Combat notes
The Dragon is highly resistant to Mining Drill Harvest, taking -100% damage, making it immune to that damage type. It is weak to Spike Wall attacks, which deal +400% damage, and to Melee DmgMetal RaidDino, which hits for +55%. Explosions and Instant HurtDinos also exploit its vulnerabilities. Focus on Health and Melee Damage for optimal performance.
Can break Thatch, Wood, and Stone. Build at least in Metal.
