*"After drinking the Dragon Blood Vial, Mutare became a dragon that retained human consciousness. Some speculate that her transformation heralds the arrival of the Dragon Father."*

Master of the Dungeons and Dragons, Mutare Drake provides significant benefits to her Dragon units.

# Masteries

## Recommended by players

**Stikkel**:

There are only two masteries that are a must for DM. Fire Magic decreases your fire magic cooldowns so you can cast her ultimate more often. Mysticism increases mana regeneration so it will tremendously help with her mana problems.

The game recommends Resistance which I personally don't see that big of a value. Sorcery can be nice as an extra buff for your casters, especially Green Dragon but it's not a must.

I would look into Tactics (that improves your defensive units), Scouting (for stronger offensive units) or Wisdom (to further increase the level of your spells). These are all up to the player's preference and specific setup.

## Recommended spellmark by players

**Stikkel**: Replenished Magic

Dragon Mutare is quite mana starved, so you would preferably either choose a passive spell mark, or no spell mark. DM is all about her ultimate, that's her power move, so you want more mana regeneration to ensure you can cast it consistently. Depending on your server you could try Mana Suppression too, but mine is permeated with Astrals and Sandros, whose mana is plentiful enough to counter its effects.

Avoiding an active spell mark is imperative. Otherwise, especially in AI matches, it will end spending up her mana senselessly instead of prioritizing the ultimate.

# Strategy

## By Stikkel(10th August, 2020)

**1. What does Dragon Mutare play like and which players would enjoy her the most?**

*For me it was a simple reason: not that many people play her (on my server at least). When many people make a choice, it's mostly about "how can I be the strongest", and as a consequence, Astral dominates our server. And for now, I believe Dragon Mutare is a directly counter to Astral.*

*On the offense, you can play DM very aggressively. The first 30 seconds are crucial. The Dungeon Chargers in combination with her ultimate can easily wipe out defending back-lanes very fast. Stun-burn-bleed is the offensive arsenal that makes her work. It is very crippling for the opponents.*

*Defensively she is also quite good. With a high Black Dragon you can certainly timeout many opponents just because they can't kill him. Of course this is not the only reason, but I think DM is one of the best defensive heroes for now.*

*I think many people could enjoy DM, a minor problem can be the investment she takes.*

**2. What are Dragon Mutare's biggest strengths?**

*This is easy: her ultimate. But mostly in combination with Green Dragon, Black Dragon, Red Dragon and Dungeon creatures (just take a look at her specialty skills)*

**3. What about weaknesses?**

*Her mana pool is her biggest deficit. You can't just blindly spam spells, because you want to conserve your mana to be able to constantly cast Dragon's Roar. Sadly, the AI will cast her ultimate once, and then proceed to waste all of her mana on the other abilities. No mana, no ultimates.*

*There are also rumours that Fortress can be a very good counter to DM, but it's still a new faction so it's soon to tell.*

**4. Which would you say are the core creatures and why?**

*Black Dragon, Red Dragon and Green Dragon are primary core due to what a strong synergy they have with DM. if you don't have these three creatures there is not much incentive to go with Dragon Mutare.*

*At this point, she also can benefit quite a bit from a core of Dungeon units who also have good synergy with DM's talents. Minotaur is a very strong tank. Medusa deals quite a bit of damage, she is a spell magnet, and on top of all this petrifies units. Finally Manticore is a great buffer & debuffer.*

**5. What is your recommended formation for Xeron?**

*This is a very good setup for both offense and defense.*

*The usage of the core units above is obvious. This leaves a total of 3 extra spots to fill in.*

*Efreeti is useful for burn synergy. Its first awakening skill can burn all enemies for 20s, which makes a very big difference and can be decisive from the very beginning of the battle. The theme is further continued by Devil who can profit from the burn while also taking out the backline of the opponent.*

*Lastly, I really like Pegasus. It is a flying unit that boosts both Green Dragon and Black Dragon, but also delves a bit into the bleed theme together with Green Dragon and Minotaur.*

*Other units you can consider for DM is by looking into a fliers theme. Here you have a few choices, between Phoenix, Thunderbird, Angel and Wyvern.*

*Some say Harpy is a great damage dealer but I haven't tested her so much because I don't like 2 charge units on defense. But when on offense you can combine her with Manticore to take out the back units of your opponent.*

*Troglodyte and Beholder are very fragile at this point so I don't use them.*

*About the formation itself, on the defense I choose a two-lane formation similar to what you see above - top two or bottom two lanes, with Green Dragon and Pegasus on the outer lane. Both are much sturdier units than they look so can withstand enemy chargers coming for your backline.*

*For the offense, it is a bit tough to define one universal formation, because it strongly depends on your opponent's placement.*
