Wyrmtamer's chance of success depends on the number of KOs the caster has been responsible for, and the percentage of HP the target has left.
The formula of success is as follows:
:MinHP\% = 50 - \text{Number of Units Caster has KO'd}
:HP\% = [Target's Max HP \times MinHP\% / 100]
:Hit\% = [(HP\% - Target's HP) \times 100 / HP\%]

== Gameplay ==
Concerned with nothing but offense, Dragoons boast the highest attack by far. Spears and Jump give them some useful ranged capabilities. Having access to three breath abilities allows them to selectively target any elemental weaknesses the opponent might have. Jump is a stable ranged attack, and is even able to be used by Templars. Dragonheart is a potentially broken reaction ability, as the enemy AI usually uses normal attacks, giving Dragoons the potential to become nigh invincible. Lancet gives Dragoons some more survivability without having to concern other allies.
Dragoons do have a few problems. Their average speed hurts their offensive abilities, as they are easily outpaced by units like Snipers and Ninjas. The class lacks healing, being unable to assist allies. As with most bangaa, the Dragoon has horrible MP and Magic Attack, although this is hardly an issue. Overall, Dragoons are strong, and though not fast, can defeat various enemies with few hits.
Fast-acting mages are the best means of offense against enemy Dragoons, though they should remain wary as Dragoons can down them in one strike. Immobilizing or disabling Dragoons greatly limits their offensive potential.
