Injuries.

Characters can take a wide range of damage in activities, from having scuffles that take minor damage, to large amounts of damage being removed lost. Losing health is not the end of the world and the amount of health is not enough to knock your dragon out if they are at full health.

In the Crucible your dragon fights to earn fame, glory, honor, and a lot of rewards. In all battles you will receive a varying amount of Crucible Coins to spend at the CRUCIBLE ARMORY alongside unique loot tables that progresively get better as your dragon’s rises through the crucible ranks.

All dragons start with no rank and need to participate in an Exaltion battle to move up the next rank which has a few unique requirements.

• The Exalted battle can be against Any Starter only (not player). Starters are geared up with equipment for that fight to make them a better challenge against you.
• You cannot skip ranks! You must become a challenger before you can become a warrior.
• You need Gauntlets which can be purchased in the CRUCIBLE ARMORY to participate in Exaltation Battles. One Gauntlet will give you one opportunity to rank up, use it wisely.
• The dragon who purchases the gauntlet is the only one who can use it! So you can't buy a gauntlet with Dragon A then have Dragon B use the gauntlet. If Dragon A buys it then Dragon A is the only one who can use it.
• Depending on what Arena level you are trying to obtain your dragon needs a certain level.
• Art/Lit requirements are the same as in Normal Crucibles!

Each time you rank up in Crucible (up to Champion) your character's listed Breath types will also level up, granting them higher damage.

All exalted starters are given additional items to help make them stand out against you in combat. These items are intended to level the playing field. Starters are simply scaled based on the character you use against them. i.e.: Fighting an exalted starter as a Challenger will give the starter items that may be seen on most challengers. These items do not change, so you can plan accordingly. 

Some starters have breath elements, magic, or skills. These for the most part stay the same, however magic tier may increase or decrease, or be nonexistent. No stat bonuses are awarded. These changes only apply to Exalted fights.
