Overview of Troops in Dragonstone War What types of troops are there in Dragonstone War?

Dragonstone War is a strategy game beloved by players, with its rich system of troop types and intricate relationships of checks and balances providing players with a vast strategic space. In the overview of Dragonstone War troop introductions, you can see the troop types available for use. These troops each have their own roles on the battlefield, working together to form the player's powerful army. Of course, there are some characteristics in the combinations that everyone needs to understand clearly; troop types are not used haphazardly.

In the game, troop types are mainly divided into three major categories: ground, air, and hybrid, with each category further subdivided into various advanced branches such as infantry, cavalry, archers, and mages. In aerial-to-ground combat, flying combat units have a clear suppressive advantage. For example, flame dragons can effectively counter stone golems and tunneling worker ants. However, when facing guard towers equipped with armor-piercing crossbows and elemental controllers' electric net binding skills, flying units also need to be cautious.

Secondly, swarm and pinpoint tactics are also crucial aspects of troop utilization. Light units rely on numbers to break through high-attack defenses but are vulnerable to area-of-effect attacks. For instance, the lava eruption of the Flameburst Mage and the chain lightning of the Storm Warden can disintegrate swarms. The mutual control between light and heavy troops requires shielded phalanx soldiers to defend against cavalry charges while maintaining formation stability. When Rangers encounter the Frost Priestess's Winter Domain slow effect, they are easily surrounded by heavy units. In terms of range and assault, Longbowmen and Arcane Scholars output damage from a distance, maintaining a safe distance of three body lengths from melee units. When Shadow Blade Assassins infiltrate the backline, activating the Shield Guard's support skill becomes critical.

Besides tactical application, enhancing the strength of troop types is key to winning wars. Spending wisdom crystals in the War Academy to research technology and military management routes can increase the population cap and the variety of troops that can be fielded. Meanwhile, spending wisdom crystals in the Training Grounds can boost attributes like health, attack, damage bonus, and damage reduction. Additionally, upgrading soldiers to a maximum of 15 levels using special training manuals in the soldier interface can significantly enhance their base attributes.

Special training manuals come from alliance donation rewards. Before level 10, soldiers' levels are synchronized and shared, but after level 10, separate manuals are required to upgrade levels. Notably, hero quality can also enhance soldier levels; for example, dual mythic+ heroes can boost up to 8 levels, making the highest possible soldier level 23. Some special troop types have unique abilities, such as slowing effects that can negate the advantages of fast cavalry or silencing skills that can render mages powerless. When facing these special troop types, players should understand their skills in advance and develop targeted tactics, choosing to either prioritize eliminating special troops or using other troops to counteract their special abilities.

Archers can lock onto airborne targets, leveraging their range advantage to fire deadly arrows from a safe distance. However, even though flying units occupy the high ground, they cannot be careless when facing mages. Therefore, flying units always maintain aerial mobility, constantly searching for weak points in the ground defense. On the ground battlefield, archers are the most suitable opponents for melee units, relying on their long-range to strike from a safe rear position.

Melee units, to get close to archers, must penetrate layers of arrow rain, so they have to rely on flexible positioning and use terrain and objects as cover. Archers also need to pay attention to their distance from melee units. Of course, besides their ranged weapons, archers also have some melee capabilities and can switch to melee weapons, but their melee output is not as strong as their ranged. Therefore, there is no "strongest" troop type in the game; every troop type has both strengths and weaknesses.

From the overview of Dragonstone War troop introductions, it is clear that understanding the relationships of checks and balances among troop types and reasonably combining them for battle is key to winning Dragonstone War. By continuously optimizing tactical systems and enhancing troop strength, players can build their own invincible armies.
