Wyverns have unappealing statistics in comparison to other level 6 units, being similar in strength as [[Manticore and Scorpicore|manticores]]. Unlike other level 6 creatures, their dwelling can be built extremely early - even as early as day 1, giving players a noticeable early game advantage.

They are considered to be the worst level 6 unit statistically, together with the [[Manticore and Scorpicore|manticores and scorpicores]], bearing under-average health. However, they can be "farmed" on certain maps or templates from one or more [[Dragon Fly Hive|Dragon Fly Hives]], sometimes resulting in Wyverns being the strongest stack in the army. The Wyvern Monarchs can also be used to [[poison]] enemy stacks, lowering their max health by 10% for three turns.
The upgrade to wyvern monarchs is extremely good - it grants a 25% increase of damage output, and a very good speed of 11. It also gives a chance to poison the enemy while attacking - which, while being unreliable, can turn the tide of the fight to your favour. However, keep in mind that poisoned creatures will be [[resurrection|resurrected]] faster. Wyvern Monarchs are useful when sieging towns, as they are the strongest flying unit of Fortress.

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

Wyverns have unappealing statistics in comparison to other level 6 units, being similar in strength as manticores. Unlike other level 6 creatures, their dwelling can be built extremely early - even as early as day 1, giving players a noticeable early game advantage. Additionally, if there are any Dragon Fly Hives available, the number of wyverns can easily outnumber other level 6 units, becoming the main powerstack of the army - even for factions other than Fortress.

The upgrade to wyvern monarchs is extremely good - it grants a 25% increase of damage output, and a very good speed of 11. It also gives a chance to poison the enemy while attacking - which, while being unreliable, can turn the tide of the fight to your favour. However, keep in mind that poisoned creatures will be resurrected faster. Wyvern Monarchs are useful when sieging towns, as they are the strongest flying unit of Fortress.
