Level 5 the dragon Rider

[vaughn4444]

Clearly I hate stupid dragon flying away from air defense so a dragon rider can direct dragon to enemy air defense also no air defense they attack xbow or inferno towers.

Two they take much less damage from inferno towers.

And now it can shoot fires balls two defense.
fireballs are stronger the regular fire attack from dragon.
Dragon keeps shooting fire balls until defense is destroyed.

And when attacked by troops it can go in reverse while straying fire or stay in same spot if it has no where to go.

Color grey.

Offensive attack.

Please add to might this happen.

well there isn't a troop like this but i don't think it will be added because its too similar to the dragon and if there is a troop that needs a buff its the healer which no one really uses especially with inferno towers now

Well the healer at level 5 should heal dragons and minions at level 6 should be should to use heal spell level 5.

Also at level 5 healers should be able to heal eachother if you have more then one.

I post this but I didn't make a thread.

Based on the title of this thread, I assumed he meant that there should be a level 5 upgrade for the dragon, which would add a rider to the dragon. As such, the dragon would get a new AI in addition to upgraded stats. Basically, it would get an AI similar to the lava hound? Target AD first, then defense, then everything else? But also have the ability to back away from CC troops while continuing to shoot at them? Sounds overly complicated.

I like the idea of the rider at level 5, just to make the dragon more visually interesting (besides just another color change). I don't know of any other units that get an AI buff for leveling up, but I suppose that could be pretty cool for the dragon.

Dragons will become overpowered.

Maybe level 5 drag has no more damage or hitpoints than level 4 but instead gets rider that makes him smarter. Rider shoots nothing, only makes dragon smarter. Rider also has lower hitpoints than dragon and can get shot off dragon at which point the dragon turns stupid again. So dragons would start raid smart, but before too long (depending on how many hits) their rider dies and they turn stupid.

I agree, along with the idea that the visuals should change.

However, actually change the AI .... no. It's part of the strategy of the game per se, because you have to figure a way to direct the dragon (in a way). Dragons are TH7/8 troops, and that's it.

Best. Idea. Ever

It would stop all those Dragon AI complaints, this needs to be implemented soon.
