Commanders

Coming soon

A commander leads one army. Their 3 talents boost that army's dragons or weaken the enemy, and their rank (the sum of their talent ranks) raises the army's troop capacity, up to +25%. The army builder already knows how to play them: as soon as they are available, it will tell you which one to put on each army.

Commanders are on their way: talents, power and store are ready in the game, but they aren't switched on yet.

  • Complete quests and events to awaken legendary Commanders in the Grove.
  • Upgrade Talents to permanently strengthen each Commander across every Reign.
  • Assign Commanders to lead armies to activate their bonus power, troops, and Talents.

The essentials

  • Commander rank: the sum of their 3 talent ranks, from 0 to 60 (20 per talent).
  • Troop capacity of the army they lead: +1% at rank 1, up to +25% at rank 60.
  • Power: each talent adds to your account power, 230 at rank 1 and 38,210 at rank 20.
  • Cost: each talent rank costs more than the last; rank 20 costs 20 times rank 1. Taking a talent from 1 to 20 costs 210 times the price of rank 1.
  • Up to 5 commander slots: one commander per army.
  • Stamina: every commander action uses some, and it refills over time.

Their rarity rises with their rank:

Traits: what triggers the talents

Every dragon has one trait, and there are 8 of them. Most talents get stronger, or only switch on, if your army contains a dragon with the right trait: before picking a commander, check which traits you have in your armies. Trait names stay in English until the game translates them.

Once you have your commanders, mark the ones you own and each of their talents' rank: it's saved to your account, and the army builder will use it.

More commanders will appear here as soon as the game gives them their real talents.

Good to know: on 09/29 the game rewrote the description of several talents (new trait conditions, different values) without changing their actual effect yet. The values shown here are the ones that apply today; we'll update them if the rebalance lands.
