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 have a chance to swing his sword twice in succession 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>
=Mechanics & Notes=
* [[Stats|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.
* 100% Tenacity will bypass the slow, freeze, and damage effects of his shield.

<div class="thumb tright"><div class="thumbinner" style="width:300px;">[[File:DrakenlordSounds.Waves.Drakenlord Announce.ogg]]Drakenlord spawn announcement sound effect</div></div> The Drakenlord can appear at as a scary boss at first as he takes next to no damage from anything while his shield is active but can be coutered countered by disabling his shield and removing all his damage resistance from the following:
* [[Elements|Standard Ignite]] (Applying oil to him and apply fire afterwards).
* 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]].
* [[Rings|Ring of Fire(Mod)]] from [[Embermount Volcano]].
* [[Shards|Bloody Strikes]] Shard from [[Chaos|Chaos 1]], exclusive to the [[Hunter]]. <!---This may not be intended/is a bug-->
* [[Pet Abilities|Ring of Fire (Pet Ability)]] from the Friendly Ghost pet.
<br>
Early game it is highly recommended to keep the [[Huntress]] in the [[Hero Deck|hero deck]] as she can [[Elements|ignite]] the Drakenlord by applying oil with her [[Oil Flask]] ability and being able to hit him right afterwards with fire damage using [[Piercing Shot]] ability. <br>
Using [[Oil Flask]] with a [[Flame Aura]] or [[Mods|Fire Chip]] is also a viable strategy starting out.
