{{user commentary|
Even though in the game files themselves the Crystal Dragon and other neutral dragons are considered to be level 7, the official editor shows they are level 10 (8 for [[Faerie Dragon]]). This is either due to code limitations and impossibility of creating a unit with tier higher than 7, either because the developers didn't have time, motivation or reason to add a new creature level in the game code and invest time in that, just telling us they are level 10, respectively 8. As such, even now their levels are still being debated.
----
They are also the second strongest creature in the game in raw stats, the first being the [[Azure Dragon]]. Crystal Dragons can also be [[Resurrection|resurrected]], probably due to their magical heart, even though they are at one point referred to as [[Golem|golems]] in the campaign.

=== Toughness ===
Crystal Dragons have the second highest defense and health value, right behind the [[Azure Dragon]]. In all stages of the game, these dragons are terrible foes, fast and hard to get rid of.

=== Offense ===
Just like toughness, they have the second highest attack and damage value in the whole game. With their fast speed and excellent stats, they are the perfect troop to kill and block the enemy archers and withstand the blows of the enemy.

=== Efficiency and cost ===
For a pretty high cost in gold {{g}}, these dragons are still a good deal. However, don't rely only on them and make sure you have money for other troops too.

=== Tactics ===
There are not that many strategies involving them, since they are a pretty simple, but effective creature. Fast speed allows them to reach any unit on the battlefield, and high stats make them effective tanks and attackers at the same time. However, unlike all other dragons, '''Crystal Dragons do not fly''', so they will have to navigate around obstacles (their high speed helps) and will be blocked by castle walls and moats.

=== Skill bonuses ===
If you want your dragons to be even scarier, [[Offense]] and [[Armorer]] are excellent choices, skills from which most other creatures benefit from.
