Summary The Electro Dragon is the 13th troop unlocked in the Barracks. They are powerful air units with mediocre health and high damage. Electro Dragons have no preferred target when attacking; they will simply attack the closest building. However, once they become aware of enemy Clan Castle troops, Heroes, or Skeleton Trap skeletons (either by being attacked themselves or by being near another friendly troop under attack), they will leave their previously targeted building and instead engage the enemy troops. Once all of the nearby enemy troops are defeated, the Electro Dragons will proceed to attack the nearest structure. The Electro Dragon attacks with chain lightning, capable of hitting up to 4 other targets after the initial hit, with each successive hit inflicting 20% less damage than the previous one. In order for the lightning to chain onto another target, it must be sufficiently close to the previous target. The targets of the Electro Dragon's chain lightning are determined by distance, with hitpoints as a tiebreaker; to determine the next target, the target that is closest to the previous target and that has not yet been hit is chosen. If the closest targets are equidistant from the previous target, the one with highest (maximum) hitpoints is chosen. Thus, it chains through buildings with most hitpoints near the primary or previous target while ignoring low hitpoint buildings to make full use of its chain damage. When destroyed, the Electro Dragon causes the nearby ground to be struck randomly with lightning bolts, in a similar fashion to the Lightning Spell prior to its rework in 2020. Strategy Offensive The Electro Dragon has a short range. However, its high damage and chain ability significantly increases its practical reach. They can act as flying Bowlers (taking more space but with superior health, damage and a different hit mechanic) as they can hit multiple targets at once and help funnel in attacks. Electro Dragons are very effective against bases with clustered buildings, because it can make full usage of its chain damage. Electro Dragons work well with the Grand Warden in air mode as he can boost their health and support them. Seeking Air Mines will significantly damage your Electro Dragons. It is helpful to send in air units (such as Balloons) before the Electro Dragons to trigger any Seeking Air Mines that might ambush your army early. They can also help funnel for the Electro Dragons to enter the core of the base. You can also use a strategy called "Electro Surgery" (from the Practice Mode) by using as many Electro Dragons as possible and filling the rest of the space with Balloons. Be sure to include some Rage, Clone and Haste Spells to support the push. A Queen Walk can be used with Electro Dragons by using 4-5 Healers to as many Electro Dragons as possible (also called "Electro Queen"). Although the Healers will use space that would otherwise go to 2 or 3 Electro Dragons, this can be offset by using the walk to eliminate weaknesses for Electro Dragons, such as Air Defenses and/or Air Sweepers. If you have any extra space, you can add in some Balloons to tank for some Traps that may be set off. Heroes (especially the Barbarian King) can tank and funnel for the Electro Dragons, though one should be wary of triggering ground-only Clan Castle troops when using any Hero that isn't the Grand Warden in air mode, as they can distract the Electro Dragons. The Rage Spell and Electro Dragon make a good combo, as they can greatly amplify its already high damage. They can destroy most buildings in one hit, and even instantly kill Archer Queens alone this way (up to level 71). Note that the spell's effect only applies if the Electro Dragon is within the spell's AOE. An Air Sweeper can stall Electro Dragons indefinitely due to their slow fire rate and slow movement speed, especially if the Air Sweeper is high-leveled. To combat this, a Haste Spell can be used to quickly move the Electro Dragons back into attack range and attack before the Air Sweeper fires again, or a Freeze Spell can be used on the Sweeper to stop it from firing at all (though this is often situational, as Freeze Spells are often better used on more threatening defenses such as single-target Inferno Towers). Don't start an attack with Electro Dragons in an corner of a base as they may be split up and taken out, resulting in a defeat or poor attack. When facing an Electro Dragon in the Clan Castle, using a Poison Spell could make it so that the Electro Dragon may not even be able to charge up an actual hit due to it's already low attack speed, which can be helpful for your troops to kill it. Defensive For the lightning arc to chain, buildings must be spaced one tile apart at most. Therefore, by spacing them out further it is possible to drastically reduce their effectiveness. If there are multiple buildings that the chain lightning can jump between, the lightning will chain onto the closest building that it has not yet hit, and if there are multiple candidates for the closest building, the building with the highest initial hitpoints is chosen. Use this to your advantage to redirect lightning away from important buildings; for example, resource storages, despite their non-defensive nature, can be used as "lightning rods" in this fashion due to their high hitpoints. Clan Castle Electro Dragons on defense are very intimidating troops, as the chain lightning can be used to destroy many group of weaker troops while its high damage devastates tougher ones, unless one has a Poison Spell to damage and delay it. Electro Dragons are also able to one-shot lower level Archer Queens. This makes the Electro Dragon one of the best defending Clan Castle troops at TH9. It is able to punish rushed or inexperienced attackers. Keeping an Electro Dragon and a Balloon can kill the enemy's queen even with her ability. Its Chain Lightning allows it to be useful on defense as it can kill up to five spread-out Archers or Wizards at a time. However, its slow fire rate makes it vulnerable to be easily killed by the Archer Queen under her ability; if it is harmed by a Poison Spell at the same time, the Electro Dragon may not even be able to charge up an attack in time before it is killed. The lightning it drops upon death is strong enough to take out entire groups of Wizards and Archers. If you don't prevent the Electro Dragon's Chain Lightning, it will pick off most of your buildings and even take the Eagle Artillery out without it being able to do much damage or even snipe the Archer Queen. If you can see a possible Electro Dragon spot that chains all the way to an Air Defense, then use a Hidden Tesla to redirect the shot and also make sure that Air Defense can snipe that possible Electro Dragon Spot to protect it. The Air Sweeper can push back the Electro Dragon far enough that when it gets back to a building and is about to fire, it can push it back. Basically, it can repeatedly stall the Dragon for a very long time. If you can guess where an attacker will place their Electro Dragon army, then cover it with the Air Sweeper. A max level Air Sweeper itself can push Electro Dragons far enough that they will never reach it. This could force the use of a Rage Spell, Freeze Spell or Haste Spell that could be used more effectively elsewhere. Having a Lava Hound could prove useful against an Electro Dragon attack, as its high hitpoints and large number of Lava Pups spawned on death stalls an Electro Dragon attack significantly. However, since the Lava Hound targets ground only, it will not appear unless ground troops (such as your Heroes) are placed in the vicinity. Upgrade Differences The Electro Dragon undergoes significant visual changes at only level 4 and 5. At level 1, the Electro Dragon appears as a large blue dragon with large azure wings. It has a large horn on the head and several light blue spikes on its back, as well as a tail with flippers. The Electro Dragon does not change in appearance between level 1-3, but its size grows larger. At level 4, the Electro Dragon's wings gain white highlights. At level 5, the Electro Dragon gains a green, metallic collar with glowing blue line on it that slowly gets brighter as the Electro Dragon's spikes light up. The Electro Dragon also produces electricity from its wings.

[@dolorous07]

I love genshin impact. however, There are two types of computer graphics: raster graphics, where each pixel is separately defined (as in a digital photograph), and vector graphics, where mathematical formulas are used to draw lines and shapes, which are then interpreted at the viewer's end to produce the graphic. Using vectors results in infinitely sharp graphics and often smaller files, but, when complex, like vectors, take time to render and may have larger file sizes than a raster equivalent. In 1950, the first computer-driven display was attached to MIT's Whirlwind I computer to generate simple pictures. This was followed by MIT's TX-0 and TX-2, interactive computing which increased interest in computer graphics during the late 1950s. In 1962, Ivan Sutherland invented Sketchpad, an innovative program that influenced alternative forms of interaction with computers. In the mid-1960s, large computer graphics research projects were begun at MIT, General Motors, Bell Labs, and Lockheed Corporation. Douglas T. Ross of MIT developed an advanced compiler language for graphics programming. S.A.Coons, also at MIT, and J. C. Ferguson at Boeing, began work in sculptured surfaces. GM developed their DAC-1 system, and other companies, such as Douglas, Lockheed, and McDonnell, also made significant developments. In 1968, ray tracing was first described by Arthur Appel of the IBM Research Center, Yorktown Heights, N.Y.[1] During the late 1970s, personal computers became more powerful, capable of drawing both basic and complex shapes and designs. In the 1980s, artists and graphic designers began to see the personal computer, particularly the Commodore Amiga and Macintosh, as a serious design tool, one that could save time and draw more accurately than other methods. 3D computer graphics became possible in the late 1980s with the powerful SGI computers, which were later used to create some of the first fully computer-generated short films at Pixar. The Macintosh remains one of the most popular tools for computer graphics in graphic design studios and businesses. Modern computer systems, dating from the 1980s and onwards, often use a graphical user interface (GUI) to present data and information with symbols, icons, and pictures, rather than text. Graphics are one of the five key elements of multimedia technology. 3D graphics became more popular in the 1990s in gaming, multimedia, and animation. In 1996, Quake, one of the first fully 3D games, was released. In 1995, Toy Story, the first full-length computer-generated animation film, was released in cinemas. Since then, computer graphics have become more accurate and detailed, due to more advanced computers and better 3D modeling software applications, such as Maya, 3D Studio Max, and Cinema 4D. Another use of computer graphics is screensavers, originally intended to prevent the layout of much-used GUIs from 'burning into' the computer screen. They have since evolved into true pieces of art, their practical purpose obsolete; modern screens are not susceptible to such artifacts. 0/100

I’m just going to say it. Art Style>>>>>>Graphics Like seriously, art style puts the character and charm into a game way more then graphics imo. It’s why I find games like Souls, Hollow Knight, Ori, Doom Eternal, HL2, and many, many more games so enduring.

[@korbenharrison434]

@@Stupididiot67 For Reals. Sure, maybe it's not as graphically intense as something like TLOU2 or RDR2, but Elden Ring is straight up eye candy for me. Plus, it still has probably the best graphics in the entire series.

Dude.... finally someone who agrees with me, i play older titles because their gameplay is good or more cartoony stylised where graphics don't matter. the people who complain about the graphics looking bad and then complaining about the frame rate is fucking rude because the developers put alot of time and effort in every task to make it work with modern hardware without it bursting in flames, and those fuckers saying having 60 or over frames is important in games... stfu because your eyes can only see up to 30 so your forcing your computer to run double the frames than your brain will even process i as someone who has a dream to be a game developer would rather make a good (not god tier) looking game at 30 FPS than force every to 60 FPS and having 1500x2300 textures, having resolution sizes i understand because moniters come at different sizes and MHz but that "yOu HaVe To HaVe MoRe ThAn 60 FpS aNd 4K gRaPhIcS" need to shut up

[@flameonoodle1172]

I agree with everything except for FPS. There's times where, unlike graphics, it can actually effect gameplay. A perfect example is Mario & Luigi Dream Team, one of the best 3DS and RPG games ever in my opinion. But it's artificially brutal due to latency and it's 30FPS limitations. I actually can't beat the first final boss (There's three) because there's an attack where you have a half-second window where you need to deflect a magic orb. Said window is terribly telegraphed and even if you can guess the window, input latency will cause you to strike just a few frames too late. It sounds like im nitpicking but it's a really major issue with more then just one example. I too dream of being a game developer, and in my mind I vision an okay-Stylish looking game at a smooth 60 FPS. Even if it took extra time to optimize.

[@buddygettingnutty8351]

@@flameonoodle1172 FPS is very important more important than the "graphics" so seeing people kind of just tossing it aside bugs me the wrong way. Also this guy is really stupid because he said your eyes can only see 30 fps which is factually wrong, your eyes can see a lot more than 30. Not to mention games can look absolutely beautiful while running at 60 now in days we are not living in 2005.

Summary The Electro Dragon is the 13th troop unlocked in the Barracks. They are powerful air units with mediocre health and high damage. Electro Dragons have no preferred target when attacking; they will simply attack the closest building. However, once they become aware of enemy Clan Castle troops, Heroes, or Skeleton Trap skeletons (either by being attacked themselves or by being near another friendly troop under attack), they will leave their previously targeted building and instead engage the enemy troops. Once all of the nearby enemy troops are defeated, the Electro Dragons will proceed to attack the nearest structure. The Electro Dragon attacks with chain lightning, capable of hitting up to 4 other targets after the initial hit, with each successive hit inflicting 20% less damage than the previous one. In order for the lightning to chain onto another target, it must be sufficiently close to the previous target. The targets of the Electro Dragon's chain lightning are determined by distance, with hitpoints as a tiebreaker; to determine the next target, the target that is closest to the previous target and that has not yet been hit is chosen. If the closest targets are equidistant from the previous target, the one with highest (maximum) hitpoints is chosen. Thus, it chains through buildings with most hitpoints near the primary or previous target while ignoring low hitpoint buildings to make full use of its chain damage. When destroyed, the Electro Dragon causes the nearby ground to be struck randomly with lightning bolts, in a similar fashion to the Lightning Spell prior to its rework in 2020. Strategy Offensive The Electro Dragon has a short range. However, its high damage and chain ability significantly increases its practical reach. They can act as flying Bowlers (taking more space but with superior health, damage and a different hit mechanic) as they can hit multiple targets at once and help funnel in attacks. Electro Dragons are very effective against bases with clustered buildings, because it can make full usage of its chain damage. Electro Dragons work well with the Grand Warden in air mode as he can boost their health and support them. Seeking Air Mines will significantly damage your Electro Dragons. It is helpful to send in air units (such as Balloons) before the Electro Dragons to trigger any Seeking Air Mines that might ambush your army early. They can also help funnel for the Electro Dragons to enter the core of the base. You can also use a strategy called "Electro Surgery" (from the Practice Mode) by using as many Electro Dragons as possible and filling the rest of the space with Balloons. Be sure to include some Rage, Clone and Haste Spells to support the push. A Queen Walk can be used with Electro Dragons by using 4-5 Healers to as many Electro Dragons as possible (also called "Electro Queen"). Although the Healers will use space that would otherwise go to 2 or 3 Electro Dragons, this can be offset by using the walk to eliminate weaknesses for Electro Dragons, such as Air Defenses and/or Air Sweepers. If you have any extra space, you can add in some Balloons to tank for some Traps that may be set off. Heroes (especially the Barbarian King) can tank and funnel for the Electro Dragons, though one should be wary of triggering ground-only Clan Castle troops when using any Hero that isn't the Grand Warden in air mode, as they can distract the Electro Dragons. The Rage Spell and Electro Dragon make a good combo, as they can greatly amplify its already high damage. They can destroy most buildings in one hit, and even instantly kill Archer Queens alone this way (up to level 71). Note that the spell's effect only applies if the Electro Dragon is within the spell's AOE. An Air Sweeper can stall Electro Dragons indefinitely due to their slow fire rate and slow movement speed, especially if the Air Sweeper is high-leveled. To combat this, a Haste Spell can be used to quickly move the Electro Dragons back into attack range and attack before the Air Sweeper fires again, or a Freeze Spell can be used on the Sweeper to stop it from firing at all (though this is often situational, as Freeze Spells are often better used on more threatening defenses such as single-target Inferno Towers). Don't start an attack with Electro Dragons in an corner of a base as they may be split up and taken out, resulting in a defeat or poor attack. When facing an Electro Dragon in the Clan Castle, using a Poison Spell could make it so that the Electro Dragon may not even be able to charge up an actual hit due to it's already low attack speed, which can be helpful for your troops to kill it. Defensive For the lightning arc to chain, buildings must be spaced one tile apart at most. Therefore, by spacing them out further it is possible to drastically reduce their effectiveness. If there are multiple buildings that the chain lightning can jump between, the lightning will chain onto the closest building that it has not yet hit, and if there are multiple candidates for the closest building, the building with the highest initial hitpoints is chosen. Use this to your advantage to redirect lightning away from important buildings; for example, resource storages, despite their non-defensive nature, can be used as "lightning rods" in this fashion due to their high hitpoints. Clan Castle Electro Dragons on defense are very intimidating troops, as the chain lightning can be used to destroy many group of weaker troops while its high damage devastates tougher ones, unless one has a Poison Spell to damage and delay it. Electro Dragons are also able to one-shot lower level Archer Queens. This makes the Electro Dragon one of the best defending Clan Castle troops at TH9. It is able to punish rushed or inexperienced attackers. Keeping an Electro Dragon and a Balloon can kill the enemy's queen even with her ability. Its Chain Lightning allows it to be useful on defense as it can kill up to five spread-out Archers or Wizards at a time. However, its slow fire rate makes it vulnerable to be easily killed by the Archer Queen under her ability; if it is harmed by a Poison Spell at the same time, the Electro Dragon may not even be able to charge up an attack in time before it is killed. The lightning it drops upon death is strong enough to take out entire groups of Wizards and Archers. If you don't prevent the Electro Dragon's Chain Lightning, it will pick off most of your buildings and even take the Eagle Artillery out without it being able to do much damage or even snipe the Archer Queen. If you can see a possible Electro Dragon spot that chains all the way to an Air Defense, then use a Hidden Tesla to redirect the shot and also make sure that Air Defense can snipe that possible Electro Dragon Spot to protect it. The Air Sweeper can push back the Electro Dragon far enough that when it gets back to a building and is about to fire, it can push it back. Basically, it can repeatedly stall the Dragon for a very long time. If you can guess where an attacker will place their Electro Dragon army, then cover it with the Air Sweeper. A max level Air Sweeper itself can push Electro Dragons far enough that they will never reach it. This could force the use of a Rage Spell, Freeze Spell or Haste Spell that could be used more effectively elsewhere. Having a Lava Hound could prove useful against an Electro Dragon attack, as its high hitpoints and large number of Lava Pups spawned on death stalls an Electro Dragon attack significantly. However, since the Lava Hound targets ground only, it will not appear unless ground troops (such as your Heroes) are placed in the vicinity. Upgrade Differences The Electro Dragon undergoes significant visual changes at only level 4 and 5. At level 1, the Electro Dragon appears as a large blue dragon with large azure wings. It has a large horn on the head and several light blue spikes on its back, as well as a tail with flippers. The Electro Dragon does not change in appearance between level 1-3, but its size grows larger. At level 4, the Electro Dragon's wings gain white highlights. At level 5, the Electro Dragon gains a green, metallic collar with glowing blue line on it that slowly gets brighter as the Electro Dragon's spikes light up. The Electro Dragon also produces electricity from its wings.

People who complain about graphical fidelity are just on another level. Like honestly, Elden Ring is one of the best games I’ve ever played, and I would recommend it as a first souls-borne-sekiro experience. Because it’s general graphics are incredible, and the gameplay matches this perfectly. While people will struggle with bosses depending on the types of games and their difficulty, it is definitely a really good game that I’d recommend to anybody looking for a game they want to spend $60/€58 or whatever type of currency you’re looking to spend. And people bash it. And then there’s games like BF2042 which people shill for. I can understand it if you have nowhere else to go, but if you’re gonna call Elden Ring terrible but then do a 180 and say BF2042 is an infinitely better game because of *Graphical fidelity,* then you really need to rethink your criticism abilities.

the only thing i use Metacritic for at this point is making sure a random indie on sale isn't in the red. Anyways Ghost of Tsushima was proof that any piece of mediocrity can become a lionized messiah through Metacritic. The whole TLOU2 and GoT thing is like, the zenith of why Metacritic doesn't work. People only got to Metacritic to give a 0 on something they dont like, or a 10 on something because "irony" or "it's NOT [thing i dont like]" But it's mainly the fault of the industry itself where Metacritic is genuinely the closest thing people have to a way to vocalize their discontent when publishers blatantly ignore their audiences and treat them like cattle.
