Does a dragon's Power number tell you everything in Dragonfire?

No. The 🔥 Power number (e.g. 17,540 → 25,620) measures a dragon's raw contribution, mostly driven by its level. It's a starting sort, not a verdict.

The proof by example: Jagadrix has the lowest Power on the roster (≈19,750) and yet it's one of the best dragons — the only 10★, with active stat debuffs (−Instinct/−Initiative) and fire doubled on panicking targets. Its real value comes from its effects, not its number.

What Power doesn't capture:

• Auras (e.g. Rhysarion −27.5% enemy damage, a flat %).
• Stat debuffs that multiply the whole army.
• Combo synergies (Panic, Vulnerable, First-Strike).
• The star tier unlocked (6★/10★).

So sort your dragons by Power for a first overview, but always cross-check against the abilities they've unlocked. A "weak" debuffer on paper is worth more than a big hitter with no kit.
