Summary

The Dragon is the ninth Elixir troop unlocked at Barracks level 9, which requires Town Hall level 7.
He is a fearsome flying unit capable of attacking both ground and air units , with both high health and damage. Similar to the Wizard , the Dragon's attacks are ranged and deal splash damage, observed when he attacks enemy troops that overlap or over walls.
Dragons have no preferred target when attacking; they will simply attack the closest building . However, if they become aware of enemy Clan Castle troops , Heroes , or Skeleton Trap skeletons (either by being attacked themselves or by being near another friendly troop under attack), and can fight back against them, they will leave their previously targeted building and instead engage the enemy troops. Once all of the nearby enemy troops are defeated, the Dragons will proceed to attack the nearest structure.

Strategies

Dragon strategies involve taking out as many Air Defenses and Air Sweepers as possible with other units ( Barbarians , Giants , etc.) or Lightning Spells , and even the Giant Arrow from the Archer Queen can help, as they are a significant threat to this powerful unit.
Bring some Barbarians, Minions or Archers to take out buildings in the corners to prevent wasting a whole Dragon for it, and to prevent the dragons from going in different directions.
The Rage Spell and Dragon are like bread and butter. Dragons are slow but deal high damage per attack, so using a pure-Dragon army with Rage Spells can be effective. Since Dragons are air units this also saves the time of them moving through Walls significantly. Try to spread Dragons along the edge of the base, as they will converge in the middle of the battle when you have reached the base's center. Then place a Rage Spell for mass destruction to the core of the base. Make sure you have funneled correctly, though.

A powerful strategy uses a combination of Dragons and Balloons . Dragons can tank the Air Defenses and Wizard Towers while Balloons target the Defensive Buildings and help by activating the Seeking Air Mines to counter Dragons. Which spells to bring and use ultimately depend on the layout of the defending base - an attacker should have a plan to destroy every Air Defense as fast as possible, whether that involves extra Balloons, Lightning Spells, Earthquake Spells , Healing Spells , ranged Hero Equipment , Siege Machines or Rage Spells. At Town Halls 8 to 10, some careless opponents might poorly bunch together their Air Defenses together, making them much more vulnerable to spells. If they have a lot of resources, a Dragon raid is usually the best option as they can devastate the entire base once Air Defenses are taken out.

When using mass Dragon raids, one should be careful of buildings in the corners, because their relatively slow movement speed does not make it great for moving around from corner to corner. To prevent this, attackers should bring some Archers or Minions or even save a hero (such as Barbarian King ) to take out lone buildings in the corners; it might mean the difference between a 99% 2 star & 100% 3 star. A level 4 or higher Clan Castle can hold a Haste Spell which can be used to speed up the Dragons if time is short, though Haste Spells are better used for a frontal assault. Some opponents may also put Hidden Teslas in a corner which is also called a Troll Tesla or Corner Tesla, which staves off lesser cleanup troops. This means either using a hero or a dragon is necessary.

Dragons will attack the Barbarian King and Clan Castle troops that cannot target air units if these troops are the closest target, despite their lack of anti-air capabilities. Be careful as these troops can distract your Dragons from attacking other more threatening targets, wasting time. If the Barbarian King does not move near defenses, one can simply avoid deploying Dragons near him and use other air troops, as the Dragon's high housing space makes it a huge waste anyway.

A strong attacking combination, known as Hydra (Hybrid Dragon), involves using Dragons with the Dragon Riders . The latter can tank and attack enemy defenses, while Dragons attack Clan Castle troops and aerial Skeletons from air-set Skeleton Traps that might get in the way. Balloons can also be used to tank for Seeking Air Mines, therefore increasing the Hydra's survivability.

Dragons can also be used to counter Clan Castle troops (especially other types of Dragons) before the main attack. Use small troops to bait the Clan Castle troops to a corner, then drop two or three of your own Dragons to take out whatever is inside the Clan Castle and to continue the main attack later. However, if there are a lot of splash air troops, then try and spread them out so that they all do not get hit at the same time.

Defensive Strategies

Dragons are one of the most powerful troops in the game, and as such it can be difficult to defend against them. Multiple high-level Air Defenses and good Seeking Air Mine placement is critical for success when defending against a Dragon army.
As a Town Hall 8 player, keeping your Air Defenses semi-spread while protecting them with storages and other high-hitpoint buildings is the key to preventing most 3-star attacks using Dragons. If the Air Defenses are too close together, a single Rage Spell applied to a cluster of Dragons can quickly wipe out all three. Also, if two are placed close enough, an Earthquake Spell and 3 Lightning Spells can destroy both. At higher Town Hall levels, this may only require 3 Lightning Spells at a relative level.

Dragons are wonderful Clan Castle troops, especially at lower Town Hall levels where options are limited. As a flying unit, the Dragon is completely immune to attacks from most ground troops available at this point, with its splash damage capability making quick work of Barbarians and Goblins . Its high health also helps it survive attacks from even multiple Archers or Wizards (although a large group of either will usually be enough to destroy the Dragon or two). However, you can spread your Archers and Wizards in a semi or whole circle around the Dragon. This exploits the fact that Dragons have a slow attack-speed. Dragon-based armies usually do not suffer from this issue, as they will have the necessary offense to neutralize lone defending Dragons. At higher levels, Dragons may not do enough damage to cripple or kill any troops, limiting their defensive value in comparison with more powerful ones like the Electro Dragon . However, they can still serve this role, but you may need to back it up with other troops like Witches or any sort of high damage troop.

The Air Sweeper can stall Dragons up for a very long time. Protect them and cover the Air Defenses with their range for maximum effectiveness. However, make sure one cannot place a few Lightning Spells and Earthquake Spell to destroy both an Air Defense and an Air Sweeper, else the attacker could get a lot of value, rendering these defenses useless.

The first person to have reached over 4,000 trophies (Jorge Yao) used an all-Dragon army to do so. He used 4 Lightning Spells (in their past iteration, taking two spaces with six random bolts) as support, one to take out Clan Castle troops and the rest to destroy an Air Defense . This was his way to ensure 50% damage practically every time he attacked in order to become the top player and achieve this amazing feat.
You can have a maximum of 17 Dragons at one time in a complete set of fully upgraded Army Camps . This number increases to 19 if you include 2 that can fit into a level 8 or higher Clan Castle . On the battlefield, you can clone an additional 8 Dragons with four fully upgraded Clone Spells (three from the regular spell inventory and one from a level 10 or higher Clan Castle). These total to a maximum of 27 Dragons.
The purple Dragon icon shown in the Barracks is actually a level 2 Dragon. The Dragon changes from green to purple after upgrading to level 2, matching his image in the Barracks. Prior to September 19, 2012 update, Dragons were always purple and did not update their appearances whatsoever. They also had a way different appearance.

According to Supercell , the Dragon was originally going to appear in Clash Royale , but was replaced with the Baby Dragon due to his extremely large wings.
The Dragon received new art as of the May 23, 2013 update; the new Dragon receives forelegs along with a line of small spikes down his neck and back. This new look often debated among fellow players to which one looks the 'best', along with the P.E.K.K.A .
Oddly, the Dragon's shadow is oval rather than dragon-shaped.
The level 3 Dragon originally had fiery eyes until the May 23, 2013 update, which usurped to the level 4 Dragon.
The Dragon's upon-death skeleton like most other troops is human-shaped, despite not being a human.
The Dragon has many variants, being the Super Dragon , Baby Dragon , Inferno Dragon , Electro Dragon , Dragon Rider , Azure Dragon , and the Giant Dragon/Golden Dragon .
The level 1-4 Dragons have very thin gaps going through the base of the wing. However, this is barely noticeable.
Like any flying troop, Dragons can ignore Walls and so do not target them, though their splash damage enables them to hit walls unintentionally if a ground unit gets too close. This is similar with Balloons and Baby Dragons.
The January 2013 update added Dark Elixir , stating that this resource is formed over eons from fossilized Black Dragon (then-maxed level 3 Dragon) bones. However, training or upgrading Dragons never involves Dark Elixir. This is more likely a reference over oil, a fossil fuel because Inferno Towers were powered by them.

An event lasted from 29 January, 2015 through February 5, 2015, during which the Dragon's training speed was 5 times faster, along with the Barbarian .
The level 1 Dragon being green matches up with it being a young Dragon as the Baby Dragon is also green. However, the Baby Dragon has much different significant changes than the Dragon himself.
