Wyrmwise alternative: the AI plays the battles

Looking for Wyrmwise? Here is a factual comparison with Buffer Companion, the Game of Thrones: Dragonfire army optimizer whose AI plays out the battles instead of estimating them.

Wyrmwise at a glance

Wyrmwise is an English-language army builder for Game of Thrones: Dragonfire. The free tier builds up to 3 armies with an account; the Pro subscription (£2.99 a month) adds all 5 armies, habit advice, rating a build and comparing armies. Its recommendations rely on a points score, and it only keeps trios whose 3 dragons all have positive affinity for the chosen troop.
