Dragon Boss Seems a bit too Tough

[Wanderercgc]

I've gotten to the Dragon boss several times at this point. This last time I had 6 ballista with 2 upgrades, 3 catapults with 2 upgrades, 3 healers with 2 upgrades, 4 baked dragons with all upgrades and 8 peasants.

When I took off the first quarter of health it flew across the field with a breath attack that killed all the peasants, all the healers, 2 baked dragons, 5 ballista and 2 catapults. Using magic and trying to rebuild the army I took the 2nd quarter off and the breath attack wiped whatever army I had rebuilt.

I know the difficulty is being tweaked as I've seen streamers beat it with far less from a few months ago. I'm mostly posting this as feedback, but suggestions are appreciated if offered.

I just beat it with 1 ballista, 2 madmen, 1 sword man, 1 crossbow, 1 fire mage, 1 healer, and 1 peasant to fill my slot. I just had enough resources by that point to just keep pumping my army back out and wearing the dragon down. Just make sure you set up your buildings so that you can build 6 at a time. i left healers and peasants for last

Have you considered getting gud ?

[Keith Hays]

Stock up as many freeze and stun spells as possible. I've been able to nail it twice before it ever got off the ground and breathed fire. I'm not an advanced player by any means - 434 is my highest score.

Don't sent all your troops at once. Make use of the Barracks and send them in custom waves.

Just beat dragon and made it to turn 464 used - 8 swordsman 3 archers 10 militia 3 beast hunters 3 ballista, think i had 8 peasants for backup that didnt use. Also had invincibility/freeze Spell, If you can get artifacts like spawning archers each wave/Stun those help alot sadly i didnt have on that run and after dragon no more prophecy, setup i had he never even got to his flying attack

you can use the magic, like tornado can try to move him to another line so it can cause it terminate your troop just limited. or some control skill, freeze, stun, turn sheep when it near the next life bar. before updated this was 100% winning trick , but now... depend on your luck sometime its work sometime its won't, this actually quite sick , and for my own opinion only militia, catapult, healer, fire magician is useful, the most strongest unit that use the diamond to summon one is good to vs boss but after dragon boss it's become useless. the cavalier i really don't get point i try to fully upgrade but it's still useless, in endless mode just the first charge it's already die within 1 sec, really ? what the point? the bread dragon just like sword man plus++ has a nice dmg but it's can't hold the line like militia (some more it's cost more to train) . the fire mage just fully upgrade and just one building is enough, it's the most strongest dps in game( for single unit) the ballista is actually quite good unit but for single unit we got fire mage for ground unit we got catapult due to limited building upgrade so i pass this. for my own build is always 6 catapult(2 building), 5 fire mage(1 building), 10 militia(2 building), 3 healer(1 building) just fix to max 24 unit XD. this almost 100% can pass final weave. if you at least 2 magic university it's easy to pass until 700++, last record was try to use 3 magic university to pass till 884 wave

I appreciate the suggestions everyone. Thank you for the feedback.

try again but do better

my dumb strat that worked was just spam peasants and fire mages
peasants occupy the dragon, cost nothing and with 4 huts can be respawned super fast
fully upgraded mages burn through the dragons healthbars pretty fast

[MonoPan]

A) Beast hunters: At least 3 to disable the dragon to take off in time (white bar must fill up).
B) Save invincibilty spells (or cheese it with sheep/freeze/stun, though you need many).
C) Scare crow spell can lure the dragon to the edge, so his breath attack misses your (ranged) troops

i've done a peasants only and beat the dragon. it was actually quite a fun run.

[Schnippo]

Na, Dragon is fine

[PosQuanChi]

doable

[golftheeraphat]

skill mid-tier army
Aim to catapult+ ballista. probably dragon and crystal
aim upgrade and artefact
do not use these magic late game, keep it to counter dragon fire: heal, immortal, sheep, freeze, probably banish

[Grizwaldo]

Hunters disable the special moves on bosses as long as they can get a couple attacks off. They stop the dragon from taking off and doing his breath sweep, which makes him almost trivial
