About the game
This is for all 6 color combinations of Hybrid and Ivory Hybrid dragons that match the options picked Hybrid Dragons: These dragons are hybrids of the elemental dragons. Composed of two elements, they have both elements in their very makeup. They generate breath against 5 health of the defending army and both elements of army breath effects against the army. However, the dragons are affected by both elements as well. A Dragon Summoning spell of either element will summon them to a terrain. Eldarim Champions that match either element can affect them normally. Dragon Staffs and Dragonkin Champions of either element also affect them normally. Dragonkin of either matching element cannot be rolled when attacked by an Hybrid dragon. Hybrid Dragons fight all dragons (except pure ivory dragons and ivory hybrids with a matching elemental) that do not match their elements exactly. Elemental and White dragons fight all Hybrid Dragons. Ivory Hybrid Dragons: These dragons are hybrids of the elemental dragons and an ivory dragon. Composed of one element and ivory, they have that element in their very makeup, plus all the attributes of the ivory dragons. They generate breath against 5 health of the defending army and the elemental army breath effect (if any) against the army. A Dragon Summoning spell of any element (reflecting their ivory nature) will summon them to a terrain. Eldarim Champions of a single element that matches the dragon’s elemental can affect them normally. White Eldarim Champions affect them normally. Dragon Staffs and Dragonkin Champions of the same element as the dragon also affect them normally. Just like pure ivory dragons, dragonkin cannot be rolled when attacked by an Ivory Hybrid dragon. Like the pure ivory dragons, once summoned to a terrain, no ivory Dragon Summoning spell can move them. However, a Dragon Summoning spell of their element can move them. Ivory hybrid dragons, like pure ivory dragons, always attack the army at the terrain. However, they are attacked by all hybrid dragons that do not have a matching element. Elemental dragons not matching the ivory hybrid dragon’s element and white dragons attack all ivory hybrid dragons.
