Useful Info

Wind drakes are one of the least deadly lesser dragons, but they are still capable of irritating and injuring adventurers. Their Air Magic can pummel you with smite-targeted wind damage or push you around the battlefield, and they have a naturally-occurring Deflect Missiles effect at all times. They can be encountered in the Shoals, and can be summoned by enemies with the Summon Drakes spell.

Abilities: Wind blast (pushes you away)

Spells

Spell set
Slot1 Airstrike (0-26)

Tips & Tricks

  • Airstrike deals significantly more damage to flying targets, so consider getting earthbound fast when they show up (assuming you aren't flying over deep water at the time).
