The solid ground nurtured plant form from the Virgonian Dragon is its greatest advantage that provides the grounding, sustainability and regenerative aspect of which the Aquarian Dragon does not have. But the combat system of the Aquarian Dragon is more flexible and rather active which less conservative players might enjoy in correlations of the battlefield.

Virgonian Dragon n Capricorian Dragon: Capricorian Dragon (Capricorn) is similar to Virgonian Dragon owing to the Earth Element attached to it but it is different since it is more about getting things done, and having order.
