The Dread Knights are considered to be the best level 6 unit, alongside the Naga Queens. They also have the highest attack, defense and health for a level 6 unit, accompanied by the largest damage range and max damage (together with the Naga Queens who have a fixed damage value). However, the weaknesses of the Bone and Ghost Dragons compensates for their strength. They should be used as a powerful striking force, since they will both deal much damage to the enemy and also resist attacks pretty well. In one-on-one combat with no stats bonus, a Dread Knight defeats a Naga Queen only if their Death Blow triggers. |
