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 Red Swordtails are rarely identical.

How to bond a Red Swordtail

Make courage your most frequent instinct across the seven scenes: go first, step in, stand in the open. 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. Walk in first, chin up, and let the sky see you.
  2. The Ravine. Throw a rope, take the high ground, and watch.
  3. The Ridge. Run the exposed spine of the ridge at full stride.
  4. The River. Turn around in the current and look straight up at it.
  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 word. Swear to guard wing and rider alike.

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