Azure Dragon's fear [[special ability]] is a passive ability, which means it does not require any specific action from the stack. The fear may occur only at the beginning of enemy stack's turn, causing them to freeze in fear of the Azure Dragons and effectively lose their chance to act that combat round. The working principle is very similar to bad [[morale]]. | Azure Dragon's fear [[special ability]] is a passive ability, which means it does not require any specific action from the stack.

They are totally worth the cost, especially since you will usually have the possibility of recruiting them in mid-game, when you already have a decent army. A few Azure Dragons are very good to strengthen your army for their cost. However, don't buy them if your enemy is Fortress, maybe just one for their [[Fear]] ability.

Like all the neutral creatures, they cannot be upgraded. Azure Dragon have the highest [[Primary skill#Attack|attack]], [[Primary skill#Defense|defense]], [[damage]] and [[health]] values of all the creatures making them arguably the strongest units in the game. Placing Azure Dragons (as well as any living Dragons) in the [[Skeleton Transformer]] will give you [[Bone Dragon]]s instead of regular [[Skeleton]]s. They are also the most expensive unit in the game. | |||
Azure Dragons have the highest [[AI Value]] of any creature, with 78845. | |||
== Trivia == | |||
Even though in the game files themselves the Azure 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. | |||
