Dragon Class


And they don't have damsels in distress, either.

Dragons evolve in *real* battle. You can train them to get strong enough through training and wild battles, but only in a real battle against the opponent can the dragon turn into a stronger kind.

Class: Young Dragon
Prefered Alignment: Any
Attacks:
Front Row: 2 X Bite
Middle Row: 1 X Bite
Back Row: 1 X Bite
Stats: Basic

Aww, isn't it cute? No? Looks like an overgrown rat, you say? Can't wait until
it turns into something with use? Okay. This is your young dragon. Depending
upon alignment and type, it will turn into something special.


Class: Red Dragon
Prefered Alignment: Neutral
Attacks:
Front Row: 2 X Bite
Middle Row: 1 X Bite
Back Row: 1 X Fire Breath
Stats: Requires a good STR and AGI.

Keep him in the front row. He's got quite a bit of strength behind 
him, and Fire Breath would be more useful if it wasn't only one per turn. Stick with him.
If you want him to turn into his ultra form, keep his alignment neutral - keep
it away from lawful or chaotic.


Class: Blue Dragon
Prefered Alignment: Neutral
Attacks:
Front Row: 2 X Bite
Middle Row: 1 X Bite
Back Row: 1 X Breath of Cold
Stats: Requires a good MEN and DEX.

The Blue Dragon, while by no means weak, is the least durable of all the stage
2 dragons. However, he tends to have a higher dodging ability and a slightly
better resistance to magic. Don't bear this in mind when looking for dragons, 
though - he's pretty much just like his cousins.


Class: Thunder Dragon
Prefered Alignment: Neutral
Attacks: 
Front Row: 2 X Bite
Middle Row: 1 X Bite
Back Row: 1 X Thunder Breath
Stats: Requires a good AGI and DEX.

Not bad. It tends to get off attacks quickly and dodges pretty darn well. 
However, it's quite possibly the hardest dragon to change... however, it 
turns into the, if not best, one of the.


Class: Earth Dragon
Prefered Alignment: Neutral
Attacks:
Front Row: 2 X Bite
Middle Row: 1 X Bite
Back Row: 1 X Acid Armor
Stats: Requires a good VIT and MEN.

I don't tend to use these guys a whole lot, but hey, whatever floats your boat,
bay-bee. Like all of the other second-form dragons, a pretty good fighter
whose stats are improved with a Dragon Tamer or Master in the group.


Class: Platinum Dragon
Prefered Alignment: High
Attacks:
Front Row: 2 X Bite
Middle Row: 1 X Bite
Back Row: 1 X Sacred Breath
Stats: Requires a good VIT, INT, and MEN.

Stronger that the other dragons, but not by much, this is any Young Dragon with
a high alignment and good stats. It's powerful, but it's final stage thingy
Dragon doesn't put ailments on the opponent. Check out Bahamut for more details.


Class: Black Dragon
Prefered Alignment: Low
Attacks:
Front Row: 2 X Bite
Middle Row: 1 X Bite
Back Row: Rotten Breath X 1
Stats: Requires a good STR and INT.

Oh, yeah! An evil dragon, and one of my favorites. This one tends to evolve
quickly (probably because he'll probably be in a high level group, as the higher
the level of your groups, the lower their alignment will be), and become a 
very, very powerful dragon. Plus, Dragon Tamers have a somewhat wide range,
so it won't be *too* hard to evolve her into a Dragon Master if she's in a 
chaotic group.


Class: Flarebrass
Leveled up from: Red Dragon
Prefered Alignment: Neutral
Attacks:
Front Row: 2 X Fire Breath
Middle Row: 2 X Fire Breath
Back Row: 2 X Crimson Note
Stats: Requires a great STR and AGI.

Look! Look! Wow! Fire Breath, twice! All stats, mega! Sentences, bad grammar!
Crimson note does a lot of Fire Damage in a kind of 'cross' - the entire middle
row and the middle column gets hit a little less than three times as much 
as the four corners. As well, it might lower the overall power of a few
opponents. I tend to keep him into the unprotected backrow (meaning that three
guys will be bunched up on the other side - hope you have a good middle row
attacker!).


Class: Hydra
Leveled up from: Blue Dragon
Prefered Alignment: Neutral
Attacks:
Front Row: 2 X Breath of Cold
Middle Row: 2 X Breath of Cold
Back Row: 2 X Clear Disaster
Stats: Requires a great MEN and DEX.

My favorite dragon, this thing kicks butt. While it is *extremely* ugly, almost
repulsize, to see the back of it, it makes up for its visuals by sheer... um...
butt-kicklyness. This thing hits in a cross, described above... and get this.
It can actually put some characters to *sleep*! Extremely useful. And powerful.


Class: Quetzalcoatl
Leveled up from: Thunder Dragon
Prefered Alignment: Neutral
Attacks:
Front Row: 2 X Lightning Breath
Middle Row: 2 X Lightning Breath
Back Row: 2 X Radiant Gale
Stats: Requires a great AGI and DEX.

Also a very, very nice dragon with a very, very weird name. Radiant Gale hits
in a cross, and can paralyze. If you don't want a Hydra, I suggest you get 
this or the Tiamat. But why not get all three? >:)


Class: Ahzi Dahaka
Leveled up from: Earth Dragon
Prefered Alignment: Neutral
Attacks:
Front Row: 2 X Acid Breath
Middle Row: 2 X Acid Breath
Back Row: 2 X Earthquake
Stats: Requires a great VIT and MEN.

Not bad, not bad. It hits in a cross (surprised?), and tends to lower the power
of opponents better than the Flarebrass. However, flying characters, like
Hawkmen, Vultans, Faeries, and Angel Knights, will not be affected by this
attack: Beware.


Class: Bahamut
Leveled up from: Platinum Dragon
Prefered Alignment: High
Attacks: 
Front Row: 2 X Sacred Breath
Middle Row: 2 X Sacred Breath
Back Row: 2 X Divine Ray
Stats: Requires a great VIT, INT, and MEN.

Very strong. The strongest of all dragons, and if its Divine Ray kills an 
undead character, it can't be revived no matter what, since that's a
'White' type of magic. However, unlike the other dragons, the Bahamut will not
paralyze, or put to sleep, or decrease power - it will only cause damage. 
Beware.


Class: Tiamat
Leveled up from: Black Dragon
Prefered Alignment: Low
Attacks: 
Front Row: 2 X Rotten Breath
Middle Row: 2 X Rotten Breath
Back Row: 2 X Evil Dead
Stats: Requires a great STR, INT, and DEX.

Whoo! Evil Dead hits for a ton of damage, and puts enemies to sleep. As an 
added bonus, it's total eye candy - the special effects look great!

More classes!

More Ogre Battle 64 stuff!

Head on back to the Rainy Circle.
