Tutorial:Dragon Fights Guide

"Dragons are clearly not profitable now so be careful with your coins before placing"

①Basic Items
Players can attack the dragon with bows from a distance, or use a sword to do melee damage while it is not moving. Due to the Dragon's speed, strength, and large amount of health, it is recommended to use these items:

1. Armors, Weapons, Tools and support items

 * Any decent armor, Dragon Armor or stronger gear
 * Keeps you alive when the dragon uses its abilities.


 * Runaan's Bow or other strong bows, with basic level 5 Enchantments, including Snipe, Power, and Aiming.
 * Allows you to do massive ranged damage to the dragon, which is the main method due to the dragon rarely perching and constantly being in the air.


 * Aspect of the End and/or Grappling Hook
 * For increased mobility and melee damage.


 * Radiant Power Orb
 * For the health regeneration ability.

2. Potions

 * Archery Potions
 * Strength Potions
 * Critical Potions
 * Spirit Potions
 * Rabbit/Jump Boost Potions

Or, instead of using all those potions, you could use a God Potion, bought from Elizabeth for 1500 SkyBlock Bits



3. Pets

 * Any pet with strength and/or critical damage bonus, the Variant of the Griffin is recommended.
 * Any pets with damage increasing abilities, such as the Tiger.

4. Other items

 * Accessories reforged to any Reforge which gives  Strength and/or Crit Damage (e.g Forceful, Strong, ect.).

②Advanced Strategy
Players seeking to deal as much damage as possible should use the following items and strategies to maximize damage:

1.Armors, Weapons, Tools and support items
Damage Boosting Armor, such as:


 * Strong Dragon Armor
 * Optionally with Tarantula Helmet and/or Tarantula Boots
 * The passive ability of Tarantula Helmet named "Radioactive", which bonus its wearer 1% crit dmg per 10 strength, is good for increase stats.
 * Using Tarantula Boots makes the wearer able to stay in range, which allows the wearer do melee dmg with a strong sword to the dragon.
 * Tarantula Armor
 * Tarantula Armor

More powerful than tarantula-strong armor sets, because its full set bonus will provide more damage during the fight.


 * Tuxedos

Are even more powerful than Tarantula or Strong Dragon Armor sets, because of the Dashing ability which increases total damage output and it's incredibly high critical damage stat


 * Werewolf Armor

As of the Skyblock Patch 0.11.3, any damage above 1% of the Dragon's health will not count, so many people use this set because of its high ferocity stat, allowing the player ot hit the boss more times.

Aspect of the Dragons or Livid Dagger

Aspect of the Dragons has decent basic stats and it is cheap recently. But Livid Dagger has 100% critical chance and its backstab ability is easy to activate when dragon stops.

Runaans' Bow with full enchantments, even including dragon hunter.

Mana Flux Power Orb, Overflux Power Orb or Plasmaflux Power Orb

For stronger buff.

2.Pets
Higher rarity tiger and Legendary Wither Skeleton are recommended.

3.Other items

 * Weird Tuba
 * For its strength boost when using it.
 * When the dragon is shooting fireballs, utilize a Grappling Hook and/or Aspect of the End to quickly close the distance and use Tarantula Boots to stay in range to use a strong melee weapon such as Livid Dagger
 * When the dragon is shooting fireballs, utilize a Grappling Hook and/or Aspect of the End to quickly close the distance and use Tarantula Boots to stay in range to use a strong melee weapon such as Livid Dagger
 * When the dragon is shooting fireballs, utilize a Grappling Hook and/or Aspect of the End to quickly close the distance and use Tarantula Boots to stay in range to use a strong melee weapon such as Livid Dagger

③Sweat Strategy
This strategy requires the player to have a large quantity of Remnants of the Eye in their inventory as any kind of attack from the dragon will kill them in a single hit. And also, many items here cost many coins to obtain, so prepare tons of coins if you want to be a sweat.

Armors, Weapons, Tools and support items
Elegant Tuxedo with Warden Helmet or (on budget) Crown of Greed

This set of armor can provide very high damage boosts during dragon fights, but these pieces are expensive.

Maxed Gilded Midas' Sword or maxed Shadow Fury

Both of these two weapons have high basic stats.

Maxed Livid Dagger might be able to deal more damage than Midas' Sword and Shadow Fury when its passive ability is active.

Maxed Runaans' Bow or maxed Magma Bow

Runaans' Bow is always good in dragon fights, but recently Magma Bow can do more damage.

2.Pets
Epic / Legendary Tiger, Legendary Wither Skeleton, Legendary Golem, or Epic / Legendary Ender Dragon

3.Other items

Large amount of accessories

Overflux Power Orb

④Mage Strategy
If one is trying to beat the Ender Dragon as a mage, it's necessary to have some of these items:
 * Frozen Scythe or Bonzo's Staff
 * Voodoo Doll
 * Ink Wand
 * Elegant Tuxedo with Shadow Goggles
 * Guardian or Sheep Pet
 * Aspect of the End and Grappling Hook to approach dragon quickly

When the Dragon stops to perform a Fireball or Lightning attack, use a Grappling Hook and/or Aspect of the End to get in close range to a dragon, then use Ink Wand and the Voodoo Doll to apply the damage over time debuff. The Guardian Pet can be utilized when you are close to the dragon to trigger its Lazerbeam ability for massive damage.

⑤ Endgame Strategies
This strategy require some of the best gear in the game and a level of mechanical skill. This section is split into two parts: Prefire Strategy and Sword Swap Strategy:

Prefire- This strategy involves dealing as much damage to the dragon as it hatches out of the egg. To do this strategy, it's recommended to use:


 * Elegant Tuxedo with Warden Helmet or Crown of Greed(Or Tarantula Helmet if one's is higher than their )
 * A good bow, preferably a Mosquito Bow or Magma Bow
 * Edible Mace
 * a Golem Pet

Before the dragon spawns, prepare your golem's Toss ability by killing 4 mobs. Then, as the dragon is about to spawn, shoot arrows on the egg. Then, right as the dragon egg shatters, trigger the Edible Mace's ability to double the damage of your arrows, Once the dragon actually spawns, your Edible Mace's prop stacks with the Golem's ability, dealing massive damage.

Ferocity- this strategy relies on ferocity procs rather than pure damage. this strategy is used to bypass the newly added damage cap to bosses as it can effectively double or triple your damage.

Recommended equipment are the following:


 * Werewolf Armor
 * Valkyrie or Shredder
 * Bonemerangs

Although sword swapping has been fixed, ferocity swapping isn't. meaning you can switch to a high ferocity weapon while the bones are flying and they will proc Ferocity.
