Inferno Dragon/Home Village

__NOEDITSECTION__
"Not getting upset over being alone anymore, the Inferno Dragon has learned to focus its rage into a very powerful beam that builds up over time!"
----
Level 6-10
==Summary==
*
*The Inferno Dragon is a super version of the that attacks with an inferno beam that builds up damage over time, much like the single-target Inferno Tower.
*
*
*
==Strategy==
===Offensive===
* Inferno Dragons can serve very well as part of air attacks, as they have the capability of taking down high health buildings quickly. They also have no loss of DPS when next to other troops as well.
** This is especially good for LavaLoon attacks, where you can send them with the main army and let them take down the defending Archer Queen and Royal Champion, allowing other troops to be used elsewhere (E.G. allowing a Queen Charge to target something else like Town Hall.)
*The Air Sweeper should be a defense to watch out for when using Inferno Dragons. The Air Sweeper's pushback will send the Inferno Dragon out of range of its target, resetting its damage build-up.
*Inferno Dragons can be quite poor at taking out moving targets, particularly a defending Barbarian King, as they will often need to retarget whenever these targets move, resetting the Inferno Dragon's damage build-up. However, against defending Archer Queens and Royal Champions, multiple Inferno Dragons can easily defeat them because the defending heroes will usually stay in place.
* Like their non-super counterpart, they can be used to create funnels as well, but this is only better than a when there are lots of high HP buildings, due to his less space-efficient health and lower low-level DPS.
* Against a defending Inferno Dragon, bring a Lightning Spell. It resets the charge and deals a good amount of damage, along with one-shotting other commonly used Clan Castle troops.
* You can also swarm him with troops that have low housing space, or you can use your Archer Queen if she is high leveled (at least level 45).
===Defensive===
* Inferno Dragons are superb to use as a defensive Clan Castle troop. Their ramping damage acts as movable Inferno Towers on defense. A Freeze Spell or Poison Spell is almost always required to save the tanks and heroes from this troop.
* Inferno Dragons are slowed down by low HP buildings. Putting them around your heroes can buy time before they are targeted by the Inferno Dragon.
** Also put them around high damage buildings like Air Defenses, so they can take the Inferno Dragon out or do major damage to him before they get destroyed.
* An Air Sweeper is detrimental to the Inferno Dragon. Protect them well and make them cover the whole base to destroy Inferno Dragons.
* Seeking Air Mines can instantly take out an Inferno Dragon. Place them where you think Inferno Dragons may be deployed.
* Inferno Dragons are far less health efficient than their counterpart. Focus on making high damage areas to waste their space taken.
