Placing Crystal Dragons (as well as any living Dragons) in the [[Skeleton Transformer]] will give you [[Bone Dragon]]s instead of regular [[Skeleton]]s. | |||

Crystal Dragons have vaguely phrased [[special ability]] called ''crystal generation''. It produces three crystals (3x {{C}}) at the beginning of each week if the player has at least one crystal dragon in any of their armies. The effect is not cumulative, which means that several crystal dragon stacks in a hero's army or several crystal dragon stacks in different heroes' armies does not produce more than the three crystals. | Crystal Dragons have vaguely phrased [[special ability]] called ''crystal generation''.

There | There aren't 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. | ||

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. | |||
