How to unlock the Playing with Fire achievement in Knight Squad - Definitive Guide
I wanted to add a text guide with my videos to explain a few things about the strategy I found that finally worked VERY well and easily. When I went back to snap a clip to help a friend out, I did it first try, and almost the 2nd try until I did something really dumb.
1. At the very start, grab the laser gun, then hang out on the right side of and next to the unbreakable barrier.(reverse all directions if you prefer left side)
2. When the Dragons come on the screen, immediately run between the two dragon heads close to the wall--you cannot be hit here in the first stage.
3. using the D-pad, press either up or down and start lasering the Dragons! If the Dragon shoots a ball of fire, it will disappear quickly. If it breathes flame, you can get 6+ hits if you do it perfect.
4. Watch out for Fireballs coming from Dragons across the screen, and dodge down or up slightly as necessary.
5. As soon as the Dragons leave the screen, hurry back to Step 1's location... and repeat the above steps!
6. Focus on only one Dragon this way and kill it, then start counting how many hits you've done on the others(for example, Green-1, Purple-3, Blue-0...Green2,3,4, Purple4, Blue0... Green5,6,7,8, Purple... etc)
7. I've found that it seems to vary how many hits you make--I think it might not count hits you make as the Dragons are leaving the screen, and overall, it takes 8 good hits I think to kill a Dragon.
8. With 3 Dragons left, try to get each Dragon hit at least 7 times. The reason is when there are only 2 Dragons left, they start doing different more dangerous and unpredictable attacks.
9. When you're ready, start shooting the Dragons, and when there are two left, watch out. They start doing very dangerous flame attacks while moving--the safest place I found from the flame attacks is on the inside of the side barriers, and you have to switch halfway through to the side the Dragon isn't on. If they Dragons are doing the side moving Rapid-Fire Ball attack, it's very easy to avoid, just stay in the very middle between the side blockades. If the Dragon does the Rapid-fire Ball attack in one place, try to get behind anything you can. You are usually safe hiding in the corners of the blockades.
I hope this all helps!
Quick clip on how to start out on the Dragons:

This achievement is earned by finishing the fifth challenge. Pretty easy challenge, you just have to kill all the dragons. Here is a video guide for this achievement.
Thanks to the maker of this video: "Fun with Chainsaw!"
My only comment is that when there are only two dragons left and the one sweeps the entire side, make sure to stay as close to the dragon's mouth as possible when he reaches the top or bottom wall.
If they are appearing in all 4 corners run to the upper or lower part of the Screen and use your Chance to attack.
Pick up the laser gun and then stand behind the barrier to the right. It sort of looks like this –l so stand behind the flat part, -l ←. Once the dragons stick out their heads, run to the wall in between the heads and start shooting them with the laser. They wont be able to hit you if you’re smart. Try to avoid the fireballs if you see one coming from the other direction. Once the dragons retreat, run to the spot you were before, -l ←. Rinse and repeat until all dragons are dead.
Once you get down to two dragons they start moving around, sliding up and down. Fireballs shouldn’t be a problem, but if you’re against the far wall shooting at one and he begins to breathe fire and you see him sliding toward you, just move your way to the top or bottom corner (depending on which side of him you are) and you should be safe. It’s scary and you might think you will die, because they get close, but you should be fine.
