Baby Dragons are 10 housing space aerial troops that

have many of the same characteristics of its adult version,

the Dragon. It flies, breaths fire upon buildings and

enemy troops, withstands a great deal of punishment

but.. there is a significant difference. When the Baby

Dragon is the only air troop in the area it goes into this

frenzy of rage and deals X2 damage to all of its targets.

This may not seen too significant due to the fact that

they must be the only aerial troop, therefore the Balloon

(a common troop used with the adult Dragon) can not be

used in tandem with the Baby Dragon. But.. They HAVE proven to by very useful despite this awkward limitation. Baby Dragons are designed to be used as air support for your big ground and pound attack like the Gowipe or Govape.

           ***For example when your troops are approaching

the defenses of a village and the large tanking troops such

as the Golem or Giants become engaged with the front

line of defenses, your Baby Dragons will be a perfect troop

to add additional fire power without additional risks of

setting off land traps. Keep in mind that at one point it

was a common trend NOT to mix your air and ground

troops. I would personally tell those in Damage Inc. NOT

to mix land and air so they would not have to deal with

ALL of the base's defenses. (It was hard enough dealing

with ground only defenses) BUT, I and most everyone else

of this thought process was proven sooo wrong with the

introduction of the awesome attack, the Goloonian..

which uses Golems to protect the Heroes and Balloons

instead of the Lava Hound.

       Baby Dragons are superb Clan Castle troops on defense. They take up 1/2 of the space of the Dragon and if your smart and only use ground troops with them they will deal nearly the same damage as a full Dragon! This also leaves you plenty of additional space for other premium CC troops. Remember that air and ground troops have been known to come out of the Clan Castle at different times so a single Hog Rider or Miner may not pull your Baby Dragon out with the rest of the troops and because they only take up 10 housing space attacking clashers may overlook the fact that there is another troop in the CC and begin their delicate attacks such as the mass Hog attack (which is super vulnerable to air attacks of any kind) Baby Dragons may become the most common CC troop replacing that title that has long been held by their full versions, the Dragon.

       Baby Dragons are the 1st troops to come into play that showcase SuperCell's dislike for the mass troop attacks. They have been known to Nerf any troop that players can use in large numbers to 3 star bases without any real strategic planning. If the Baby Dragons are used in large groups and with the right spell configuration they are strong enough to score stars on strong bases but to score a 3 star on a TH10 or higher will be VERY unlikely. This is a clear message to all clashers that its time to mix it up and build intelligent armies that consist of a diverse array of different troops.

       Overall the Baby Dragon is a wonderful troop for so many different applications from the reinforcement troop to the premiere CC troop but lets not forget on of their greatest commodities.. Their Hit Points! Many Clashers will use the Minion to score that last 3-4 % to get them that 50% star and either win the attack or add a much needed star to their side in a clan war. The Baby Dragon can be deployed in the direct line of fire from an Archer Tower, Wizard Tower and even lower level X-Bows and still muscle their way through that last building to pick up the star, where a Minion or Archer would be one shot away from the most dismal of all scores.. The 49%!
