“Can't stop, won't stop! Evolved Electro Dragon's attack will chain between targets infinitely and can hit the same target more than once.”
The Electro Dragon Evolution is a Epic card that is unlocked with 6 Evolution Shards. It spawns an Electro Dragon with identical stats to the original. The Evolved Electro Dragon launches an attack that hits its target, which will arc and strike up at another target within 4 tiles of each other. This attack will infinitely bounce between all troops until only one remains alive. Its stun effect will be lost and the attack will travel 20% slower after the first 3 hits. The Electro Dragon Evolution costs 5 Elixir and requires 1 cycle to deploy.
Strategy[]
- The Evolved Electro Dragon's infinitely chaining bolts are incredibly powerful against large pushes. Anything within 4 tiles of another troop will be constantly damaged by the lightning. This will stack as the Evolved Electro Dragon continues attacking, shredding units with hitpoints and taking out swarms with ease.
- Single units, such as a lone Giant, will not be affected by the chain lightning since there's nothing to chain onto. This keeps its firepower identical to the regular Electro Dragon and significantly less threatening.
- The Evolved Electro Dragon’s infinitely chaining attack is extremely effective at destroying a Witch or Night Witch, along their Skeletons and Bats. It will also repeatedly chain off the spawned troops and deal damage to them, delaying additional spawns with the stun until they’re inevitably defeated.
- Letting the Evolved Electro Dragon connect to the Crown Tower can give some long term benefits to the player during the match.
- When the Evolved Electro Dragon is about to attack the Crown Tower, deploy a troop 1 tile behind and 2 tiles to the side of it. This troop should preferably be alone and cheap, like an Ice Spirit. After deploying it, the troop will capture the lightning’s attention and hit it before chaining over to the King Tower, activating it for the rest of the match.
- Ignoring the Evolved Electro Dragon is no different from the regular Electro Dragon as long as other units aren’t near the Crown Tower. Players can take advantage of this by conserving their Elixir in turn for moderate chip damage under the Tower Princess and Dagger Duchess and minor chip damage under the Cannoneer.
- Like the regular Electro Dragon, Lightning and Rocket can fully counter the Evolved Electro Dragon for a slight negative Elixir trade.
- Using small swarms as distractions, like Goblins and Minions, are mostly ineffective against the Evolved Electro Dragon. His lightning will continue to attack the groups after the initial 3 bolts, killing them quickly and essentially wasting the user’s Elixir.
- Conversely, mini tanks, including Knight and Mighty Miner, work as effective distractions for the Evolved Electro Dragon. Their high hitpoints and lack of count absorb the bolts and keep them from chaining, giving ample time for the Crown Towers to take him out for a positive Elixir trade.
- Long ranged high DPS troops, like Musketeer and Dart Goblin, are the best counters to the Evolved Electro Dragon. Their high DPS and long range allows them take advantage of the Evolved Electro Dragon’s slower movement speed to easily whittle down its hitpoints from afar for a positive Elixir trade.
- Never deploy your counter to the Evolved Electro Dragon next to the Crown Tower. If it’s within the chain range, the lightning will bounce off the Crown Tower and hit the troop again. In this case, the Evolved Electro Dragon would’ve hit the Crown Tower twice and damaged your counter.
- He is a fantastic counter against Elixir Golem. Once the Elixir Golem itself is destroyed, he will split into the Golemites, which will be repeatedly damaged by the chaining lightning and be swiftly defeated. Furthermore, they will split into Blobs, which, just like the Golemites, will be ravaged by the chaining lightning.
- The Evolved Electro Dragon is somewhat fragile for its Elixir cost, so it’s best to use him in tandem with other units to get the most value out of him.
- For example, deploying him behind a Golem allows his bolts to more easily interrupt potential counters, such as Inferno Tower and Skeleton Army. The Golem will then continue to take attacks from the Crown Tower and defending units, keeping the Evolved Electro Dragon alive to interrupt the opponent’s defenses.
- The Evolved Electro Dragon is a great counter to the Skeleton Barrel. His attacks, with the Crown Tower’s assistance, are capable of taking out the Barrel itself while the chaining bolts will wipe out all the spawned Skeletons. If done early enough, this will fully negate the Skeleton Barrel and give the user a chance to counterattack.
