I've always believed that the dragon element is one of the elements with the strongest of monsters. The monsters of this element usually have stats that are incredible, to say the least. From abilities to attack power and even health, monsters of the dragon element are impressive. This time, I'll be specifically talking about monsters belonging to this element that have the melee attack type.
Desert Dragon
This ferocious beast has a lethal melee attack power of 4. With such attack power, it can eliminate certain enemy units in just one attack. That is massive. It also has 3 armors and a health of 6. With such stat, it's obvious that it can perfectly serve as a tank in battle. It all's has a speed of 2. This card costs 7 mana which I believe is really fair for a monster of its capabilities.
At level 1, the Desert Dragon has the trample ability, so when it eliminates an enemy unit with a melee attack, it performs another attack on the next enemy unit.
By level 2, it gets the piercing ability. This means that if it's attack is more than the enemy's armor, it will also affect the health of that enemy unit.
At level 3, it adds the retaliate ability, so when it is hit with a melee attack, there's a fifty percent chance that it will immediately attack the unit that attacked it.
Furthermore, it adds the giant killer ability by level 4, and as a result, it does double damage to enemy units that costs 10 mana or more.
Carnage Titan
This monster has a melee attack power of 2. It also has a massive amount of armor (7) which is enough to protect its health against melee and ranged attacks. It has an impressive health of 8. This monster has a reasonable amount of speed (3). The mana cost for this monster is 11.
At level 1, Carnage Titan has the reach ability. This gives it the ability to launch attacks from the second position in battle. It also has the double strike ability in this level, letting it attack twice each round.
By level 3, it adds the shield ability, which reduces damage suffered from melee and ranged attacks by half.
Djinn Chwala
This is another fascinating melee attack monster of the dragon element. Its attack power stands at 2. It has 5 armors and a health of 9. Those are enough to keep it in battle for longer. It also has a moderate speed of 2.
At level 1, Djinn Chwala has the thorns ability, hence, when hit with a melee attack, it deals 2 melee damages back to the attacking unit.
By level 3, it has the enrage ability, giving it fifty percent more speed and melee attacks when not at full health.
At level 6, it adds the true strike ability, meaning it can never miss its target.
