By activating a setting in your customization menu, you're able to use the vertical arrow keys (or possible rebound horizontal arrow keys) to reassign familiars to your active dragon:

The strategies for bonding familiars become equal:
[LIST]
[*] Assigned familiars: click to bond + arrow keys to replace dragon + reload the page
[*] Excess familiars: click to bond + arrow keys to replace familiar + reload the page
[/LIST]
Benefits:
[LIST]
[*] Same amount of page reloads. Same amount of ad revenue
[*] Requires one-on-one interaction with each familiar (not a bond-all; lore-friendly?)
[*] Still requires some degree of time investment
[*] Possibly friendlier to mobile players (2-tab method is impossible on mobile. But maybe: clicking the new button could swap to the next familiar in your hoard, making the methods for assigned & excess familiars equal on mobile as well)
[*] No difficulty penalty for players who choose to have smaller clans (less dragons to assign familiars to)

Oh, this is great actually, as someone who picked up mass bonding for NOTN. full support, I would use this daily.

I used to display all my meme numbers here, but honestly im tired off that
i will still say that i own the #

Support. It would also help to have options for which familiars get swapped in first. (ex. from lowest bond level to highest or newest to oldest)

I like this idea. I'm more likely to engage with the site function of bonding with familiars if this were to be implemented.

I saw the thread about disability accomodations and honestly this is the most likely. Also I love it

I love this! Great mock up!

Thank you! For the mockup enjoyers, here's another, which both makes the overall idea clearer and hopefully shows how this can work on mobile:

I'd want to implement buttons on the familiar image, as well. They'd function identically to how the dragon arrows do in the current game. Default order would probably be whatever it is in your inventory (same as the two-tab method) though I wouldn't mind being able to change the order (maybe it defaults to whatever your inventory setting is, so if you've set to ABC or ID order, it will use that setting?)
It might make more sense for the arrows to be vertical on the familiar image, if the function is bound to the vertical arrow keys, but I also like the visual consistency of having them aligned the same on both the dragon and the familiar

Very much support! While doing my own very time consuming bonding with familiars during NOTN this feature would have been so helpful for my wrists and hands, it would prevent the bad cramping from having to go through the tedious swapping process.

Oh yes please! That would be fantastic and I think it'd feel really satisfying to do. Better than what I was doing before with having two tabs open changing the familiar in one and reloading/bonding in the other.

I second this. And support!
My only concern would be how the next dragon is picked. Is it non-bonded-today, just starts at the first in your hoard and cycles through until the end, etc. Either of those options I think would be best, but yeah it depends how it's sorted -- I don't mind if we have no control over that, so long as it's a practical sorting system with the focus on those not bonded with today.
