Flame-destroyer
Strong vs. Infantry and Structures
Dragon-veneration in Rhûn developed long ago as an offshoot of Melkor-worship. Many have attempted to harness the power of these creatures, but to little enduring success. The Flame-destroyer harbours the power of the fire-drake without the unpredictability and personal danger that is often associated with them, laying waste to enemy armies and fortifications at the word of an officer rather than at the strange whims of a dragon.

Weapons & attack range
Damage is per hit, before target armor. Different projectile upgrades are shown separately. Attack timing can also depend on animation; these values are not a DPS estimate.
