Blue dragon

Blue dragons are the third strongest of the chromatic dragons, behind red dragons and black dragons. All dragons are quite powerful due to their dragonfire attack, which can hit 50. This can be mitigated by wearing an anti-dragon or dragonfire shield – alongside an antifire potion. On top of the strong dragon-fire breath, they also attack with a surprisingly accurate slash attack.

Killing a Blue dragon grants 420 experience in the attack style that the player is training, as well as 139.7 Hitpoints experience.

Technique(s)
The following methods will provide partial protection (numbers may not be accurate):


 * Anti-dragon shield or Dragonfire shield (permanent): offers very high protection, reducing the damage down to a mere 2-5


 * Protect from Magic (temporary): offers fairly decent protection, reducing the damage down to a mere 2-7

The following methods will provide 100% protection, but each has its own pros and cons:
 * Antifire potion (temporary): offers very high protection, resulting in damage reduction generally with resistance similar to the shield mentioned above. Occasionally, you may be 'horribly burnt by the dragon fire', receiving around 15 damage, and on rare circumstances, around 27.


 * Antifire potion + Anti-dragon or dragonfire shield: temporary but saves a large amount of food considering how long each potion lasts


 * Antifire potion + Protect from Magic: not advised due to the highly costly downside of having to keep using prayer potions and antifire potions, but assuming you still have prayer points can be used for a long period of time.

If a player wishes not to spend money on prayer potions or antifire potions, a safespot can be used within the Heroes' Guild. Climb down the ladder in the guild, follow the tunnel until you find a blue dragon inside a cage, walk to the east between the skeletons and you should be safe. Players using range or magic can safespot the dragon and avoid dragonfire damage as well as melee damage. Players are still strongly encouraged to wield an anti-dragon shield, in case the dragon respawns while they are picking up the loot. Alternatively, upon partial completion of Watchtower, there are safespots in the Ogre Enclave with 6 dragons that spawn.
