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.
