KBD Mechanics:
The dragonfire attack comes in four variants. *Note* It is impossible to negate ALL damage from these attacks.
Fiery breath
Toxic breath
The toxic breath can deal up to 50 damage. Upon a successful hit, there is a chance this attack will inflict poison to the player, starting at 8 damage. Antifire shields, and antifire potions or a combination of these, will (partly) negate the damage from this attack.
Shocking breath
The shocking breath can deal up to 50 damage. Upon a successful hit, there is a chance this attack will drain five levels off of the player's stats (Attack, Strength, or Defense). Antifire shields, and antifire potions or a combination of these, will (partly) negate the damage from this attack.
Icy breath
The icy breath can deal up to 50 damage. Upon a successful hit, there is a chance this attack will freeze the player for 10 ticks (6 seconds) You will have to click on the KBD again to resume attacking or wait for auto-retaliate. Antifire shields, and antifire potions or a combination of these, will (partly) negate the damage from this attack.
Strategies:
KBD has interesting mechanics in the form of unique dragonfire. In addition to his regular dragonfire, the King Black Dragon has three unblockable breath attacks: Poison, Shock, and Freeze. Although an antifire potion reduces damage from these attacks by 75%, it will only nullify all damage from the regular dragonfire. With the anti-dragon shield or equivalent equipped, they only deal up to 10 damage.
