Black Dragons

Auto-translated
In a confrontation between the black and red dragons, it's difficult to say which is better. The black dragon has immunity to magic, which means that chaos magic, dark magic, and divine retribution from light magic will not affect it. As for the summoning school, only one spell really matters in the late game – Phantom, and even then, it only makes sense to use it on the knight's steeds. Its drawbacks include the fact that, firstly, the dark elf's Armageddon spell pierces the dragon's immunity, making it less effective, and secondly, buffs cannot be applied to the black dragon. The most common buffs that could be applied to the black dragon are the witch's punishing strike and the bonus from the dwarf king's set, which grants expert-level stone skin and 70% dodge. The red dragon has no immunity, but buffs can be applied to it, and it can attack with 1.5 times the damage, and even without retaliation. For example, if you apply the witch's punishing strike to it, it will receive a +45% damage bonus, which is then multiplied by 1.5 from the burning skill, resulting in more than a 2x increase in damage. The main drawback of the red dragon is that it needs to stand still to attack, while the enemy will attack other units to avoid being hit by the dragon's ability, and it will most likely only be possible to use it when all other units are already dead, except perhaps for hydras.
