Upgrade paths for this fight
Strategy
- 1
Antifire first
Drink an antifire (or use an antifire shield + potion) before engaging — KBD's dragonfire can hit 65 unprotected.
- 2
Ignore the heads
KBD attacks with all three styles plus dragonfire, but hits low once antifire is active; just out-DPS it.
- 3
Wilderness care
The lair sits in low-level Wilderness — bring only what you'll risk and keep a teleport ready for PKers.
