What do the 4 dragon stats do: Strength, Instinct, Intelligence, Initiative?

Every dragon has 4 combat stats. Here's what each one actually does:

• Strength → raises physical damage (the basic attack, 🩸).
• Instinct → raises tactical damage AND cuts the physical damage you take.
• Intelligence → raises fire damage AND cuts the tactical damage you take.
• Initiative → decides who strikes first (turn order) AND cuts the fire damage you take.

That forms a stat triangle: each damage type is raised by one stat and reduced by another. As a beginner, the one to remember is Initiative: striking first means weakening the enemy before it hits back.

These 4 stats climb with the dragon's Reign Level and Star Rank.
