Why build a single-damage-type army in Dragonfire?

An army should aim at one dominant damage type (fire, physical or tactical). Not for style: because of the stat triangle.

Each stat debuff amplifies one type only: lowering enemy Initiative raises fire, lowering Instinct raises physical, lowering Intelligence raises tactical. If your army mixes all three damage types, a single debuff only helps part of your hits. If it's single-type, the smallest debuff multiplies everybody.

The 4 single-damage archetypes:

  • FIRE: Seasmoke/Syrax at the Center · Caraxes/Shadowsong/Tashix on the flanks · Jagadrix debuff (−Initiative). Very strong.
  • PHYSICAL: Rhysarion at the Center · Daemoros/Thunderstrike/Venator on the flanks.
  • TACTICAL: Feskar/Kalspire at the Center · Zivern/Antares as amplifiers.
  • CONTROL/PANIC: Kalspire/Shadowrend apply Panic → feeds the fire.

Single-type is leverage: your debuffs become team multipliers instead of gadgets.
