In this guide I am going to be teaching you all you need to know about Dragonrider which is a class that everyone will have to use at one point. It is one of the most versatile classes, both aesthetically and gameplay-wise due to many things such as being colour custom, having egg skills and even primals(which are pretty similar to trinkets except that they can only be changed via Elysia, in Book 1 Celestia or via DA interface).


All players can use a fully trained DragonRider armour (without a primal for some of these) in the quest Titans of BattleOn, Full Darkness, Extreme Full Darkness and The Merge.
Free players are able to use the untrained DragonRider skill set in the following quests:
CyseRedux, We now return to your show! and Garden of Good and Ebil.
Verified Guardians are able to use their full DragonRider skill set without training in The Guardian Dragon.

This will help you navigate through the guide. To use this simply hold control+f (command+f for a mac) and then a small search bar should appear. After it appears type in one of the below numbers.

5.Bite

6.Pierce

7.Burn

8.Light Primal

1.Set Primal to Bacon

2.Primal

3.Daze

4.Set Primal to Wind

Titan Wargoth Strategy:
Ok the main trick to this is to try and avoid his randomness and make sure you focused. Because of the nature of this battle I can't help you step by step but I can give tips.

1. The best order to attack is: Left hand, right hand then body.

2.Don't wait to see the animations.

3.Keep the primal as ice.

4. The main skills you use should be: Primal, Daze, Bite, Roar, Scale, Strike, Mana Regen and Coil.

5.Scale

6.Constantly repeat till dead.If needed replace a skill with Mana Regeneration or Coil.
