Dracon's special ability is formidable. Even so powerful that he is typically disabled in custom made maps. While you should have no reasonable difficulty using Dracon as a main hero during the single player campaign, he could also be used as an [[enchanter]]-upgrading-support-hero sitting in a town garrison or following your main hero.


Troops under the effects of the [[Slayer]] spell receive additional attack when targeting dragons.
