Fire/Death is a rather powerful combination that's already covered by several pretenders. What about Fire/Air and Water/(Death or Earth)
Yea, fire/air works too, I see fire/death as more themematc, they are made to be together. Water/Death can be a powerful bless combo and water/earth just doesn't go together, I am thinking of a water dragon as spending all its time either in the water or air.

I suppose another way would just be to attach a path of air to them all.

Fire/air
Water/air
Nature/air

This is thematic as dragons fly, thus are at home in the air element. Air is a weak bless, so no worries about being overpowered for a bless strategy either.

I find dragons rather well balanced as they are. My only issue is perhaps that the blue dragon overshadows red and green a bit.

Because of the larger AoE breath attack, the high defence, or the fact that w9 works very well as a bless on its own?

Yes, the bonus defense and the fact if you are doing a single 9, water is almost always the first bless choice.

I say just give him slightly less hp than the others. Put something in the description saying he's slightly smaller.

Only a very minor change, but makes sense if he's basically just a touch better than the others.
