The Scorpions can't look up at the sky at 90 degrees, there's some maximum angle of attack they have, so if she came straight down at them, they'd have been no problem to take out...especially if dragonfire is as foreful as it appears in E5, she could have taken out that whole fleet in one fell swoop as they were very close together IIRC. | |

She could have risked everything and slaughtered the fleet and a likely chance of Drogon getting injured making him less active on the day of the real battle. Or she could escape, recuperate and attack on the actual battle field. She was wise. To be honest. (Also she could have attacked them from behind, and won) | |
| May 13, 2019 at 15:04 | comment | added | Sourav Ghosh | Thanks for sharing viewpoint, however: (1) Dani, for one is not known for cool-headed strategies. (2) Given the scenario (possible death of someone as close as Missandei) - if they had the capability, weren't they suppose to improvise? Remember, Dani did it just beforehand (seeing the Dothraki getting slaughtered)... (3) Distance between Dragonstone and Kings landing is not too small - Even if Dani was caught by element of surprise - she had enough time to retaliate on a fleet of only 11 ships - possibly killing Cersei's right hand man - Euron. Why's not take the chance? | |
