Why it is good to have a dragon in your clancastle...

If a cc containing a dragon is not lured, it can be a destructive beast - perhaps one of your strongest defenses (especially at Th7 and below), but if it is lured, even a max level 4 dragon can be taken down with 15-20 lvl 6 archers.

One lightning on archers and they're all dead and they can all be lured to a corner and popped a lot easier than a dragon.

That's a really strong word for a video game, don't you think?

I gotta disagree with you. Assuming CC is lurable, a drag is far, far, far easier to lure and kill than archers.

Takes a little longer, but when I'm raiding for resources I rarely use more than 2.5 minutes even with the time used to lure CC and heroes.

Can you kill 30 archers of ANY level with 8 archers and 2 minions? Because that normally handles a level 2 or 3 drag. Need about 12 bows and 3 or 4 minions to toast a level 4.

I'll take wizards over a drag for defense ANY day.

I think the dragon is the most overrated unit in the game by a longshot.

If it weren't for the damn disco balls I don't think I'd ever cook another one except to donate.

The trick is to use teslas or something to make the giants/bloons/hogs never go into the CC luring zone unless they deploy the entire army (or a hefty chunk of it). You can also just space the base out SO far with walls that no troop could go near the CC.

It is very common knowledge that there is no such thing as an 'unlurable' cc. Sending in two hog riders can attract 30 archers from your precious cc in the center of your base. I simply do not understand how you could have a cc that is not in the complete center and you believe its unlurable. I'd love to see a picture of it! I'm sure I will understand why you think it is unlurable, but I think we'll be able to point out a few flaws! ;)

Yeah, wall breakers can usually do the same thing.

5 lv5 wizards are much better.

Come up to high cups and every second attack is Drags... I'm not saying they can't be lured and killed but they are difficult to destroy on harder bases with defence items tucked in corners for lurers. If you're farming in Gold 2 it's a different story :rolleyes:

Seriously dude...that's ridiculous. How many times have you seen someone try to drop a lightning on a drag?
I've NEVER seen it.

However, several times a week I get to watching noobs try to lightning high level wizards with their level 3 spells.

wow he was cooking! Dragon Chef

Fair enough. I haven't spent much time above 2600...everything up there is a whole different ballgame I'm sure, and I'm also willing to wager that every second counts during high cup play.
