Before the headhunting range was improved, orcs had always been very lacking in output. Even in the extremely strong version of the Orcs, the core output points are concentrated on heroes such as and Juggernaut . In fact, the emergence of this situation does not mean that the Orcs really have no output units; on the contrary, the Orcs still have a violent output unit that is enough to be proud of the world. However, the actual combat performance of is too polarizing than that of . If you don't pay attention, you will lose everything. Most orc players ignore its existence. It is the unit that has been criticized the most by players in the Orcs and even in the entire "Warcraft 3" - the flying dragon (Wind Rider).
Attribute information
Flying dragons are the two arms of the Orcs. After the animal stable is built, you can spend 265 gold and 40 wood to recruit in it, each of which occupies 4 people. In its initial state, the flying dragon has 36 to 44 piercing attack power, 570 health points, and 0 light armor. After completing the 3 technologies, you can also spend 100 gold and 150 wood in the animal pen to develop the poison spear skill for the flying dragon. After possessing this skill, the flying dragon's attack can cause 4 points of poison damage per second to the target, lasting 25 seconds (the effect can be superimposed, but cannot be fatal).
actual combat effect
Suppressed output: The flying dragon has a piercing attack power of 36 to 44 points in the initial situation. Although the body is relatively fragile, after a certain number, the output it can produce is still extremely terrifying. Not to mention, with the blessing of the 3rd undergraduate skill Poison Spear. Therefore, in actual games, the flying dragon often exists as an output unit to suppress the opponent; the effect in this aspect is somewhat similar to the human musketeer, but it is stronger. However, compared to the musketeers, the flying dragon is easier for its opponents to catch its weaknesses.
Quick leveling: As an aerial piercing unit that can be recruited in this stage and has a very high output, it has a very good effect when combined with troop leveling. In the actual game, before the flying dragon troops are formed, we can use a small amount of flying dragons to cooperate with the heroes to level up, so that the heroes can obtain higher levels and better treasures as soon as possible, and strive to have more powerful heroes when the flying dragons are formed. Comprehensive ability.
Advantages
High mobility: As an aerial unit, although the flying dragon has obvious shortcomings, its powerful mobility is still worthy of everyone's attention. Many players who like non-mainstream tactics will often use the flying dragon unit when using the Orcs. One of the main reasons is the strong mobility of this unit.
has strong output ability: in addition to its high mobility, its attack power is very high. The later poison spear skill can further improve its output ability, which is also the obvious advantage of this unit.
Defects
Air units: As we all know, among all the arms in "Warcraft 3", air units are very easy to be restrained by opponents, and flying dragons are no exception. Once the opponent has a certain number of anti-air units, the space for the flying dragon to play will be greatly reduced.
has a fragile body: While it is an air unit that is easily restrained by opponents, it is also very fragile, which is also one of the biggest flaws of the flying dragon. This is also the main reason why in the actual game, even if the Feilonghai tactics achieve a greater advantage, the battle loss ratio will be very high. The cost of using
is extremely high: From the basic attributes, we can see that the recruitment cost of Feilong is really not cheap. In addition, in actual games, sufficient numbers are needed to achieve the desired effect, and the battle loss ratio in team battles is very high. If you want to use this unit to achieve effects, the combat cost is also very high. To describe it in one sentence - the orcs without money are not worthy of using flying dragons.
