• Summary
  • The Dragon is a fearsome mythical flying unit and is capable of terrorizing both ground and air units . Unlike the Balloon, the Dragon has a ranged attack, similar to archers. 
  • Also unlike the Balloon the Dragon does not target a specific building to attack; it targets whatever is nearest.

---

• Strategy
  • 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 Defenses and Wizard Towers while Balloons go straight for the defensive buildings. 
  • Dragons are mostly used to get trophies as their high cost doesn't make them great candidates for resource raiding.
  • The first person to have reached over 4000 trophies (Jorge Yao) used to use an all-Dragon army. He used 4 Lightning Spells as support, one to take out Clan Castle troops and the rest to destroy an Air Defense. This was his way to ensure 50% damage practically every time he attacked in order to become the top player and achieve this wonderful feat.

• Trivia
  • ​The Dragon is one of the two troops of which the picture in the Barracks resembles an upgraded troop, the other being the Wall Breaker.
  • The Dragon encounters major graphic changes at all 3 levels.
  • A Dragon's shadow is oval, not dragon-shaped. 
  • You can have a maximum of 11 Dragons at one time in a full complement of fully upgraded Army Camps. This number increases to 12 if you include the 1 that can fit into a fully upgraded Clan Castle.
  • A Dragon does small splash damage when it attacks.
