The Dragon could be such a cool unit, it looks nice and has a cool attack animation. It is expensive and this is okay for a good unit, but this one is absolutely useless and weak.
A high crit chance and 75% piercing damage could solve this problem.
Maybe other players have some ideas too and comment below.
I really want to see the dragon in my battle formation, especially when Boss strikes are available. But right now, even the soldier beats this unit by far and has a much less price.

I was yapping about the wrong unit

“Dragon”, not “lightning dragoon” 🤦♂️

The dragon definitely needs a buff, but 75% armour piercing literally does nothing to help this unit out.
Firstly it needs the DOT chance to be 100% to make the unit overall more consistent
Secondly there should be a bonus crit rate to soldiers and/or critters (essentially make this effective against soft targets, similar to the role of a heavy chemical tank for example)
Thirdly, give other attack options, either a triple strike Variant, or give it the same attack pattern of heavy chemical tank’s canister launcher attack but both of these attacks consume 2 out of 4 ammo.
Fourthly, either reduce the widget cost by 1 or change it to gears - the equivalent of 15 gears from level 9 vehicle factory

I like the idea with the Heavy chem tank‘s launcher attack 👍
But if this unit has an extremly high crit chance, Let’s say 80% in combination with 75% armor piercing AND it already has 80% DOT chance, so with a crit the DOT damage is also increased it should be very strong then.
Just think about to place 4 dragons then and like you said with a second attack like the Heavy chem tank‘s launcher, you could use them every turn. And even if you use only the First attack, with this buff the whole enemy field is wiped out with 4 attacks, without the tanks.

The soldier beats everything, because the TF2 units aren't balanced
But I agree it needs a buff. I am not sure what pierce would provide however. It's just going to pierce, do blunt damage, then burn the armor.

the dragon is sort of meant to be the next step after the rocket truck, the fact that isn't and kind of sucks is just both sad and hilarious, triple strike and some damage buffs would be the first step
also reminded me of the fact that Z2 flat out refused to do any balance changes for vast majority of the bad units in this game no matter how much they suck

Give it about 50% extra damage and guaranteed fire DOT
