Born from Aether, Tidal is the element of water, representing serenity and relentless strength, with dragons of this element often being quite friendly but also stoic, or sometimes as unpredictable as the high seas.

 

They discover their element in a completely accidental way, which is impossible to narrow down a method to trigger its Awakening.

 

They are most found in the Celestial Seas, but some have evolved to live on the surface, which has allowed Tidal dragons to have two branches:

Tidal dragons from pure water families that have never left their place of origin have whiskers, gills and webbed feet, which makes them quite clumsy on the surface, and renders them dependent on being near water to retain their natural element and thus strength. Despite having gills, they are capable of breathing on the surface indefinitely.

Tidal dragons from pure water families that have left their place of origin, or from impure families, will lack the signature webbed feet, gills and whiskers, which makes them clumsy underwater, yet more capable on the surface. They breathe underwater thanks to their own element rather than the water itself.
 

Dragons of this element swap breath with manipulation depending on their origin: surface dwellers learn their breath first, while underwater dwellers learn manipulation first.

 

They use their element primarily as either a defensive tool or to improve their swimming capabilities, with higher masteries being capable of controlling the pressure of their breath into cutting streams.
Normal water breath is a mist, which as they learn, they may condense into full streams or pressured streams.
 

For manipulation techniques, they may summon water around them, or drown an opponent with.

They are the strongest in any moist or damp environment, or where there are bodies of water they may draw from.

Their place of origin are the Celestial Seas.

Physical Attributes

Abilities

​​

Standard ability

Tidal stream

A breathed stream of water moving at high speeds.

​

Effects

​

• Push: The high speeds of a Tidal breath allows it to push targets back. Unlike Gale breath, Tidal breath is more accurate, hitting smaller points. This can be used to strike a targets limb, causing them to topple

​

• Cut: by compressing their water breath into a thin, pressurised stream, it is able to cut through nearly anything. At lower levels, this is more of a graze or bruise. At Tier 4, the breath is able to make proper cuts, and as levels go higher, the cuts get deeper. At the highest levels, water has been recorded to be able to cleanly cut through a limb.

​

• Weigh down: A passive effect caused by the prolonged exposure to Tidal breath causes the water to cling to the target, making it heavy. This can prevent said target from running, flying, or attacking efficiently. It doesn't damage the target, but it will not be easily freed from the water, and it may be weighed down while attacked in other ways.

Fury

When a Tidal dragon performs a fury, the area becomes foggy and a tsunami explodes outwards from the dragon, flooding the area. Waves continually thrash enemies, destroying everything in their path, as bouts of freezing rain pour down from above. The area can remain flooded for days after the fury ends, if not permanently.
