They are supposed to be more viable due to cheaper starting path costs. It isn't enough to make them competitive.

It would be nice if they started out with more magic - so someone isn't forced to take bad scales and/or low dominion to make a rainbow. A little more domain would work as well - though more magic would seem more thematically correct to me.

Perhaps give each dragon 1 more magic path or higher dominion?

Red - Fire/Death
Blue - Water/Air
Green - Nature/Blood

Note I have purposely avoided the 'favourite' bless combos so as to not make them overpowered for the mega bless stratagies. Just a idea...

Fire/Death is a rather powerful combination that's already covered by several pretenders. What about Fire/Air and Water/(Death or Earth)

Yea, fire/air works too, I see fire/death as more themematc, they are made to be together. Water/Death can be a powerful bless combo and water/earth just doesn't go together, I am thinking of a water dragon as spending all its time either in the water or air.

I suppose another way would just be to attach a path of air to them all.

Fire/air
Water/air
Nature/air

This is thematic as dragons fly, thus are at home in the air element. Air is a weak bless, so no worries about being overpowered for a bless strategy either.

I find dragons rather well balanced as they are. My only issue is perhaps that the blue dragon overshadows red and green a bit.

Default Re: Dragons

Because of the larger AoE breath attack, the high defence, or the fact that w9 works very well as a bless on its own?
