Invite Your Friends to Play War Dragons!

Do you wish you could play War Dragons with some familiar faces? Ever wonder how much stronger your guild could be if you had your sibling, cousin, or childhood friend by your side? Well with this new feature, you can make these dreams a reality! Referrals are now live in War Dragons and the we’re incredibly excited to dive deeper into this feature and to tell you exactly how it works and what to expect!

How does the referral feature work?

The below video created by our very own Pixxel provides a great overview of how the feature works, but we’ll also provide some additional detail in this blog post!

The referral feature will allow you to invite your friends and family into the game (on both iOS and Android), as long as you have their phone number, email address, or are connected on social media channels like Facebook, Twitter, and LINE. Once they tap on your personal link, they’ll be brought to the app store where they can download War Dragons. The most exciting part? While you will receive a small token of our appreciation for bringing a new player into the game, the bulk of the rewards will come as they continue to progress through the game, reaching specific level milestones. Don’t worry, the friend you invite will also receive some small rewards as they reach level milestones as well! 

How can I access this feature in the game?

It’s easy! Just follow these steps:

1. Tap on the “Settings” cog

2. Tap on the "Earn Rewards" button

That should take you straight to the referral section of the game!

What do I do next? What do all of these tabs do?

The first tab you’ll see is the “Info” tab, which goes over the steps you need to take to successfully refer someone into the game:

  1. Tap on the “Invite” button

  2. Share your personal link with a friend

  3. Receive rewards when your friend taps on your link and downloads War Dragons.

  4. Earn additional rewards when your friend levels up in the game and when you refer more friends! View the “Rewards” tab to learn more.

The tab to the left of “Info” is “Rewards” where you can view the table of rewards you can receive as the people you refer reach level milestones.

In addition to the rewards above which are achieved by helping your referree progress through the game and reach level milestones, you can also unlock brand new portraits by inviting more people to play War Dragons!

If you successfully invite one person to play War Dragons, you will unlock the Elven Maiden portrait.

 
If you successfully invite ten people to play War Dragons, you will unlock the Elven Queen portrait.
 

The tab to the left of “Rewards” is “Referrals” where you can view the people you’ve referred, their current level in the game, and the rewards you’re set to receive next. You can also tap on their name which will present the option to send them a message to provide words of encouragement, view their profile, or send them resources if they’re in the same guild as you. Right now it’s empty but it will be up to you to fill it with friends! Note: For the time being you can refer a maximum of 30 people but this is subject to change in the future.

 
When you’re ready to invite people to into the game, just tap on the green “Invite” button and a menu will pop up allowing you to share your personal link through SMS, Email, Facebook, Twitter, LINE and a variety of other messaging apps. Don’t worry, we’ll have a message ready to go for you so you won’t need to think too hard about the best way to invite your friends to join you in the game :)
 

Whoa whoa whoa. I saw a couple mentions of Phweemp dragon fragments. Is that a new dragon? If so, how can I attain it?

Great catch! Phweemp is a new dragon available in the game attainable only through referrals. You can unlock him in one of two ways: 1) Refer ten people and have each of them reach level 40 or 2) Refer twenty people and have each of them reach level 20. Ultimately you’ll need twenty fragments to unlock this cute little guy!

You’ll be able to level Phweemp from red tier to platinum so no matter what he’ll always be able to fly to victory with you :)

What happens after I send out the message to my friend?

Once your friend receives your message, all they need to do is tap on your personal link which will lead them to the app store to download War Dragons. On iOS, the process is easy - once they download the game and begin playing, everything will be ready to go and you’ll start seeing rewards as they progress through the game. On Android, the process is a little bit trickier. After the referree downloads and opens the game, they’ll need to go back to the message they received and tap on the same link again. Keep in mind that they need to tap on the link a second time within opening War Dragons five times otherwise it will not register as a successful referral.

That pretty much covers it! We hope you guys are as excited about this feature as we are and we look forward to seeing users rocking the Elven Maiden and Elven Queen portraits and destroying bases with Phweemp, The Destroyer!
