Inferno Dragon

"Shoots a focused beam of fire that increases in damage over time. Wears a helmet because flying can be dangerous."

Summary

 * The Inferno Dragon is unlocked from the P.E.K.K.A's Playhouse (Arena 4)
 * It is a single-target, short-ranged troop with both high hitpoints and damage.
 * An Inferno Dragon card costs 4 Elixir to deploy.
 * The Inferno Dragon's damage increases over time as it remains focused on a single target, similar to the Inferno Tower.

Strategy

 * Pairing the Inferno Dragon with the Baby Dragon could be a good strategy since they cover each other's weaknesses. This is known as the Double Dragon combo, which is the air troop analogue of the Double Prince combo (single target high damage + area damage).
 * When defending, it is advised to never let the Inferno Dragon lock onto a Crown Tower.
 * If it does manage to attack a tower, one of the best methods to stall its attack is by using Freeze or the Ice Spirit. They could prevent it from dealing massive DPS for a few seconds, which could easily save most of the health of a Crown Tower.
 * A Zap also works, as it will reset the Inferno Dragon's beam and may cause it to change targets.
 * A Minion Horde can also easily destroy an Inferno Dragon but at a 1 Elixir loss.
 * However, the opponent will have to counter the remaining Minions to prevent a large amount of damage from being dealt upon the Crown Tower, which will put the opponent at an Elixir disadvantage.
 * An Inferno Dragon can be countered with an Inferno Tower, but also at a 1 Elixir loss.
 * However, the Inferno Tower will attack first, due to the longer range.
 * A Tombstone may be very useful to stall an Inferno Dragon, but note that they will not do damage to the Inferno Dragon.
 * A Witch could be used to similar effect, and if placed correctly, the Inferno Dragon will lock on to the Skeletons spawned, while the Witch does damage to the Inferno Dragon. However, note that this will also result in an Elixir loss.
 * An Inferno Dragon can take out tanks, such as Giants and Golems, and can be an advantage because it can be used to create a push.
 * However, you should be sure to take out any counters to the Inferno Dragon if it prevents killing the tanks or if you want to create a push with it.

History

 * The Inferno Dragon will be released on 30/9/16.

Trivia

 * The Inferno Dragon will be the fastest attacking troop card with a hit speed of 0.4 sec.
 * It will also be the fastest attacking Legendary card.
 * The Inferno Dragon's attack is similar to that of the Inferno Tower, in which it builds up damage over time.
