Blue dragons are the third strongest of the chromatic dragons, behind
red dragons and
black dragons. Like all dragons, they can breathe
dragonfire, which can inflict over 50 damage if proper protections aren't used. Dragonfire can be mitigated by equipping an
anti-dragon shield or a
dragonfire shield – alongside the usage of an
antifire potion, which will completely negate dragonfire damage. On top of the strong dragonfire breath, they also attack with an accurate slash attack.
Protections from dragonfire
The following methods will provide partial protection:
- An anti-dragon shield or a dragonfire shield (permanent): offers high protection, reducing dragonfire damage significantly.
- An antifire potion (temporary): offers partial 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 moderate damage.
The following methods will provide 100% protection, but each has its own pros and cons:
- An antifire potion + an anti-dragon or a dragonfire shield: temporary but saves a large amount of
food considering how long each potion lasts. This method is strongly recommended as you can use prayer flicking to
Protect from Melee, ultimately negating 100% of damage.
- An antifire potion + Protect from Magic: not advised due to the high cost of
prayer potions, this is only recommended for players with a high level
Prayer. Alternatively, prayer flicking is an option.
Safespotting
Alternate methods to avoid usage of potions includes the Heroes' Guild, which has a blue dragon in a fenced off area that can be safe spotted. If one has partially completed
Watchtower, there are
safespots in the
Ogre Enclave with six dragons that spawn.
Taverley Dungeon also has some safespots with the use of the columns and big eggs.
