Version 0.12: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.
The dragon slaying brand causes a weapon to deal +75% bonus damage on attacks against any kind of dragon, draconian, or player in Dragon Form. On top of that, it gives you an additional 25% chance to dodge any dragon's breath attack. Wielding a dragon slaying weapon will give your character the desire to slay dragons, or, if you are a draconian, make your character feel suicidal; either way, this identifies it.
Note that some dragon-like monsters are not vulnerable to dragon slaying.
This brand can only be found on polearms.
Tips & Tricks
- This brand works best on a high-damage weapon, since the damage is multiplicative.
- It can be useful in Zot to take down packs of draconians, although a weapon of freezing is preferable. Freezing will do less damage, but will slow all draconians other than white ones, an effect which is generally more useful.
