The Dev Team has compiled a list of 10 Tips and Tricks to elevate your Dragon Front skills. Add your own tips and tricks in the comments below or join us on the Discord Chat to swap tips in real time.
1. Start with your mana strategy.
At the start of your turn, you gain 1 mana, plus another for each unit you have in your spawn row. There are exceptions to every rule, but for the most part, If you move a unit from your spawn row, that unit does not generate more mana for you until it is destroyed. Have a way to generate mana independent of your spawn row, so even if your plan A fails, you can still rally some troops.
2. The best battles are strategic.
Dragon Front requires a fine balance between offense and defense. If you start running across the battlefield as soon as a unit is available, you will lose your mana generation on the next turn. Similarly, if you keep all of your units in your spawn row too long, you risk losing the upper hand.
3. Keep at least two ways to deal direct damage in your deck.
Sometimes it turns out that a single high-strength unit can decimate an otherwise solid strategy. Keep a spell or two that deals direct damage to a unit or units in your deck for when your back is up against a wall.
4. Keep at least two ways to remove an opposing fort in your deck.
This is especially true for players that like to build specialty decks (flying unit heavy deck, for example). One annoyingly well-place fort can wreck a strategy. Keep some spells or units on hand that can clear those pesky speedbumps out.
5. Order of operations are key.
7. Champions turn the tide of battle.
Base the deck around your champion’s strengths and key words. If the champ brings out lots of small units, build a deck around buffing cheap units, or swarming the enemy.
8. Statistically speaking, Curve your deck.
The deck builder UI includes a nifty card cost counter that looks like a bar chart or histogram. Having a semi- normal distribution will ensure that you have a good balance of low to high cost cards for the battle ahead.
9. New Cards, New Opportunities.
Not quite sure who you are in Terrene Gall? Try every new card you get from booster packs to test out new play styles. You can get some pretty powerful and unexpected combinations when you start adding them to a base deck!
10. Make no small plans.
Nothing in Dragon Front is set in stone, and there are exceptions to every rule. If you find yourself thinking, “I wonder what would happen if I…” then you are on the right track! It may work out, it may not. In the end, nothing risked, nothing gained.
