History

  • Prior to 0.15, the brand could generate on any polearm.
  • Prior to 0.13, this brand also reduced a susceptible enemy's chance to hit you with their breath weapons by 25%, flavoured as the dragons being averse to looking at the weapon (and therefore having difficulty lining up a shot).
  • In 0.12 and 0.13, drakes were unaffected by the dragon slaying brand.
