What Dragon is good at

• High-rarity damage dealer (sun icon, 6★).
• Its human form punches one zombie and sets it on fire.
• Range grade A in one player's panel.

Weaknesses and unknowns

• Placement limit 2 and a $600 placement cost.
• Very expensive evolution: a 6-star item, 15,000 Pencils and large amounts of dust and bones.
• How to obtain Dragon is not confirmed yet.

Where to place Dragon

• Place Dragon near the path; its human-form attack punches one zombie at a time.
• Because only 2 can be placed, upgrade them fully before spending on other units.

Good pairings

These are suggestions based on the developer's and in-game ability descriptions, not on measured stats.

• Banker: Banker's income helps pay Dragon's $600 placement and upgrades.
• Gluer: Gluer slows zombies so they burn for longer inside Dragon's range.
• The General: Players say The General buffs nearby units; place Dragon next to him.

Units are summoned with Crayons on the summon banner in the mall lobby. Multi-summons of up to 50 are available, and players report that multi-summons do not raise your odds. Every summon can also roll a Shiny version: 1% normally, or 3% with the Shiny Hunter game pass (499 Robux), from player level 10. The VIP pass (399 Robux) gives 10% off summons. Free Crayons come from codes while they are active, and the beginner's guide lists other early sources.

Levelling, traits and evolution

Like every unit, Dragon levels up with XP from matches, Pencils and Stasis Pods (which train a unit over time while you are away). Players report that Stamps raise the level cap. Traits are painted on with Paint Pots and can be buffs such as damage, range, boss damage or cash, or debuffs. Stat Chips and Super Chips reroll a unit's stats, and Gear from your Pencil Case can be equipped. Open the unit in game to see the materials its evolution needs.

Dragon evolution: Unlocks his full dragon form. Requirements shown in game: level 20, a 6-star item, 15,000 Pencils, 38 Chromatic Dust, 90 Gold Dust, 70 Bones and more (11 in total). Players also mention fire wings (an Act 1 drop), emeralds and tree bark.

Notes

• The panel shows the same sun icon that the game uses for 6★ units such as The General, so we list Dragon as 6★.
• The unit panel has Human and Hybrid tabs; Hybrid is marked “when evolved”.
• A community tier list (October 4, 2026) rated Dragon among the best damage units.
