Game of Thrones: Dragonfire
Smoketail
Fire pressure and Weakened payoff
Smoketail uses Fire and suppression in Spearmen armies. Weakened partners activate additional suppression; Champion counters remain matchup information, not a general rating bonus.

Command
Veilflame
Community screenshot transcription: Fire attacks on two adjacent enemies on rounds 2, 5 and 8, followed by personal Evade; Champion targets improve Evade. The official guide mislabels the Vanguard as Command, so this base cycle remains community-supported.
Vanguard · Level 16+
Hunter's Wrath
From Level 16 in Vanguard, improves personal Fire output and the right ally's Strength and Initiative. Attribute support is described but not converted into an invented damage bonus.
Habits
Each Habit unlocks at the Star Rank shown.
- 2★
Ashen Phantom
Suppresses Fire and Tactical output of Weakened enemies each round; stronger against Champions.
- 4★
Ember Snare
Can Burn one enemy for two rounds and suppress Initiative and Intelligence; prefers the enemy left flank.
- 6★
Unraveled
Weakened enemies trigger wider attribute suppression, enhanced against Champions. Exact stacking remains unscored.
- 8★
Backdraft
Increases the opposing enemy’s Fire exposure at combat start. This is not the named Vulnerable status.
- 10★
Champion's Scourge
Adds three-target Fire attacks on rounds 3, 6 and 9; triple damage against Champions is contextual only.
Skill summaries are original explanations of reviewed community records. Vanguard means the centre slot; its skill requires Dragon Level 16. Basic Attacks are separate from the skill damage shown above.

Sources and uncertainty
Skills, rarity, breed, affinities and Habit unlocks use Wyrmwise's reviewed catalogue records, including Dragonfire Lab 0.23.5. They are reviewed community mechanics, not publisher confirmation of every effect. Tactical roles, placement and partner guidance are Wyrmwise inferences from those mechanics.
Official guide reviewed 7 October 2026. Habit unlocks (2/4/6/8/10 Stars) are community-supported by Dragonfire Formations, not independently verified screenshots. Missing rates and scaling are not inferred. The official guide’s Command heading contains Vanguard behaviour; the base Veilflame cycle uses labelled community transcription.
