Breeding this new dragon will not be easy. I estimate the odds to be about half a percentage chance when using Narcis + Fury. If you breed through the 10k tries in the rift every day, it'll take a couple weeks on average. Even 300 tries, roughly 3 weeks, only 80% will get one. You can use this info to decide if you want to focus on Dragons Week dragons or this new one. I hope that in the future, they don't release new dragons during a Dragons Week. The whole point is to give us time to catch up.
It’s true that it won’t be easy to breed Hyperion, but at least it will be here for 29 days. There will be a new event next week, but typically for the first week there’s only cloning activity and breeding returning limiteds, as we await the first new event limited.
From the last event to the milestone dragon, it’s clear that there needs to be an adjustment in the breeding and cloning percentages. A large number of fails and long fails are preventing players from successfully acquiring the dragons and enjoying the game. I don’t think players mind purchasing some dragons, but ultimately their goal is to successfully breed dragons.

Oh, I understand it'll be here for 29 days. Just many players will spend the first 7 days working on Dragons Week dragons. Then the next 7 days on dragons returning for the new event (if one starts soon), especially when we often know which dragons we need to get for upcoming limiteds. There's always a few I need to get. After that, the following week will be for the new limited released. And repeat. Given that it takes about 3 weeks to get Hyperion and locks up your Rift breeding cave, you have to give up Dragons Week, Week 1 setup in a new event, and the first limited in a new event in the rift to commit to getting it.
So I agree, the odds are too low on newer dragons. The base chance for this one is 2%, which is in range of many of their dragons, but I sometimes think they don't consider large result sets that lower the odds significantly for a few dragons. That's what happened this last event too. Or the long, long fail times. My caves are locked up for 2 days.
I’m surprised Dark isn’t an Element of Hyperion, given it’s lineage. (Hidden elements: Hyperion contributes plant, earth, metal, air, lightning). Has anyone successfully bred one yet, using a friend’s Hyperion in co op? If you have, please share the Elemental you used! I think I’ll start with Elder Plant, hoping for some shorter fail times. Thanks!
I already have a majority of the dragons they brought back for Dragon's Week, so I'm focusing my efforts on Hyperion instead.
.....and my first attempt at breeding Hyperion gave me a Double Rainbow. 😭
Maybe little Mesmer isn't as much of a koala as I thought. I might have to return him to the pet store for a refund.

No refunds policy at the pet store. You pet it, you buy it.

ackkkkk, Breeding time for Hyperion is 2 days 22 hours, which surely must stand for the year 2022,,,, but, but, but Wouldn’t it have been better to have been 20 hrs 22 minutes?? That looks more like 2022!!! Even if I was lucky enough to breed it, I might as well go to bed and stay there for almost 3 days LOL. OK carry on. Minor rant over

Hyperion has a 2 day, 22 hour incubation time because it’s 70 hours. The milestone dragons tend to have incubation times in relation to its number.
But I sure hope the 800th dragon will only have an 8 hour incubation time. 70 hours is too long. 80 hours is ridiculous.

Thanks adlerist for the breeding hint for Hyperion. It is going to be challenging to breed with the possible number of dragons as fails and the length of some of those fails. Have already bred a Fury and a Rainbow in the Vale - thank goodness for Kairos. Breeding in the rift I'm getting Thistle, Pollen, Tidepool and other what would be short fails in the Vale - don't think I've bred one Epic in the Rift.
I think I might need 700 days, not 700 hours to breed Hyperion.
If anyone is looking for a shortcut or save themselves the stress of long fails - Hyperion is available in the wish market.

Thanks for the info MinyaZ, I didn’t think Hyperion would be in the wish market until it expired. Going to use a wish right now. My game crashes so much & takes up so much time that I don’t have the energy for all the long fails whilst waiting (in vain) for a 70 hour timer!!

I rarely use a wish so I have accumulated 7 of them and used one for Hyperion thus helping containing my too high blood pressure 😜 I will just try for it in the rift.
Am I right that Misfortune isn’t available to breed? (I need one in the rift before I can try for Fury 😩)
Unfortunately, Fury’s parents, Misfortune and Snowpocalypse are not available. I’ll ask if they can be added.

All my koalas just went on Spring Break and my whine glasses are barely dry.
I have only one Fury, of which I was trying to clone another for a ped just as Hyperion comes sauntering in. 🙄 Now I’m scrambling, trying to breed a Rifted Misfortune, so I can breed a Rifted Fury, so I can get any kind of Hyperion before Easter! 🤦🏻♀️
Here koala koala koalllaaaa, I still haven’t put away the apples yet…

Not sure where this goes but the Light element is back with Lumineux again. It's now a 5-element dragon. Haha
Thank you! Yes, this is the correct thread. I reported Lumineux’s change yesterday. But I appreciate your post because a lot happened yesterday, so it could’ve easily been missed by members.
I’m glad the light element is back. It fits the dragon more than any of the other primary elements. Lumineux is like Sumi now.
