I had checked that link before (and I assume it's auto-generated somehow or I wouldn't trust it), but of the data that was large enough to feel relevant I didn't manage to figure anything out. Didn't know you could click on those boxes, though. Interesting but still I can't figure it out.

Breeding red+yellow+blue+green seems to have the best chance, using eg firestorm + island. See the Diamond thread for some discussion and analysis, including the firestorm/island data, which I think is skewed. http://dragon-story.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:67057?&cb=6211

Additional comments: I use the Hyper Ch data to figure out what are the best combos. Mostly I use the “Dragons” tab and the “By Parents” tab. The first is most useful if you want to find what combos have been most successful for a particular dragon, but don’t know what to breed. If I know what the possible combos are, I mostly use the “By Parents” tab to see which have the best chance of success and avoid nasty fails. Example: wizard/night is good for many of the black hybrids, but avoids Night fails for some reason (though Night is a “possible” outcome via the wiki breeding calculator, I ran it 25x without a Night fail, which agrees with Hyper Ch data - of course I learned to hate Coral dragons, LOL...).

For simple combos with few possible dragons, if there are 20+ reports on a particular combo, the H Ch percentages for rares and super-rares are usually in reasonable agreement with what I get ( the more possible dragons, the more reports needed, so if there are 40 or 50 possible you need more data). Results for very low percentage dragons, e.g. Diamond, are easily misrepresented by small data sets or people reporting a single good result. The TL habit of expiring, re-releasing, and constantly introducing new dragons also impacts the stats. Still, I find the data very useful.

I would encourage people to submit their breeding results (its pretty easy), but it is very important to sumit ALL results for a combo, good and bad, or the results become distorted.
