The Dragon Soul is a significant and powerful buff obtained by a team when they secure four dragons of any type in a single game. The type of Dragon Soul obtained depends on the dominant elemental dragon that appears in the game after slaying first 2 dragons. Each Dragon Soul provides a unique, permanent buff to all members of the team that secures it.
