Opponents cannot target them with spells or attacks and they cannot be affected by anything while they are invulnerable, even if a player has Orb of Vulnerability.

Some may find the information in this section subjective or irrelevant.

Couatls and Crimson Couatls are statistically weak for level 7 creatures, however their strength lies in the meditation ability. This can allow you to cast Armageddon without taking any damage, although you will need another unit to cast the spell from if you don't have Crimson Couatls yet. Once upgraded to Crimson Couatls, the units can also dive the opponent's shooters and meditate to avoid taking damage.

Couatls are much cheaper than Dreadnoughts, making them ideal as your first tier 7 to build or for shorter maps. They're also the fastest creature available to Factory, both unupgraded and especially upgraded.
