Itā€™s one of next weeks event troops along with Orc Veteran. Iā€™m going to enjoy, hopefully, the 50% buff to Orcs! ---

It summons at level one for the moment. Tested it last night. ---

Pretty sure the same happens with the New troop summoned by Summoner. ---

I believe that troop (Bone Daemon) should be in chests? Or at least thatā€™s what I assumed based on the patches notes mentioning it, but not mentioning the Drake. ---

I was hoping that a Drake Rider + Drake might be able to ā€œsurviveā€ 3 Astral Spirits during this hellish week in GW, but that is not the case. ---

For me an Orc can survive two, which in that time you can get Garā€™Nok charged to replace it. ---

Garā€™Nok would have to have no red or yellow troops ahead of him Edit: But good to note for Red and Yellow days. ---

pretty easy to leave yellow open. ---

Only need 7 because heā€™s starts at 50% full. His last trait got changed. Edit: needs 8 mana, he will start with 7. It rounds down. ---

Mercy is nice too, just donā€™t use on the first turn, unless your lead troop is already the lowest effective HP. Or pair Werewolf with Forest Guardian and transform at the right moment! ---

With X being a suitable Orc for the extra two gems he can spawn. I use a full Orc team and 22 gems he makes is awesome. [Next page](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/what-is-a-n-drake/26034.md?page=2)
