Ironplate on the march. Ravager at home. Get to know both sides of this creature.

Dragon belongs to Ironplate on attack and Ravager on defense. Buying one family gives you both combat forms.
Planning considerations
Dragon's crowd-control immunity and short fire aura are separate strengths. Place its tower where the incoming route crosses the one-hex aura if you want that damage to contribute. A long-range-looking sightline does not extend the aura.

ON ATTACK · Ironplate
Inferno marcher

Catalog attack values can remain nonzero when an ability disables normal attacks. Attack × APS is not a damage forecast. Ability effects, stars, synergies, resistances, and round modifiers change combat outcomes.

Ironplate partners
2 families: marchers gain Ironplate equal to 35% max health; when it breaks, adjacent enemies are stunned for 1s. 3 families: Plate 50%, stun 1.5s. 5 families: Plate 75%, stun 2s, and every other allied marcher gains 30% Plate. Blast removes Plate at 2x efficiency; other non-pure damage at 0.5x.
Other Ironplate families: Cactus, Treant, Scorpion, Hermit King.
Ravager partners
2 families: a Ravager tower kill hastes allied Ravager towers by 50% for 5s. 3 families: +75%, plus an immediate 50% bonus attack. 5 families: any tower kill hastes every allied tower by 100%; bonus attack 100%, no cooldown.
These are shared-synergy options, not a tested win-rate ranking. Only distinct deployed families count; bench units and summons do not add members.
What changes with stars?
Two matching copies at the same star merge into the next star. Stars I, II, III, and IV represent 1, 2, 4, and 8 copies. Health scales by 1×, 1.7×, 2.8×, and 4.5×; attack scales by 1×, 1.6×, 2.5×, and 4×. Nexus damage increases by one at each star after I. Each ability uses its own values listed above.
Generic star scaling does not increase armor, magic resistance, range, or basic attack speed. Learn the recruiting and merging loop or read about tower and marcher positioning.
