Dragon
The Dragon
- Description
- Dragon is a flying unit that can deal splash damage to the closest air or ground unit. The best ways to use dragons are to destroy the enemy’s air defenses first to send in the dragons to deal a lot of damage. They can also be used to soak up the damage so that balloons can attack the village. When defending against dragons multiple air defenses will be needed as they are extremely strong and can absorb a lot of damage, and these defenses should be behind wall ensuring they don’t get destroyed to early on by ground units.
- Offensive Tips
- Most Dragon strategies involve taking out as many Air Defenses as possible with other units (infantry,Giants, etc.) or Lightning Spells, as it is a significant weakness to this powerful unit.
- A good strategy involves a mix of Dragons and Balloons. Dragons can suck up fire from Air Defensesand Wizard Towers while Balloons go straight for the Defensive Buildings, though this is a very costly strategy.
- The Dragons are mostly used to get Trophies as their high cost doesn't make them great candidates for resource raiding.
- Defensive Tips
- The Dragons are one of the most powerful Troops in the game, and as such it can be difficult to defend against them. Multiple high-level Air Defenses are critical for success against Dragons; make sure that your Air Defenses are behind your primary line of defense so that they cannot be taken out early in the battle.
- A Dragons are wonderful Clan Castle Troops. As a flying unit, the Dragon is completely immune to attacks from most ground troops, and its splash damage capability makes it especially suited for destroying groups of Barbarians and Goblins. Its high health also helps it survive attacks from even multipleArchers or Wizards (although a large group of either will usually be enough to destroy the Dragon).
