Crystal Dragons useless?

[Maykin53]

Hi all.

Looking at the stats and abilities for Crystal Dragons and Emerald Dragons, it appears the Crystal Dragon has less stats (less attack and defence, equal in other stats), and doesn't get the Earth Immunity that Emerald Dragons do.

What's the point in Crystal Dragons then? When would you ever bother to get them instead of the Emerald Dragon?

The Prismatic breath is a random breath attack, which can strike more than 2 enemies (up to 5, depend on luck value), and never affect your creatures.

The Prismatic Breath will hit 1 to 5 tiles, starting at the target and spreading in a random direction behind it. The number of tiles hit depends on the creature's Luck: 1+(random(1;10)+Luck)/2, rounded down and limited to 5. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
