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 Orange Swordtails are rarely identical.

How to bond a Orange Swordtail

Make defiance your most frequent instinct: challenge, refuse, take the path you were told not to take. Favour direct choices: the shortest line to the problem.

One route that works, and the one with the best odds of surviving (80% chance of a bond):

  1. The Gate. Slip onto the scree path nobody else wants.
  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. Kneel and press your palm into the ash until it stops shaking.
  6. The Silent Colossus. Bow once, rise, and speak your own name.
  7. The Judgment. Your word. Swear to guard wing and rider alike.

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