The dragon's 5 passives — fill in their level.
Vanguard ability
Hunter's Wrath
Increases your fire damage by 16%. The ally on the right flank gains +20 Strength and Initiative.
Only switches on at level 16 and while the dragon holds the Center — the game calls that seat the Vanguard. It comes with the dragon: no Breedmark, no Core to spend.
In battle
The best formations with Smoketail
Smoketail never fights alone. A fight is three dragons: one at the Center spreading its aura to the whole army, two on the flanks, and a single troop type. The same dragon can wipe the field or get crushed depending on who stands next to it.
Measured by the AI
Tier C · #28 of 38 dragons
Its best measured formation, with Cavalry:
The AI played 8,436 trios, every dragon at level 40, 6★ and 3 habits upgraded: the engine plays the battles, it doesn't guess. With your own stars the best formation changes — that's what the army optimizer works out.
- Smoketail is green on Pikemen. Dragons sharing that affinity: 12. Which ones do you own?
- Hunter: at the Center it spreads its aura, on a flank it benefits from someone else's. Not the same dragon.
You enter your dragons, we hand you the order, the positions and the troop — and the why.
