Drakenlord is a scary boss at first, he can raise his sword and plunge it into the ground summoning an ice shield, once his ice shield goes up he has very high resistance to damage (it appears to be 99% resists) and it can slow [[Heroes|heroes]] then freeze then in spot and after call forth a spectral copy of himself to deal a finishing blow that seems to always be a one shot no matter how much health you have.

If he does get his ice shield up before you kill him you can bring it down by setting him on fire. This can be done with the Oil plus Fire damage combo creating an ignite. Alternatively, you can use the Burning Strikes shard to do the same. A word of caution, if he is ignited before his shield goes up then you will have to wait until the ignite wears off before igniting him again to bring down the shield. He is a threat while this happens so stuns can hold him still while you wait.

  • Towers and Blockades within the Drakenlord's shield will freeze and stop attacking after 5 seconds of being in his aura. They will also take 50% of their maximum health after freezing. This damage will only be applied once, afterwards the Drakenlord will have to use his melee slash attacks to finish off Towers or Blockades.
  • Traps, Auras, and Nodes are completely immune to the Drakenlord's freeze and damage effects from the shield.
  • The Drakenlord will use his melee slash attacks while attacking anything other than the player.
  • Damage Reduction bonuses apply to the damage 200% and 50% damage ticks, having over 50% in damage reduction will allow heroes to survive the hit.
