Who says ball of lightning isn't the best dragon ability?

[Aster]

So, the peacefulness doesn't help killing, just for the record of the highest damage?

[DGDobrev]

Precisely. Ball of lightning will kill a % of the units - regardless of the fact if there are 1000 gorguls or 1000 dragons, and no matter the Health they got.

As I said before, Peacefulness is for posterity

[Goekhan]

I use Ball of Lightning when there are many stacks with over 300-400. And when I face fast enemies, shock is really nice (especially when multiple balls are flying around together)

I'm suspicious that you can actually do even better than 134k... if you have sufficient patience. Resurrect 3, Mana Spring 3, Call of Nature 1, archdemons, and 1 gorguana... against skeleton archers and ghosts. Let the gorguana die; use the high initiative and speed of archdemons to keep them out of range of the ghosts. Whittle the skeleton archers down to just a few units, then use mana spring on your archdemons to restore mana indefinitely. Call of Nature to give the enemy ghosts a nice target to Soul Drain. You should be able to grow the enemy ghost stack to an arbitrarily large size. Then you kill off the enemy skeleton archers, resurrect your gorguana, use mark of blood + peacefulness, and follow up with Ball of Lightning.

I've never used ghosts, so I'm not certain that they drain summoned animals; that's the only point I can see where this could go wrong.

Of course it can go a lot higher. I just gave an example of how to use it and what a wicked tool it is. I didn't do it to brag, nor did I do it to play the big guy. Everyone should be free to experiment. The game gives so many options - you simply need to utilize them

Are black dragons immuned to ball of lightning ?
They never seem to get targeted
