On an aside, the new set of “Floral Dragons” is debuting in the Soulforge, at a cost of _600_ Dragonite each:

- Belcerulea (Blue/green/red), Zhul’Kari
- Thornaressa (Red/blue/yellow), Ghulvania
- Orrissea (Purple/red/yellow), Sword’s Edge
- Gladius (Green/blue/yellow), Forest of Thorns
- Narcithus (Yellow/green/purple), Pan’s Vale
- Orchidus (Brown/blue/red), Shentang

Their archetype is:

- Elemental + Dragon
- 25% spell reduction, _reflect_ 35% of Skull damage, and steal 4 Life when matching their primary color.
- Spell damage is slightly better than Cosmic Dragons and they create 5 Heroic Gems associated with their primary color (including the new purple “Enchanted Gems”), plus the chance for an extra turn.

The final dragon is “Chrysantherax”, whose spell explodes Skulls (an improvement over Stellarix’s board disruption IMO).

Well, at least I can get Shentang and Sword’s Edge to power 10 now.

Anyway, my first two turned out to be:

1. Orrissea
2. Gladius

The new dragon batch helps out Sword’s Edge, Shentang, Nexus, and Forest of Thorns with powerful options to take on Underspire and other game modes. Ghulvania and Zhul-kari already have plenty of powerful options imo.🤣

I guess every kingdom will just have overpowered dragons, making this game braindead and boring, reducing team diversity…oh wait, that kind of has already happened…
