Tips & Tricks

  • Abjuration (or Mass Abjuration) will take care of the summons quickly. An amulet of warding will stop most of the melee attacks, but none of the dangerous breath attacks.
  • Death drakes should always be your biggest concern among the summons. However, you'll probably want to focus most of your attention on the caller, as killing it will stop the influx of reinforcements.
    • Smite-targeted attacks such as Airstrike or Freezing Cloud are ideal for nailing callers that are hanging out in the middle of a pack of other draconians. Bolt spells can also punch through anything standing between you and the caller.
  • Rot resistance makes miasma harmless, though you'll have to be undead or a lucky demonspawn to have it naturally. Zin's Vitalisation can also help protect you.
