The best formations with Syrax

Syrax 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.

Sentinel: at the Center it spreads its aura, on a flank it benefits from someone else's. Not the same dragon.
