Dragon Rider strengths and weaknesses
Strengths
- Its single target damage is efficient against individual high hitpoint targets.
- With the 6th highest hitpoints in the Elixir Troops category, it can absorb a fair amount of damage.
Weaknesses
- It can only attack ground targets, so it offers nothing against air defences and needs support from units that can hit air.
- Because it only hits one target at a time, it can be overwhelmed by large groups of defending troops.
- At 25 housing space it is expensive to field in numbers, so it is usually brought as a small core of an army.
