—In-game description

The Qinglong (traditional Chinese: 青龍; simplified Chinese: 青龙) is a flying myth unit in Age of Mythology: Retold - Immortal Pillars available to the Chinese at the Temple if they Age up to the Mythic Age with Gonggong. One of the Four Auspicious Beasts from Chinese mythology, Qinglong is a graceful serpentine dragon, with its azure moniker reflected in its shimmering light blue scales. When attacking, it shoots bursts of water that damage units.

Special ability[]

  • Aqua Burst (Charged): Unleashes aquatic energy, causing a watery explosion in the targeted area and damaging all enemies there. (​35 Pierce Attack pierce applied in an area of 9. It also creates a water wave in the impact area for 1 second, dealing ​10 Divine Attack divine damage (2× multiplier vs. myth units, 0.25× vs. heroes, radially decreasing effect) to all enemies in an area of 9. Also affects heroes but not flying units. Recharge time: 20 seconds)

Strategy[]

A flying dragon that shoots water projectiles at enemies, the Qinglong can only be attacked by ranged units. Its special attack involves it triggering a watery explosion in a decently sized area, damaging a lot of enemy units at once. Human soldiers and myth units with low pierce armor are especially vulnerable. While rather expensive to mass, the Qinglong is highly powerful in groups. A group of them can take down a Titan when given sufficient support from the ground. Players can also send a small group of Qinglongs to a group of enemy villagers gathered around Gold Mines away from the safety of their base, use their Aqua Burst ability on them, and leave a dent in the enemy player's economy.

When upgraded with Rising Tide, Qinglongs gain an increase to their attack speed as they deal damage, eventually being able to attack twice as quickly. This makes them even deadlier, especially in the Wonder Age, where they have even more hit points, deal even more damage, and move even faster.

As a myth unit, the Qinglong is weak against heroes. Ranged heroes like the Godi, Pioneer, and Priest are the best option, as are all of the Greek heroes, since they switch to a ranged attack when fighting flying units. Likewise, ranged myth units are also viable against the Qinglong, especially the Fire Giant, whose projectiles deal both hack and crush damage, the former being the Qinglong's weakest armor. Qinglongs can also be taken out with ranged fortifications, especially since the Qinglong's projectiles deal pierce damage, which is usually ineffective against buildings.

The Azure Dragon, known as Qinglong in Chinese mythology, represents the direction of the East and the spring season. Alongside Baihu, Qinglong is also considered one of the protection deities in Chinese mythology.
