Guess: Azure Dragons v. Nightmares

A short guessing game.

Suppose a 1-on-1 one-stack vs. one-stack battle, with no magic involved.

A stack of roughly how many Azure Dragons do you need to be able to defeat a stack of 100 Nightmares with high probability?

Try to answer without testing.

Here are the stats of both creatures, by the way, to provoke more guesses.

Nightmare
Attack: 18
Defense: 16
Damage: 20-24
Health: 110
Special: Death Stare, Immune to mind spells, Fearless

Azure Dragon
Attack: 50
Defense: 50
Damage: 70-80
Health: 1000
Special: Fear

First to guess correctly gets a free nightmare. LOL

You will need about 22 Azuredragons to be sure to survive that fight even if the nightmares are lucky and make max. deathstare every round (with retail and attack)

If you only have 10 Azure dragons from the start, they will die in first round after retail and attack.

Better judged by 12 than carried by 6.

Point given to angelito. Already with 19 Azure Dragons you win with high probability, but sometimes even with 20 you can lose (rare). 22 is more of a safe bet. 18 Azure Dragons will mostly likely get their ass kicked, if the Nightmare get their max death stare at least once.
