Tuesday UTC · Detach strongly recommended

Flame Dragon field plan

Frontal fire and charges punish standing in front; summoned pressure can make the arena progressively harder.

Starting position

Stay behind or on the Dragon's side—treat the movement like following it on a short leash.

Movement rule

Follow the rear quarter as the boss turns.

Attack tells and response

Charge

Tell: The Dragon lines up and faces a lane.

Response: Step perpendicular, then return to its side/rear.

Frontal fire

Tell: The head and body face you before the fire burst.

Response: Never remain directly in front; rotate behind the shoulder.

Summons

Tell: Smaller flame dragons enter and add overlapping fire.

Response: Remove them before the arena becomes unmanageable.

Movement route

  1. 1

    Follow the rear quarter as the boss turns.

  2. 2

    Sidestep the charge and center fireball rather than backing down the full arena.

  3. 3

    Clear summoned flame dragons when they begin removing safe space.

Damage windows

  • The side/rear follow creates long short-range uptime.
  • Resume pressure immediately after a charge finishes and the boss turns.

How to score higher

With detach
  • Maintain attacks while rotating around the rear quarter; detach is valuable because the safe lane moves with the boss.
  • Let continued attacks clear summons, but deliberately target adds when they begin removing safe space.
Manual attacks
  • Spend the rear and side-facing windows attacking, then release before the Dragon finishes lining up a charge.
  • Return to range immediately after the charge ends instead of retreating across the arena.
Skill priorities
  1. Short Range when rear-quarter uptime is repeatable
  2. Tracking when turns repeatedly break aim
  3. Ring or aura damage that stays active while circling
  4. Add clear only when summons are ending otherwise strong attempts
Build separately

Choose gear and runes after learning the fight

This field plan applies to every gear set. Use a dedicated build guide for the equipment, hero, and rune page you actually play.

Common deaths

  • Standing in front
  • Chasing damage through a charge tell
  • Ignoring summons until there is no clean lane

30-second checklist

  1. Start at the side
  2. Follow the rear quarter
  3. Sidestep charges
  4. Kill adds if space collapses
  5. Re-enter short range after every turn
← Back to the verified rotation

Why this plan works

Frontal fire and charges punish standing in front; summoned pressure can make the arena progressively harder.

  • The side/rear follow creates long short-range uptime.
  • Resume pressure immediately after a charge finishes and the boss turns.

Record the result correctly

  • Save the target as Flame Dragon.
  • Attach the hero, skin, all six gear slots, rune grades, Rune Enchantments, selected skills, and whether detach was active.
  • Compare this boss only with earlier attempts against the same boss; unlike weekdays are not a valid damage baseline.
