Game of Thrones: Dragonfire
Vaeldra
Taunt protector and control
Vaeldra is an Epic protector whose Taunt, mitigation and later damage support can make a stronger ally easier to field. Her narrow positive affinity makes the troop decision especially important.

Command
Lure
The reviewed Command can Taunt three enemies and adds Physical damage on odd rounds. The source leaves the Taunt roll scope unresolved, so it should not be described as guaranteed control.
Vanguard · Level 16+
Warrior's Resilience
From Dragon Level 16 in the centre, Vaeldra reduces her own incoming damage and improves Tactical damage for the left-flank ally.
Habits
Each Habit unlocks at the Star Rank shown.

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.
