Ghost dragons have the special ability ''aging'', which has a 20% chance to occur after they have attacked a creature stack and before the stack has a chance to [[Retaliation|retaliate]]. It lowers the maximum [[health]] of every creature in the target stack down to 50% (rounded up). The effect lasts for 3 combat rounds, and can only be removed with [[cure]] or [[dispel]]. Additionally, [[non-living]] creatures are immune to aging. | Ghost dragons have the special ability ''aging'', which has a 20% chance to occur after they have attacked a creature stack and before the stack has a chance to [[Retaliation|retaliate]].

Bone Dragons and Ghost Dragons are often considered to be among the weakest level 7 creatures. They are not as powerful as dragons of [[Rampart]] and [[Dungeon]], and do not share their [[breath attack]] and magic immunity (on the other hand, they can be boosted by some spells, unlike e.g. [[Red Dragon and Black Dragon|Black Dragons]], and cannot damage their own troops). While Aging can effectively cripple an enemy stack, it is quite unreliable and may be controversial in some cases, as a stack suffered from aging will be [[Resurrection|resurrected]] faster. | Bone Dragons and Ghost Dragons are often considered to be among the weakest level 7 creatures.

Use them defensively to clean up [[Troop stacks]] in the first few rounds of combat and try to keep them from being overwhelmed as they will falter when they get teamed up on. They also deal the lowest minimal damage for a tier 7 unit, sharing this stat with the [[Hydra and Chaos Hydra|Hydras and Chaos Hydras]]. | ||
They are also one of the three flying Necropolis units, the others being the [[Vampire and Vampire Lord|Vampires]] and [[Wight and Wraith|Wights/Wraiths]], making them good for sieges, especially since the [[Wight and Wraith|Wights and Wraiths]] have low stats. | They are also one of the three flying Necropolis units, the others being the [[Vampire and Vampire Lord|Vampires]] and [[Wight and Wraith|Wights/Wraiths]], making them good for sieges, especially since the [[Wight and Wraith|Wights and Wraiths]] have low stats. | ||
