The Drakenlord is a unique miniboss with a unique mechanic and is introduced as a boss on the last wave of the [[Drakenfrost Keep]] [[Maps|map]]. He can frequently be found in any gamemode outside of the [[campaign]] aswell.
He moves very slowly but will swing his sword twice every time he attacks and can call forth a large spherical shield of ice to protect him and chill, freeze, and damage anything inside. <br>
==Description=Mechanics & Notes=The Drakenlord is a miniboss with an interesting mechanic. He can frequently be found in the [[ChaosFrost Enemies|Chaos Expeditionsfrost enemy]], meaning he's immune to being [[Onslaught]], [[MasteryElements|frozen]] and takes double damage to [[IncursionsFire|fire]]. He moves very slowly but will swing <br>The Drakenlord takes 0.1% of normal damage while his sword twice every time he attacks shield is active around him. This aura slows players while within it's range aswell as freezing them if within the aura for 5 seconds and can call forth will be damaged for 200% of their maximum health from a shield spectral copy of himself dealing some kind of ice finishing blow to protect him and chill, then freeze, then damage anything insidethe frozen prey.<br>
==Strategy==Drakenlord is a scary boss at first, he can raise his sword * [[Defenses#Towers|Towers]] and plunge it into [[Defenses#Blockades|Blockades]] within the ground summoning an ice Drakenlord's shieldwill 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, once afterwards the Drakenlord will have to use his ice shield goes up he has very high resistance melee slash attacks to damage (it appears to be 99% resists) finish off Towers or Blockades. * [[Defenses#Traps|Traps]], [[Defenses#Auras|Auras]], and it can slow [[HeroesDefenses#Nodes|heroesNodes]] then are completely immune to the Drakenlord's freeze then in spot and, after a short time, call forth a spectral copy of himself to deal a finishing blowdamage effects from the shield. This final attack seems to always be a one shot no matter how much health you have* The Drakenlord will use his melee slash attacks while attacking anything other than the player. On top of that it can do the same to * [[DefenseStats|defensesDamage Reduction]] but also bonuses apply to the damage 200% and 50% damage ticks, having over 50% in damage reduction will allow [[Enemies|enemiesheroes]] which can be helpfulto survive the hit. * 100% Tenacity will bypass the slow, freeze, and damage effects of his shield.
If =Strategy=[[File:Huntress Ignite Combo.gif|250px|left|thumb|Demonstration of the Huntress dropping the Drakenlord's Shield with her abilities.]]The Drakenlord can appear at a scary boss at first as he does get takes next to no damage from anything while his ice shield up before you kill him you is active but can bring it down be coutered by setting disabling his shield and removing all his damage resistance from the following:* [[Elements|Standard Ignite]] (Applying oil to him on and apply fireafterwards).* Special Ignite: [[Elements|Ignite]] from [[shards]] such as [[Shards|Melting Point]], [[Shards|Incendiary Rocket]], [[Shards|Napalm Gargoyles]], etc.* [[Shards|Burning Strikes]] Shard from [[Chaos|Chaos 5]]. This can be done with the Oil plus * [[Rings|Ring of Fire damage combo creating an ignite]] from [[Embermount Volcano]]. Alternatively* [[Shards|Bloody Strikes]] Shard from [[Chaos|Chaos 1]], you can use the Burning Strikes shard exclusive to do the same[[Hunter]]. A word of caution, if he <!---This may not be intended/is a bug--><br>Early game it is ignited before his shield goes up then you will have highly recommended to wait until keep the [[Huntress]] in the [[Hero Deck|hero deck]] as she can [[Elements|ignite wears off before igniting ]] the Drakenlord by applying oil with her [[Oil Flask]] ability and being able to hit him again to bring down the shieldright afterwards with fire damage using [[Piercing Shot]] ability. He <br>Using [[Oil Flask]] with a [[Flame Aura]] or [[Mods|Fire Chip]] is also a threat while this happens, so stuns can hold him still while you waitviable strategy starting out.
