I'm not sure exactly what you are asking. I'll pretend that you asked what units it makes sense to compare Zelrig to, because I think that is an interesting question.

I think Zelrig is a unit that brings a genuinely new playstyle. The explosion-type attack makes for comparisons to DW9K and the cowboys. I think Johnny Shotgun and James Murphy can perform a similar startzone blitz but without the speed and power (or the cost) of Zelrig. Alternatively, good range and flying scream clean-up hero. He can run-and-gun (fly-and-fry?) with the best of them. However, he lacks Kaemon Awa's double attack, counterstrike and lower price, so I don't think he's top of the heap in this role.

I got burned in our last game when my unharmed Nilfheim went down to a Deadeye Dan 20 snipe. I'll never condsider having a powerful dragon to be an advantage again.

Whoever had Deadeye Dan got REALLY lucky though...

Dragons are useful in the right settings, and it's always fun to watch people run in terror from a dragon that is now eating up their comrades. (I consider all dragon attacks on squads to be devouring, cause it's more fun to imagine. =D )

They are unfortunately quite good at drawing attacks from anything around, since they happen to stand out just a bit more than a tiny little marro. =/

On that note:
Nilfheim is good overall.
SBN is good with his marro bretheren.
Charos eats melee units like Cheerios.
Mimring is good, but only when your opponents have to put some effort into reaching him.
Braxas melts squads like no tommorow, as there won't be one for the guy who had his face burned off by acid.

Braxas is actually better "overall" than Nifheim only because her narrow frame makes it easier for her to move around more maps than Nilf...ask anyone who has played Nilf on Highways and Dieways

I've been punched for calling SBN a Dragon.

Highways and Dieways was the map I had by second biggest win on this last Saturday... and I played Nilfheim. He's the best dragon. And the coolest. (Pun intended).
