How to Make the Best Dragon Party

This is a guide on how to make the best dragon party in Fire Emblem Heroes (FEH). To know the pros and cons of making an all-dragon party and which dragon units are the best to use, read on!

Features of the Best Dragon Party

The Strengths of a Dragon Party

You can make both an offensive and defensive party

Several dragons have high stats all around at Lvl. 40, they can both be on player or enemy phase.

Since all of them can also inherit Lightning Breath+, they'll be able to counterattack regardless of range.

High scores in Arena

Several dragons also have high BST and come with premium skills to score well in the Arena.

Having merged and well-built dragon units could reach the higher tiers.

Very strong weapon refines

Older dragon units have been given improved weapon from the Weapon Refinery.

A notable example is Great Flame's special refine, which specifies that if Myrrh's HP is ≥ 25% and she's within 2 spaces of an ally, it grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5 to her and neutralizes effects that guarantee an enemy unit's follow-up attack.

The Weaknesses of a Dragon Party

Weak against dragon-effective weapons

Dragons take 1.5x damage from dragon-effective weapons like Falchion or Naga.

They are also vulnerable to Specials that are effective against dragons like Ruptured Sky.

Heroes with Effective Skills

Points Regarding Forming the Best Dragon Party

Have one unit of each color

When organizing a party, it's important to have units of different colors.

This ensures your party can defeat different types of enemy units of different attributes.

Give your units mobility assist skills

Mobility assist skills like Draw Back and Reposition greatly help with having your units retreat or close the gap between them and their foes, so consider inheriting these to your party.

Use dedicated dragon skills

There are several skills that dragons can use to buff either themselves and their allies, or make themselves tougher to defeat.

Ward Dragons Grants Def/Res+4 to dragon allies within 2 spaces during combat.

Hone Dragons At start of turn, grants Atk/Spd+6 to adjacent dragon allies for 1 turn.

Goad Dragons Grants Atk/Spd +4 to dragon allies within 2 spaces during combat.

Fortify Dragons At start of turn, grants Def/Res+6 to adjacent dragon allies for 1 turn.

Dragon Wall 3 If unit's Res > foe's Res, reduces damage from attacks during combat and from area-of-effect Specials (excluding Røkkr area-of-effect Specials) by percentage = difference between stats x 4 (max 40%).

Divine Fang At start of turn, grants "effective against dragons" to adjacent allies for 1 turn.

Dragon's Ire 3 If unit's HP ≥ 50% and foe initiates combat, neutralizes effects that prevent unit's follow-up attacks and unit makes a guaranteed follow-up attack.

These skills synergize very well in an all-dragon party, as they increase their overall durability and firepower.

Examples of the Best Dragon Party

Recommended Dragon Party Example

Unit	Build
Legendary Corrin (F)	: Primordial Breath : Reposition : Negating Fang	: Distant Counter : Shield Pulse 3 : Joint Drive Atk : Atk Smoke 3
Sothis	: Sublime Surge : Reposition : Sirius	: Swift Sparrow 3 : Windsweep 3 : Spd Smoke 3 : Flashing Blade 3
Myrrh	: Great Flame (Special Refine) : Reposition : Aether	: Distant Counter : Quick Riposte 3 : Guidance 3 : Iote's Shield
Ninian	: Lightning Breath+ (Spd Refine) : Dance : Iceberg	: Fury 4 : Wings of Mercy 3 : Fortify Dragons : Drive Atk 2

This is an example all-dragon party. All units here can counterattack regardless of range and are highly durable due to their stats and their skills.

Having a dragon per color ensures they can tackle a variety of enemy units, with special buffs for each other on Corrin's, Myrrh's, and Ninian's C skills.

Skill Inheritance Points

Inherit skills that guarantee follow-up attacks

Several dragon units have low Spd, and as such, require skills like Quick Riposte 3 or Bold Fighter 3 (or both!) in order to land consecutive attacks.

These makes your units flexible enough to be dual-phase and will also increase their firepower.

Have skills to help out armored units

The game has several armored dragon units like Idunn and Duma, who are restricted to moving only 1 space on their turn.

You can give them skills like Armor March 3 or equip them with the Armored Boots Sacred Seal to help with their mobility.

Or you can give a flying dragon unit Guidance 3 so that infantry and armored allies within 2 spaces can move to an adjacent space to them.

Lv. 40	HP 44 (44)	Atk 51 (35)	Spd 44 (41)	Def 30 (30)	Res 35 (35)

Lv. 1	HP 15	Atk 23	Spd 7	Def 6	Res 5

Default Skills
： Ethereal Breath ：- ： Sol			： Distant Counter ： Special Fighter 3 ： Dragon Valor 3 ：-

Nagi Builds and Best IVs

Nagi's weapon is loaded! Not only does it accelerate her special trigger, but it also is effective against dragons, has weapon triangle-advantage against colorless foes, and also reduces damage.

This makes her a very solid tanky unit, though her poor speed means she needs the help of Quick Riposte 3 or a fighter skill in order to make follow-up attacks.

Legendary Corrin (F)

Colorless		Colorless Breath		Infantry
Base Stats
Lv. 1	HP 15	Atk 24	Spd 7	Def 8	Res 7

Default Skills
： Primordial Breath ：- ： Negating Fang II			： Distant Counter ： Guard 4 ： Joint Drive Atk ：-

Legendary Corrin (F) Builds and Best IVs

One of the most powerful units in the game, Legendary Corrin's weapon accelerates her Special trigger and also grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5 to her if an enemy unit initiates or their HP is = 100%.

Her Special also reduces damage while amplifying her own, making her extremely difficult to defeat.

Fallen Tiki (Young)

Colorless		Colorless Breath		Armored
Base Stats
Lv. 1	HP 17	Atk 26	Spd 10	Def 4	Res 6
Lv. 40	HP 45 (45)	Atk 52 (36)	Spd 34 (34)	Def 37 (37)	Res 28 (28)
Default Skills
： Razing Breath ：- ： Ignis			： Brazen Atk/Spd 3 ： Special Fighter 3 ： Solitary Dream ：-

Fallen Tiki (Young) Builds and Best IVs

Fallen Tiki synergizes well with all-dragon teams as her C skill triggers if she is adjacent to dragon allies or not adjacent to any allies.

It grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+4 and also allows her to move an extra space, which is really good for an armored unit.

Her weapon also allows her to counteattack regardless of range and is effective against dragons.

Being a colorless unit, that means she can defeat different dragons of different color attributes without worrying about herself being at weapon triangle-disadvantage.

Fallen Corrin (F)

Colorless		Colorless Breath		Infantry
Base Stats
Lv. 1	HP 15	Atk 26	Spd 7	Def 7	Res 5
Lv. 40	HP 43 (43)	Atk 54 (35)	Spd 37 (37)	Def 31 (31)	Res 27 (27)
Default Skills
： Savage Breath ：- ： Dragon Fang			： Atk/Spd Solo 3 ： Sudden Panic 3 ：- ：-

Fallen Corrin (F) Builds and Best IVs

Fallen Corrin's weapon grants her different amounts of Atk/Spd/Def/Res depending on the number of allies nearby, maxing out at +6 if she does not have any ally within 2 spaces.

This makes her extremely difficult to defeat if she is the last one standing, but also difficult to defeat if her allies have any skills like Drive Atk 2 or Drive Spd 2 to buff her.

Duma

Colorless		Colorless Breath		Armored
Base Stats
Lv. 1	HP 24	Atk 29	Spd 6	Def 8	Res 7
Lv. 40	HP 48 (48)	Atk 59 (40)	Spd 21 (21)	Def 34 (34)	Res 31 (31)
Default Skills
： Fell Breath ：- ： Draconic Aura			： Fury 4 ： Bold Fighter 3 ： Upheaval+ ：-

Duma Builds and Best IVs

Duma is a common unit seen in Aether Raids as he is a Mythic Hero with the ability to give his allies HP+5 and Atk+3 if he is deployed during his season.

Being a colorless unit, that means he can defeat different dragons of different color attributes without worrying about himself being at weapon triangle-disadvantage.

His weapon prevents enemy units from making follow-up attacks if their HP < 100%, which is easy to do since his C skill deals 7 damage to all his foes at the start of Turn 1.
