Smoketail, the Veilflame, has transcended the simple art of concealment. No longer content to shroud battlefields in smoke, she weaves entire illusions—phantom valleys, false armies, ghostly cries—to unmake her foes before the fight begins.
When Lord Wendryn’s host marched on Hornwood, they found the land twisted by visions: familiar woods turned to ash, kin whispered from the trees, and every path led only to confusion and fire. None who entered emerged unchanged. Smoketail does not roar—she unravels. Her illusions beguile, her smoke deceives, and those caught within rarely know truth from trap until it’s too late.
This Dragon is only available to claim upon entering the campaign: The Dragons Divide!
Gameplay Details
Smoketail is a dangerous Epic Hunter who specializes in dismantling compromised enemies, having a particular taste for Champion dragons.
Her kit blends steady Fire damage with self-preservation. Smoketail excels at identifying Weakened prey, suppressing their Tactical and Fire output, and reducing key stats before finishing them off with Fire damage and a devastating anti-Champion payoff.
Smoketail thrives in teams that can help spread Weakened or otherwise soften key enemy targets for her to exploit. She is strongest against lineups that depend on Champions, as she can turn those resilient threats into liabilities over time. Smoketail fills the role of an anti-Champion Fire predator, a survivalist dragon that uses selective punishment to unravel enemy armies.
