There are a large amount of dragons in this game. You can earn them by sending Toothless on search expeditions with Hiccup and, if you're lucky, you can get a dragon egg from the satchel. Once you find the eggs you can hatch them and place them on Berk. You can also just pay for the dragons with Runes.

Battle Mode
Battle Mode is a new game mode that was released on December 5th 2015. The objective is to defend Berk from Raiders using dragons with the aid of supports (Catapult and Flare). Before combat begins, you can scout first for 30 seconds where you can view the five different types of ships: Flagship, Armored Ship, Attack Ship, Ranged Ship and Supply Ship. When combat begins, you start off with 30 energy. Energy are used for deploying dragons or for using the Catapult and Flare. The combat ends when you have destroyed the Flagship, retreating or if all your dragons gets exhausted. At the end of a successful defend, you will receive Treasure Key as your reward. Depending on how much damage the Flagship dealt to Berk, you can receive from 1-3 Treasure Key. Treasure Key are used to open Treasure Chests. The chest will randomly offer you with rewards such as resources or collection items.
There are currently 3 different dragon types:
Relentless Attacker
Attacker dragons (indicated by a fireball) are good in damage but can be quite vulnerable. They attack from a medium distance from the ship.
Tough Defender
Defender dragons (indicated by a heart) withstands huge amount of damage and therefore, should be used as a shield for other dragons. However, they firepower is rather weak and they attack at a close range. This enables them to fire at a Ranged Ship without getting hit.
Ranged Sharpshooter
Sharpshooter dragons (indicated by a target symbol) can damage the ships from a safe distance. Their health is rather average, along with their firepower.
All of them has different ability that helps you in combat if you use them well. There are also a specialized type of standard dragon called Battle Dragon. This dragons have better combat statistics, but they get less Fish or Wood. You can get them from Trader Johann collections by completing the number of collection items you need to gather for it.
There are also different ships in the attack:
Flagship
The Flagship is the main ship of the fleet. Taking out other ships will help to bring down its health. However, defeating the Flagship only also brings victory. The Flagship deploys gigantic fire balls from their catapult onto Berk. These ships are unable to attack dragons.
Attack Ship
These ships are small, but attack dragons rapidly with arrows. They take down dragons the fastest, hence their name. As these ships can only attack at a close range, attacking at a distance works best.
Armoured Ship
The Armoured Ship attacks dragons at a distance slowly. However, they are tough and are hard to take down. They also have the the ability to shoot down dragons at a far distance, including Ranged Sharpshooters.
Ranged Ship
These ships can attack dragons from a far distance. They shoot large fire balls that are capable of hitting many targets. However, they are unable to attack dragons which are close to it.
Supply Ship
These ships are the easiest to take down as they provide energy easily and do not attack dragons. They are normally found beside larger ships in sheer numbers.
