Lord of Dragovians Boss Fight:

Recommended Level: 42 (Source notes they were level 45 and still struggled)

HP: 8,250

EXP: 12,680

Gold: 0

Drops: Seed of Skill

Attacks:

  • Bite: 180-220 damage
  • Critical Hit: 440-470 damage (High chance to kill party members, even with Kabuff)
  • Scorch: 50-150 fire-based breath attack to All Allies
  • War Cry: Chance to stun party members

Strategy:

  • Bring several Elfin Elixirs for Angelo.
  • Have two Sage's Stones, one for Hero and one for Jessica.
  • Give Jessica a Timbrel of Tension.
  • Prioritize defense and health.
  • Psyche Up can be risky due to War Cries or KOs.
  • Hero and Yangus: Psyche Up + Attack. Hero may need to heal if Angelo is down or an Omniheal is critical.
  • Angelo: Kabuff may not be very useful. Start with Oomph on Yangus. Otherwise, focus on Healing or Zinging.
  • Jessica: Start with Timbrel of Tension. Cast Insulatle. Acceleratle is optional. Use Kazing if Angelo dies. Her main role is to Oomph and use the Timbrel.
