How the numbers are built

Talents go on first, the way the game applies them: damage up, cooldown down and range up by 2% a level. Then Shiny and the trait: a trait's damage adds to the Shiny bonus, its speed cuts the cooldown and its range multiplies range. Dragons whose helpers walk the whole road ignore range, and farm, wall and boost dragons can't hold a trait at all. Relics only exist in Endless and are on the relics page.

Questions

How is DPS worked out?

Damage divided by cooldown at the level you pick, on one target. A level that sends several thorns, beams, bullets or moons at once shows that count next to it. Fire Dragon at level 7 does 113 every 1.4 s, 80.7 a second, before its splash and burn.

Which trait adds the most damage?

Annihilator: +100% damage, a 0.05% roll. Rapid Fire cuts cooldown by 25%, which is +33% DPS. On Fire Dragon that's 161.4 against 107.6.

How much is a Shiny worth?

+10% on damage, burn, lava pools, cluster bombs, farm income, helper health and boosts. A Shiny's bonus adds to a trait's damage instead of multiplying it: Shiny with Annihilator is x2.1, not x2.2.

What do talents add?

Each of Extra Damage, Extra Range and Faster Attacks gives 2% a level for 5 levels, and Cheaper takes 2% a level off place and upgrade prices. All maxed, Fire Dragon goes from 80.7 to 98.7 DPS.

Which dragon gives the most DPS for its Cash?

At top level, Assassin Dragon (28.7 per $1,000, $8,720 in all), Lightning Dragon (23.2 per $1,000, $1,725 in all), Moon Dragon (20.8 per $1,000, $10,700 in all).
