In a head-to-head combat with no stats bonuses, a Black Dragon marginally overcomes a single Titan. However, a mere difference of 1 point more in attack or defense for the Titan would tip the balance in their favor. | In a head-to-head combat with no stats bonuses, a Black Dragon marginally overcomes a single Titan.

=== Defense=== | |||
With an impressive health value of 300, the Black Dragon stands as one of the most resilient creatures in the game. In the original {{roe}}, it was the hardiest among the dragons, with its health equal to the Titans' and Ancient Behemoths' (and Haspids' in {{hota}}). It also boasts a higher defense than both these creatures, albeit not by a significant margin. The {{ab}} expansion introduced four new dragon types, Faerie Dragon, Rust Dragons, Crystal Dragons, and Azure Dragons, all neutral creatures with greater health than the Black Dragons. | |||
=== Offense=== | |||
Although Black Dragons don't possess the highest damage for a level 7 creature, they still outperform most in this regard, coupled with the Breath Attack ability, allowing them to strike two units simultaneously. They command a decent attack value, but it falls short of the Gold Dragon's by 2. Black Dragons inflict 150% damage against Titans. This multiplier applies even when Black Dragons attack a different stack with Titans positioned behind; however, caution is necessary if both Titans and Black Dragons are on your side, as friendly Titans will still suffer 150% damage if attacked by Black Dragons. | |||
=== Cost and Efficiency === | |||
To establish this creature's base dwelling, all other base creature dwellings along with Mage Guild level 2 are required. Unlike their rivals, the Giants and Titans, the dragon's base dwelling necessitates more valuable resources, typically leading to acquiring Red Dragons later than Giants and also having fewer of them to upgrade in subsequent weeks. | |||

Black Dragons, due to their spell immunity, are ideal for a tactic commonly known as Dragogeddon. In this strategy, a hero with preferably high power skill and the Armageddon spell launches an attack with an army solely comprised of creatures either immune or highly resistant to the Armageddon spell. This tactic can be employed in a "hit-and-run" strategy, to bypass wandering creatures, or even to defeat enemy heroes. In the {{roe}} series, Black Dragons were the prime choice for Dragogeddon. ''' Remember that Red Dragons aren't suitable for Dragogeddon as they are only immune to level 1-3 spells!''' | Black Dragons, due to their spell immunity, are ideal for a tactic commonly known as Dragogeddon.

The advantage of deploying Black Dragons in this tactic is their swift initiative or speed. Only Phoenixes and Gold Dragons are faster creatures immune to Armageddon. High initiative allows the hero to act first in combat, potentially securing victory before the enemy can flee, surrender, or retaliate. | The advantage of deploying Black Dragons in this tactic is their swift initiative or speed.

Black Dragons are excellent fighters, capable of reaching enemy shooters in the first turn. However, they may not endure long against an army of similar strength due to their inability to be resurrected normally, necessitating support from other friendly troops. | Black Dragons are excellent fighters, capable of reaching enemy shooters in the first turn.

The primary strategy against Red and Black Dragons is to launch a full-scale assault and overpower them, primarily using magic to eliminate other troops. Be cautious with your troop placement to prevent them from striking two of your units simultaneously, and try to coerce them into attacking their own units (e.g., by provoking them with a small and weak stack, leading to a retaliation and significant damage to allies). | The primary strategy against Red and Black Dragons is to launch a full-scale assault and overpower them, primarily using magic to eliminate other troops.
