== Closer look at Black Dragon ==
=== Toughness ===
With the health value of 300, Black Dragon is one of the toughest creatures in the game. In the original {{roe}}, it was toughest of the [[dragon]]s and overall its health was only matched by [[Titan]]s' and [[Ancient Behemoth]]s'. It also has more Defense than either of those creatures. {{ab}} expansion introduced four new dragons, [[Faerie Dragon]], [[Rust Dragon]]s, [[Crystal Dragon]]s and [[Azure Dragon]]s, which all are neutral creatures and have more health than Black Dragons.
=== Tactics ===
Because of the Black Dragons' spell immunity, they are suitable to be used in tactics often called [[dragogeddon]]. In dragogeddon, a hero with preferably high [[power skill]] and [[Armageddon]] spell attacks with an army only consisting of creatures immune or very resilient to the Armageddon spell. The tactics may be used in "hit-and-run" tactic, to advance through wandering creatures or even to slay enemy heroes. In {{roe}} series, Black Dragons were the best creature to use in dragogeddon.
The benefit of using Black Dragons in this tactics is their high initiative, in other words, their speed. Only [[Phoenix]]es are faster creatures that are immune to Armageddon. High initative enables hero to act first in the combat, and this way possibly win the battle before enemy gets a chance to flee, surrender or otherwise cause resistance.
=== Semantics ===
Black Dragon has become a symbol of the Heroes series since it first appeared in Heroes of Might and Magic II: The Succession Wars. It is also the symbol for the best player effectiveness in high score tables.
