What is a Hunter (Debuffer) dragon good for in Dragonfire?

The Hunter is the Debuffer: key stat Intelligence, fire damage. Its job is to weaken the enemy so your whole army hits harder.

The master lever in this game is lowering the enemy's defensive stat: less Initiative means more fire damage taken; less Instinct means more physical damage taken. Jagadrix cuts Instinct and Initiative, Crimson stuns and lowers stats, Caraxes throws out massive fire (+150% with First-Strike).

A good Hunter doesn't just hit for itself: it sets the table for the rest of the army. Indispensable as soon as you go after tough targets.
