Dragon Clan Fanatics

[{Dark}WolfBite 2]

This topic is for Dragon users and Dragon Fanatics only.

Discuss strategies, hints & tips, secrets, and the whole whatnot.

I will start off with, a moderate rush:

- works best in twisted fate map.*

- need full cooperation with partner.*

- need an excellent micro.*

- need to know how to play dragon*

1) First start off making archers/fire and geisha,

2) Then use the army as a hit and run technique,

burn buildings, kill units, mess opponent up.

3) While screwing the opponent's strategy, quickly build town center,

and keep.

4) By this time you should have 2 yang,

use the yang to make arah.

5) Make extra peasants into archers/fire.

6) Hit and run until opponent can't take it anymore,

and makes a stupid mistake by attacking you.

7) Here is where your partner comes in and eliminates the opponent's army.

8) Then sit back and enjoy watching their towns burn down.

A few kabuki/flash, or samurais with dragonskin may help.

Dragon Fire helps a hell of a lot in this situation.

I am used to this so I can muster up a victory every game, so don't think if you lose with this, that this strategy sucks. BECAUSE IT DOESN'T!

Of cousre that strat doesnt suck. There IS a reason why EVERY DRAGON PLAYER uses it.

[{Dark}WolfBite 2]

Who says it doesn't work, I use it all the time.

[Jdeks 0]

I know it works. Thats why EVERYONE uses it.

[{Dark}CoolGuy 1]

Kabuki with flachpowder are the best i think.

[Lord Kenji Oja 0]

Hm, my strategy is more straightforward and brute force-esque. I usually mass samurai with Yang Blade battle gear, then mass archers with Fire Arrow BG. Then, I get Kazan, Otomo, and Garrin out. Garrin calls in a horse and I mount my samurai. Garrin and Otomo with their samurai skirmish with the enemy, drawing as many out as possible.

However, my archers, with full stamina, are lying in wait. Once the enemies get into range, my massed archer proceed into turning my enemies into swiss cheese. Once I draw out a bulk of the enemy force, my archers and samurai all rush in and proceed to massacre the peasants and buildings..............

Does that strat suck?

[DDD 0]

Yup the Dragon clan is a very straight forward clan. I can't really come up a unique strategy for them. Simple and balanced.

My usual playing tactic with this clan

Defence

---------

Geisha on a WT with archers, archers guarded by spearmen with stun spear.

-When enemy approach them spearmen wont move too far from the tower if their guarding the archers that are holding ground, spearmen will stun approching melee unit with stun spear, archers and spearmen will ofcourse attack the stunned enemy. When stun spear is used and still out numbered time to use the WT charge.

Offense

---------

Melee - Sams mixed with Kabuki(flash powder)

Missile - Archers(ofcourse)

Plus I always put my Geisha's on horses

[Dragonsoul 3]

Archers are very good, but some people just made only Archers in the whole game. To annoy them, I also play as Dragon and counter all those archers with Kabuki. Stardusts and Flash Powders messed up his little Archers bunch. Finish those pansy Archers with melee units.

[cptheslayer 2]

easy said than done. Wolfbite is very good iff the partner is a strong and fast one. If not, the 2 teams might have to switch bases and wolfbite's team will be at disadvantage. I would say don't get Arah, just build dragon spire and get one more yang. then use spirit to defend the base while burning the enemies' base. The rest of the strat listed here are weak. Mass sam? Mass archers? Mass Kabuki? what is with all these? Do this and you will lose most of the time. Wolfbite's strat is not really a rush. It slows down the enemies while he is building. I would just directly get spirit instead of Arah.

CP, you can play me and then afterwards tell me what you believe.

This strategy works, you need to know dragon.

[cptheslayer 2]

read carefully, then you can say that. if you have a newbish partner, then while ur building your keep, both u and your bewbish partner would be dead. Your strat is great and require a good partner and strong. i think i have come to realize the true power of dragon and on my way to master it. That's why i stop playing other clans. I would like to play you though.

[IndominusRex 13]

I am starting to like dragon lol...

[Adeon 3]

Fast,skill,micro, good strategy, u win, trust me l have played with cp and he knows how to use dragon same about u wolf and baxter u good with dragon, anyway a good strategy that owns can kill beat very good players.

[IndominusRex 13]

Aha.. darky use dragon, and almost lost to my serpent hehe.. I have done a lot of mistake that's why i lost to him.. hehe

[[LOT]rundown 3]

I like dragon a lot, usually when I play I am dragon, serpent, or wolf. I am barely ever lotus. I like how dragon has lots of innate abilities and how they have a very strong keep.

[Darky 1]

cough coug.. dragon, wow this is my confor zone, microed samurai owns non lotus opponent

[cptheslayer 2]

Thanks to Legion. I am only on my way to perfecting my skills using Dragon. I am not there yet.

Darky, from what I understand of microed sam owns is that it consists of a few groups of sam, then you alternate the attacks while helping the first group resting or escaping. Hee, truts me, dragon skins is great, but if u mass them, u must be new to Dragon or BR. Perhaps, u claimed that sam owns because u were fighting ronnins or other units that were ezily owned by sams. Think again!

My advice for all Dragon players is to use a variety of units with BG's. Mostly just make units that do cutting, magic, and piercing. Don't worry too much about doing explosive; spirit can handle this job for u. So, u have the advantage to know that your opponent will not mass army with explovise weaknesses. If they do, heeheh, the victory is yours.

So, when I play against Serpent, I expect Serpent to Cannons or Bandits with a few musk and ronnins. I just concentrate my force on Archers, and sams, of course with BG's. When attacking, i try to kill musk first. If there are many of musk, use spirit. Also, spirit can do an enormous damage to cannons. Based on my experience, i conclude that Dragon can own Serpent in a long game. Not sure about rush game.

[Darky 1]

cough... horse..horse, the ultimae weapon of dragon, maybe the key for most case for dragon to win, horse combo with micro sam+archer fire

[cptheslayer 2]

Darky, u still don't understand the true power of Dragon. Trust me, sam is great, but die fast, chain reaction. U can mass sam if u want. But u will soon accept that mass sam is weak when u face a good player.

[IndominusRex 13]

cough... horse..horse, the ultimae weapon of dragon, maybe the key for most case for dragon to win, horse combo with micro sam+archer fire

Aha!.. My friend... Horse abuser.. lol.. it's funny to play with you darky... I am abusing at horse's back

[cptheslayer 2]

it is always nice to see horse abuser gets snatched of his horses and get killed.

Only Serpent can steal horses from the horse rusher. Tower up and get musk. Then get snipers asap. Before u have snipes, u can hit and run or just stay in town near the tower. Once mounted swordmen get close, use tower charge. Then command each of ur musk to get the horses. Then trample the swordmen to death.

A good player never send mounted units in serpent or lotus tower range. If he does not do that, then once u have snipes, go kill the mounted swordsmen. Formation of ur snipers is important. Spread them far apart from each other. Since ur opponents focuses on horses and swordsmen, he or she will not have much more resources to build different units unless of course he cheats. This will allow u to dismount the swordsmen and snatch their horses if they dare to approach in sniper range. If they cowardly hide in their town, just attack whatever that is in ur sight. Don't forget to build different buildings when u can such as tavern to get a few raiders to burn their town.

Also don't forget to upgrade musk. upgrade the blunt and piercing res before the do more damage because u don't need any extra damge to kill swordsmen, in fact, u might need the blunt res just in case ur opponent is able to get cannons. But your opponent can't do that because he has loads of swordmen. He can upgrade swordsmen to bandits, but that needs time and resources. Then onces again, bandits do piecing damage. Ur upgraded musk should be able to handle those bandits without running around. Just snipe them.

If your opponent is able to train their swordsmen into bandits then into Ronnins, just inactivate snipescope and watch those ronins fall. Mostly, ur opponent will be able to make any other units as u put pressure on his base and attaking their building.

I would go for the water and rice hut and limit their resources even though i know my opponent's units are outnumbered. I do this because every unit of mines should not die just because of my haste to victory.

Once again, it depends on how fast u r able to manage the game. I used this strat 3 times and I had ez time countering the rush and counterattack my enemies. In 2 of the games, i even got free horses to mount, heeheh. In one of the game, my opponent rushed in but retreated once he saw my tower and my musks were shooting his mounted swordsmen. Then i get snipes and positioned them in a formation near my opponent's base. I used some of the units to attack. When the swordsmen didn't expect me to have snipes, he rushed his horsemen to chase my musks. As a result of his mistake, i got free horses once again.

[IndominusRex 13]

The dragon have a horse upgrade that the unit never loose the horse

[cptheslayer 2]

Yea right, in a rush game, u try to get that. Only 2 yangs which is easily earned. But u need to attack to get the Yangs. If u attack without mounted units, chances are u lose. After u fail, ur opponent is immediately charged into ur base. No time for u to get train more units and upgrade. If u wait, then snipers can dismount ur units. Either way, serpent can still dismount u. Perhaps, if u have a very good strat, then u can keep ur horses.

[IndominusRex 13]

So When I play with darky.. I dont let him get horse... Because Ihave more chance to lose if I let him get horse.. He use horse very well..

[Darky 1]

hmm ur stra is very nice, but not everyone is stupid at usin horse, i am dragon i dntneed to win fast, i take my time, if u think u can beat me in rush, gl
