How anybody plays Dragon Story is up to that individual, but I would like to discuss a theory about spending gold during tournaments. Okay, so we know that spending 30 gold (tournament prices) will give us that critical that we need to win, even if for e.g. it is a 1st level Fire Dragon, but how about we save that gold and instead spend it on speeding up the Arena, looking for natural criticals?

The way I see it, spending 4 gold a time to speed battle 6 times - thta's 24 gold - gives you 10% (this does seem to be the minmum) to the power of 7 (our 1st attack didn't cost us gold to speed, yet) compound chance for a critical (1.1^7). It looks to be over 94% in 7 tries, but you could increase that by using better dragons (which you should definatley do if you have them) and you could get that natural critical earlier.

Whilst I have generous neighbours, I don't personally like to spend gold on battles unless I'm pressed for time (usually during a Dragon Tales). Please comment, especially if I have this theory wrong.
