Overview

Drogan, the Dark Inferno in Summoners War: Sky Arena, is a 3★ Attack-type monster obtainable through Light & Darkness Scrolls or the Temple of Wishes. Unlike other monsters, Summoners War Drogan Dark Inferno cannot be fed Devilmons for skill-ups—instead, you’ll need to use nine other Infernos to fully skill him. When awakened, Drogan receives a significant stat boost, especially in HP, with his level 40 stats reaching around 8,400 HP, 878 ATK, and 373 DEF with a base speed of 95. His kit is built around critical hits and retaliation damage, making him an intriguing glass-cannon option for niche roles.

Drogan’s first skill, Dark Smash, is a single-target attack that boosts his attack bar by 30% when it lands a critical hit, encouraging builds with high Crit Rate. His second skill, Hell Shadow, is an AoE attack that has a 70% chance to apply Defense Break for two turns, with a 3-turn cooldown when max-skilled—useful for setting up team-wide damage. The most unique part of his kit is his awakened passive, Last Curse, which activates upon his death. It deals damage equal to 33% of his max HP to the attacker and applies Heal Block for one turn, but it has a long 10-turn cooldown, limiting its utility in longer fights.

To obtain Drogan (Dark Inferno) in Summoners War: Sky Arena, here’s what you need to know:

1. Summon via Light & Darkness (L&D) Scrolls
   Drogan can be pulled directly from the Light & Darkness summoning pool—this is the primary method.

Strategy

Strategically, Drogan (Dark Inferno) is best used as a situational nuker and utility attacker in both PvE and certain PvP scenarios. His first skill, Dark Smash, gains momentum through critical hits by boosting his Attack Bar, allowing for quicker turn cycling when built with high Crit Rate. His second skill, Hell Shadow, provides valuable AoE damage with a chance to apply Defense Break to all enemies, making him a solid setup unit in cleave or AoE teams.

What truly sets Drogan apart is his passive skill, Last Curse, which activates upon his death, dealing significant damage (33% of his max HP) to the enemy that lands the killing blow while applying Heal Block. This makes him a risky target for enemies and a useful counterpick against sustain-heavy teams. Drogan performs well in content where quick kills and disruption are key—like Trial of Ascension (ToA), lower stages of Giants and Necro dungeons, or as a surprise threat in PvP offense.

However, his low base stats and cooldown-dependent passive require careful rune optimization, team protection, and timing to avoid early elimination. Pairing him with allies that apply Crowd Control or Strip buffs can maximize his impact before he goes down. Overall, he shines in fast-paced fights that benefit from burst damage and punishing enemy aggression.

Strength and Weakness

Strength: Drogan (Dark Inferno) has several notable strengths that make him a valuable, if situational, unit in Summoners War. First, his passive skill, Last Curse, gives him unique utility by punishing enemies who kill him, dealing 33% of his max HP in damage and applying Heal Block for one turn—this can swing fights against sustain-heavy or careless teams.

Weakness: Despite his unique kit, Drogan (Dark Inferno) comes with several key weaknesses that limit his viability, especially in higher-level competitive content. His biggest drawback is his low base survivability—with modest defense and only slightly above-average HP for a 3★ unit, he is vulnerable to being eliminated early before contributing much.

Synergy

Drogan (Dark Inferno) synergizes best with teams that can either capitalize on his setup potential or support his glass-cannon playstyle. Since his second skill, Hell Shadow, provides AoE Defense Break, he works well alongside strong AoE nukers like Lushen, Argen (Wind Elven Ranger), or Hwahee (Fire Sky Dancer), who can take advantage of weakened enemies to wipe teams. His Last Curse passive adds an element of deterrence, so pairing him with units that taunt, provoke, or manipulate enemy targeting—such as Jeanne (Light Paladin) or provoke tanks—can bait enemies into killing Drogan and triggering his death effect at the right time.

He also benefits greatly from turn manipulators and buff strippers, such as Spectra (Fire Griffon) for speed control or Tiana (Wind Polar Queen) for full-strip setups, ensuring his Defense Break lands and his team acts before enemies. Because Drogan’s passive scales with HP, pairing him with HP buffers or shielding supports like Fran (Light Fairy Queen) or Chloe (Fire Epikion Priest) can help him survive just long enough to deliver damage and disrupt healing.

In PvE content, Drogan synergizes with multi-hit or AoE teams that can follow up on his defense breaks, especially in Giants or Necro runs. In PvP, he fits into cleave teams or revenge comps, where his death can set up a punishing follow-up by damage dealers. Overall, he pairs best with allies who amplify burst potential, protect him early, or take advantage of the disruption his death causes.
