Version 0.30: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

The dragon slaying brand causes a weapon to deal +75% bonus damage on attacks against any kind of dragon, drake, or draconian. It includes player draconians and those in Dragon Form.

Note that some dragon-like monsters are not vulnerable to dragon slaying, namely wyverns and hydras. Neither are komodo dragons, as those are a type of real-world reptile.

This brand can only be found on the artefact lance Wyrmbane.

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.
