Oh hey, that's my bar graph!
Regarding the discussion on black draconians, I should point out that my data doesn't give very strong evidence for them actually being the weakest colour. I did a
separate long-winded post just on the statistical significance of the differences between draconian colours, but the TL;DR is:
- Grey draconians are definitely good. Significantly better than every other colour.
- Black, Mottled, and Yellow are all kind of crummy. The differences between their win rates are definitely not significant.
- Green and Red are both probably pretty good (their goodness relative to other colours is right around the borderline for 95% confidence).
(Also, to be perfectly clear, I'm using "X better than Y" as shorthand for "a typical online player is more likely to win if they get colour X", which doesn't necessarily imply that X would win more with perfect play.)
Bonus fun fact: The most common colour among draconians who quit the game at level 7 is green. The fools! Don't they know the stats? (Yellow is a very close second)
