Useful info
Quicksilver dragons are rare and dangerous dragons that move 50% faster than average and breathe irresistible status-dispelling energy bolts. Fortunately, they're extremely rare, appearing almost exclusively in Vaults:5, Dis:7, and certain Dungeon vaults. If you see one elsewhere, it's likely a shapeshifter. Butchering them can produce a quicksilver dragon hide, which can be enchanted into a dragon armor with inherent magic resistance.
Spells

Tips & Tricks
- As their damage output is irresistible and considerable, the best defense is a good offense. Take them out quickly, using Haste or berserk if those options are available.
- While the bolts can't be absorbed, they can be avoided or blocked; a shield or Repel/Deflect Missiles can help keep you safe.
- Be mindful if you have any active enchantments that you're relying on: unexpectedly losing Haste, or worse, Flight in the middle of a battle can be devastating, even fatal.
