can fly and produce flame from his mouth. So, during the raid he use the fire from his
mouth to destroy enemy’s village.
He can damage both air and ground
troops and he also has small splash damage like wizard. It has high hit points
and damage, however it is costly and required 20 housing space.
The Dragon unlocks at Town Hall 7,
and there are nine levels of Dragon available in Clash of Clans. It is the ninth
troop unlock from the dark barrack.

Different amounts of elixir are
necessary to upgrade Dragon from one level to another, and we can also use gems
instead of elixir.
The upgrading process also takes a
certain period and the upgrading process is done in the research laboratory. We
can also use gems to upgrade the troops immediately.
In this article, we will discuss
the total amount of elixir and gems required to upgrade Dragon. Moreover, we
will also look at the required buildings for this upgrade.
Upgrading Cost and Time
For level one dragon there are not any cost and time as they will unlock when we upgrade the barrack to level 9.
From level two elixirs are required to upgrade them. The table illustrates the
required amount of elixir and time for the upgrade or with gems cost.

Required Buildings
Obviously, in Clash of Clans, it is
important to upgrade buildings as it will increase their hit points as well as
damage value (only for defenses).
Some buildings such as spell
factory or barracks also unlock new spells or troops when they are upgraded.
The most important building in Clash of Clans is Town Hall.
We can unlock new items only when we upgrade Town Hall, and Research Laboratory is used to upgrade the troop’s level.
There are certain levels of Town Hall and Research Laboratory which are
necessary for Dragon to upgrade to different levels those are given below.

Dragon’s Levels
There are nine different levels of Dragon
in Clash of Clans. At level one, he has a dark green body with little bit
brighter wings and horns. Up to max
level we can see tremendous changes in his body and appearance.
At level 2, his body become purple. Similarly, at level three he has darker green body with wings and horns of same color.
After that, as level increases the horns become more golden and his body
color also changes in each and every levels. The images of the Dragon at
different levels are shown below.
Conclusion
Around 61,000,000 elixirs are required to
upgrade the Dragon from level 1 to 9. It takes around 67 days 6 hours for this
process. A total of 28285 gems are required for this upgrade without time
limits.
At the current time, it cost a
minimum of 209.48 USD (1 pile of gems + 2 chest of gems) to buy those gems.
Thus, 209.48 USD is required to upgrade Dragon to the max level using gems.
