How Dragon Works
- Targets: ground and air with no preferred target.
- Movement: flies over Walls, so outside buildings and funnel shape decide its path.
- Splash: damages tightly grouped targets around the main hit.
- Spell value: place Rage where several Dragons attack important defenses together.

Super Dragon Requirement
- Regular Dragon must reach level 7.
- The boost costs 25,000 Dark Elixir.
- Super Dragon uses 40 housing space, so it replaces two regular Dragon slots.
Dragon Attack Strategy
- Build the funnel: clear both edges before the main group enters.
- Check Sweepers: choose an entry angle that avoids repeated knockback.
- Remove Air Defenses: use spells, Heroes or pathing to reduce concentrated anti-air damage.
- Rage the fight: cover several Dragons while they attack key defenses, not while crossing empty space.
- Start cleanup early: deploy safe cleanup troops before the slow main push reaches the final buildings.
Fix Common Dragon Attack Problems
- Army splits: narrow the funnel and remove side targets.
- Push stalls: change the entry angle or reserve Freeze for the heaviest anti-air section.
- Spells miss value: wait until several Dragons reach the same defense cluster.
- Time fails: begin cleanup sooner and avoid sending the whole army around the edge.
