Get a lot of use out of them before retreating/rotating. The key to playing drakes vs loyalist is carefully managing the HP of your units. So things like massing armies of only spearmen or dark adepts have some chance of succeeding.īut, that doesn't necessarily mean the drakes are weaker - they are just harder to play correctly. Multiple drakes can use fire attack.ĭrakes' weaknesses are so obvious that it seems the enemy barely has to think to come up with an effective strategy. However, their saurian augurs can use cold attack. This is due to their high damage and mobility, combined with low defense, and also the availability of skirmisher units.ĭrakes have access to blade, pierce and impact attacks, same as any other faction. It's good to note that the drake faction has exceptional potential for leader-kill situations. If your opponent refuses to leave 70% defensive terrain, go heavy on the saurians rather than the drakes and attack at night. Since you trade your defense for other abilities, fighting battles where your opponent has low defense will give you a greater advantage than it will for any other faction. Having a mobile healer helps with this if villages are sparse. Because of this you'll usually want to be the aggressor in battle to kill a unit or two, get damaged, and then flee to heal.

Your major disadvantage is how easily your units will take damage. You'll then have the advantage by being able to decide when and where battles will happen. Take advantage of having the best mobility in the game by placing your units in hard-to-access places such as behind mountains or across water from your opponent. Your units are big and deadly, but they're also more expensive than most also, they're relatively fragile for their cost and many have a specific vulnerability to piercing weapons.

He must be protected, because he is both a good healer and a terrible fragile unit.ĭrakes generally win by dealing the most damage. If villages are sparse or you have to defend early on, Saurian Soothsayer is good for you. If not, Drake Flare is a good choice with his leadership. Warriors, like Fire Drake or Drake Thrasher, are useful, if you really plan to attack with them. On big maps, you can also change one Fighter for another Glider.ĭrakes have three rational choices about leaders. Units like Drake Burners are good against random opponent, but they are very expensive (and you will have only 5 units).

Two fighters have both advantages and disadvantages, yet this is the best setup you can have for 100 gold. weak melee attack (impact), medium magical ranged attack (cold).strong against against anyone with no ranged attack weak in 1vs1 fights.chaotic, can be upgraded into 2 2 useful units (stronger Oracle or a better healer).
