How big is dragon actually?

When you see dragon it's way big(like 3 x 4 squares)
but then when you see dragon's shadow, which shows its actual position, it's only 1 x 1 square. How big is dragon actually?

Info could be useful when using spells.

I am not in COC, but da dragon is. If myself was attacking in COC raid or war, I would want to know what size I am so I can rage or heal spell me. haha

Or in this case even the same shape :rolleyes:

Who knows? Who cares?

However, to be helpful, for spell purposes, use the shadow.
If you only catch a dragons head in the spell, even though thats the attacking bit, it wont be affected.
That little 1 sq shadow is your friend.

Yup that make total sense.
Also bc it's one tile and dragon positions a tile above its shadow,
dragon attack from bottom air D's range looks shorter,
but when attacking from top Air D range looks longer.

It can be hard to judge and it is pretty easy to borrow too much and leave your dragon(s) unraged while they make their way into the area of effect (at excruciating slow speed), or to waste part of the effect of the rage by sticking it right on them.

Thinking about it, the shadow should obviously be your point of reference and your spell should be placed in relation to that. It is so obvious :o

Yes. Quite. Alarming how many people dont know....
Been teaching a rather half-assed feeder the ways of war for a while now. We moved past general clueless spell use, to using right spells in vaguely right time and place.
When i told folks to put spells slightly ahead of drags to maximise the effect, they were just about grazing the tips of the noses, bless them.
Shadow is the way forward. A spells rear edge just containing all of the shadow being perfect.

em.. coc light source is always like about 20 degree to north from perpendicular to the base plane, which makes rage rely on dragon on air could bring eye illusional failure when attacked from bottom. vise versa on D wave from Top. Not so obvious since spells are on the ground not making cylindrical volumic shape to show actual stack position of 2. but could learn from experience i think.

Errrr ok.
The last sentence there is the only one that matters.
