These are breed base stats. An individual dragon adds a bonus for its rarity (Common to Legendary) and a small variance of its own, so two Blue Swordtails are rarely identical.

How to bond a Blue Swordtail

Split your first six choices evenly across three instincts, two each, then make your seventh choice the fourth instinct you have not used. Favour direct choices: the shortest line to the problem.

One route that works, and the one with the best odds of surviving (78% chance of a bond):

  1. The Gate. Hang back. Read the wind and the ridgelines first.
  2. The Ravine. Keep walking. The Vale culls the weak.
  3. The Ridge. Rope the squad together and cross at the pace of the slowest.
  4. The River. Wade out where the codex says never to cross.
  5. The Ashfield. Gather the tags of the fallen to carry home.
  6. The Silent Colossus. Bow once, rise, and speak your own name.
  7. The Judgment. Your courage. Stand in the heat without flinching.

Instincts shown on this route: Resolve, Defiance, Loyalty, Defiance, Loyalty, Resolve, Courage. Other routes reach the same breed. What matters is the count of each instinct and each tail, not the exact scenes.
