How to Train you Inferno Dragon 2

Our Inferno Dragon’s are heating up and soaring to new levels with recent upgrades. As we have seen the Dragon’s available to us in the Dragon Dimension expand it is not a surprise that we now see those Dragon’s increasing in levels. Today we will take a closer look at the new levels for our Inferno Dragon. However, before we really dive in make sure you are up to date on the first Inferno Dragon by going back and reading up on it!

How to Train your Inferno Dragon

The Details

Our Dragon’s Den is continuing to evolve as the game progresses. We are now up to 4 Dragons all with their own level cap. Our Inferno Dragon now goes to level 100 and I am sure we can be expecting to see more dragons follow suit with higher levels and higher stats. When entering your Dragon’s Den you will currently see:

The Reborn Dragon (Max Level 150)
The Inferno Dragon (Max Level 100)
The Hydro Dragon (Max Level 50)
The Terra Dragon (Max Level 50)

We are familiar with the Inferno Dragon as it was the first of the three specialized Dragons that were released. However, today let’s take a look at the increased skills and recommendations for skilling for every player type.

Dragon Eradication: Infantry Attack and Infantry Attack on Battle Marked Target (Max: 20,000%)

New Inferno Levels for Defenders

When we look at new Inferno levels for defenders we again want to look at what stats to prioritize when skilling. Remember that all of your Dragons when at home will help to defend your empire. So quarantine those Dragons and remember that just like you they are safer at home. While new Dragons have limited stats for Defenders they are still very effective in helping make our defense stronger so knowing what to focus on for skills is essential.

New Inferno Levels for Attackers

Next up we are going to look at new Inferno Levels for Attackers. There are more stats to focus on as an attacker. We will see your Inferno taking an edge in strength as it achieves higher levels. So far we have been able to test a level 73 Inferno against a level 45 Hydro and level 43 Terra. Remember that the Hydro and Terra slightly beat out our Inferno to Level 50 on stats.

While we do not currently see a huge difference between a level 73 Inferno and Hydro or Terra that are in the 40s we did see some key things that we wanted to point out in these tests.

Test One

For the first set of tests, our attacker hit with each Dragon with a mixed march. The only factor changing between hits being the Dragon that was used. We have charted the results to help you look at them side by side.

Tests	Inferno	Hydro	Terra
Defender
Overall Killed	1.58m	1.56m	1.56m
Hospitalized	1.41m	1.39m	1.39m
Killed	106,157	104,891	104,716
Dragon HP Lost	62,452	61,828	61,844
Attacker
Overall Killed	3.21m	3.21m	3.21m
Troops Killed	3.19m	3.19m	3.19m
Dragon HP Lost	24,594	24,418	23,796

Test Two

For our second set of tests we once again did a hit with each Dragon but used the troop type they specialized in with them instead of a mixed march.

Tests	Inferno	Hydro	Terra
Defender
Overall Killed	1.6m	1.54m	1.55m
Hospitalized	1.43m	1.37m	1.39m
Killed	107,382	103,298	104,256
Dragon HP Lost	63,403	61,620	61,693
Attacker
Overall Killed	3.21m	3.21m	3.21m
Troops Killed	3.19m	3.19m	3.19m
Dragon HP Lost	23,359	22,908	22,848

What do we know?

What we know from these tests can be summarized into a few points.

The new levels of the Inferno Dragon are hitting harder than the older Dragons however, the difference is small with the levels we tested. It remains to be seen how even higher level Infernos will compare however, it can only get better!
It is more beneficial to send a type march than a mixed march with your Dragon. As our Defender was an even mix on troops and was still hit harder by type marches.

Skill Focus for Attackers

The Skill priority focus for attackers will look like this:

Dragon Annihilation
Dragon Essence
Dragon Pride
Dragon Eradication
Dragon Heart

New Inferno Levels for Wonder Players

Finally, last but not least let’s take a look at new Inferno Levels for Wonder Players. For this player type, we are going to see increased stats as well to help in Wonder Play.

Realtips for Skilling the new Dragon Levels

We have looked at the stats provided and who they help. We have looked at the impact of new Dragon levels for attackers. Now let’s talk about the strategy behind how to skill. This applies no matter what type of player you are.

Skill all the way down as low as you can on the skill tree using minimal points.
Starting from the bottom of the skills tree fill the skills that you are focusing on until you cannot anymore and work your way up.

The reason we skill this way is we want to be sure we are putting our skill points in the boxes that will give us the most bang for our buck. The skills at the bottom tree are going to have higher stats and so you want to be sure you fill those boxes first.

What about the Inferno Boost

Quick Details:

The Boost is only useful to those with an Inferno Dragon above Level 50
The Boost is no longer available for sale but can still be used.
Leads are able to maintain this boost with anti-scout
We are seeing the biggest impact of rallies with this boost.

The Inferno boost can and will do some damage to an account. There are two ways you can combat this boost:

Stats
Setup

The best defense is definitely a combination of those two factors. We did some testing to see what works best. The account we tested had a high Ranged, Low Cav Troop set up with the infantry troops count falling somewhere between those two.

For the first four hits, only our Attacker changed things. We were able to see that the synergy boost is most effective when used with mercs. After the first four hits for every hit, our attacker sent the same march with merc and our defender changed different factors to see how they influenced the outcome. Here are the things we observed:

Merc versus no merc in our defenders base did not make a huge difference.
No Cav in our defenders base was the most effective defense
Hydro and Ranged Rein on their own did not make a big difference
However, Hydro and Ranged rein together made a slight difference. We did not test Ranged rein and the Inferno Dragon as rein, however, due to the higher type stats on an inferno Dragon over level 50, this may be an even more effective defense.

The concern

A Concern with this setup, of course, is leaving ourselves with other weaknesses. We have no Cav troops to kill off ranged marches and high ranged leaves us vulnerable to Cav marches. So we tested to see what would happen in a No Cav setup with high ranged. Results on these hits showed us that attackers are able to use those weaknesses to those advantages, however, we still do better than we would against an attacker with the Synergy boost with Cav troops in our base.
