Leucithrax isn’t completely useless. I have found that using the following team gives you nice magic bonuses and can power up pretty well:
Wand of Stars/Archmagus
Stellarix
Leucithrax
Princess Elspeth
If there aren’t any 4 or more gem matches on the board, you sacrifice Leucithrax and just start destroying everything. The magic bonuses let you defeat many opponents in one cast of Stellarix. It’s just that in a direct comparison, Huang Long beats this new dragon in every way and the new cosmic dragons deal more damage.
With over 1,500 troops in the game now, it just gets harder and harder to create new and exciting ideas.

I think Leuc seems pretty good actually. I see leuc as definitely better than some of the immortals and a lot of the campaign mythics for sure. Not just a buff bot
It’s true huang gives 1 more passive magic with the trait, but I think that’s really underselling both of them, it’s just building a standard Stella team and trying to fill the last slot with a troop that doesn’t get used
and IMHO I wouldn’t say Huang is better in every way I think they do different things
imagine a team with Leuc as the centerpiece (or at least getting used) instead.
Being able to summon Krystenax guaranteed is great, one of the most classic legendaries, seems like that just became one of the best summoning spells in the game probably. No summon for huang
Leuc also has a x5 boost to damage for allied and enemy dragons, Huang has the extra random buff piece of the spell but no damage boost
The difference in skull reduction could be a tradeoff for the summon, that leuc can summon a stone skin shield in front of it
Seems like krystenax, leuc, dragon soul and a hero would be a pretty solid team for plenty of people , or some variations of that
Or, even if we are thinking just passive buff bots, why not stack them? Put huang and leuc both behind Void dragon, turns into beast mode for Void pretty fast
As for the cosmic dragons, they cost 6 more mana, and also don’t summon, so again I see them doing different things
let’s not forget there’s still plenty of people without the Wand even bc they haven’t pulled the tarot card (some in my guild even), let alone the egg dragons and dia/stella , I think most of the player base isn’t the min-max endgamers who have everything already . It would be interesting to see statistics on what percentage of total players actually own Stella
I haven’t had time to actually play today yet so maybe I’ll pull it and hate it, as always I could be wrong , but on paper I like this one

It’s a great option for newer players if they get lucky within the next week. When I first started the game about 4 years ago, it took some time, but once I got The Dragon Soul, Divinia, and Krystenax, I could build some powerful teams. It has become easier for newer players to catch up, but it requires a lot of dedication.
I tend to under analyze these new mythics because I am primarily focusing on pvp and upgrading kingdoms to level 30. This new mythic can get out of a bad situation by summoning a whole army of dragons because Krystenax can summon a Silver Drakon, so it’s a unique aspect and shows that they put some thought into it. This new mythic can make it easier for newer players to catch up, and I agree that Leucithrax is better than some Immortals.

Another new Dragon mythic?
But not complaining. Dragons are fun. It also technically boosts the utility of random Dragon summons (and transforms).

The new mythic is complete rubbish! Useless whatsoever.
This dragon sounds low an annoyance troop to fight against if he ever gets to cast.
Otherwise meh.
Decent team for E12, esp in Dragon’s Claw:
[1426,7583,7374,6328,3003,2,3,1,1,1,2,3,14028]
For me, Leuc hits with 135 damage per enemy if you use 3 nysha. I have 3 magic kingdoms maxed.
I just snagged him from a Gem Chest today. That makes the … third? base Mythic troop I’ve ever been able to snag on its debut week. The funny part being this was probably the last Keys I’m spending before the weekend arrives, and I quietly joked to myself “Leucithrax maybe?” when spending them, and bam. (Fenix was my first Mythic acquired on debut week. When she dropped my reaction was “oh, blue rarity. Wait – is that light blue? Light blue. Mythic blue. No way?”)
It’ll be a while before he’s fully traited but I definitely see him getting paired with Dragonguard class so their 3rd traits stack. Also, “Gem Scales” outside the set of Gem Dragons now. Slightly better than “Stoneskin” (Krystenax, etc) but less than “Aegis” (which still appears on only two Mythics) and “Icy Armor”.
