Dragon Knight stuns with Dragon Tail, Breathe Fire reduces the damage enemy attacks deal and Fireball leaves burning ground. Elder Dragon Form gives him a ranged attack and growing bonuses, so he scales into a durable attacker. Spell immunity blocks all three spells, while spell block ignores Breathe Fire.
Counter items
Black King BarAvatar blocks Dragon Tail, Breathe Fire and Fireball while it lasts.
Linken's SphereSpellblock stops Dragon Tail, though Breathe Fire does not trigger it.
Heaven's HalberdDisarm shuts off his attacks, including the ranged ones from Elder Dragon Form.
