Your ultimate guide to defeating the Fire Dragon in Fire Emblem Heroes, including enemy stats, boss weaknesses, and a step-by-step strategy to victory.
Alright, we're at the final stretch! This is the last boss, the Fire Dragon, and it's time to put everything you've learned to the test. Don't worry, I've got your back.
Walkthrough
- 1Objective: Defeat the Fire Dragon.
- 2Enemy Lineup: Be ready for Druids (L19 w/Berserk, Eclipse; L18 w/Eclipse), Sages (L19 w/Bolting, Sleep; L18 w/Bolting, Silence), and Bishops (L18 w/Purge twice).
- 3Boss Data: The Fire Dragon is Level 20 with 120 HP. Its stats are MAG 17 (+10), SKL 25 (+10), SPD 15, DEF 20 (+20), RES 30 (+10), LUC 24, and MOV 8. Its CON is 25 and it wields Flametongue.
- 4Boss Mechanics: The dragon doesn't move, but it has a 3-range attack. Keep your weaker units safe by rescuing them or using Nils to reposition them.
- 5Initial Strategy: Use Nils to bring Canas close to the dragon. Canas's Luna attack should take off a good chunk of HP, leaving it around 70. Then, have Athos attack with Aureola for about 20 damage. Hector or Eliwood can finish it off. If you're feeling cautious, have Athos attack, then heal him, and on the next turn, have everyone gang up on the dragon. It doesn't give EXP, so who lands the final blow doesn't matter.
- 6Cautious Strategy (Athos Focus): If you've neglected Canas or the lords, Athos can solo this.
- 7Turn 1: Move Athos to attack the dragon with Luna/Aureola. He'll take damage. Have a healer positioned right behind Athos to heal him immediately. Use Nils to play to the healer, allowing them to move out of the dragon's attack range.
- 8Turn 2: The dragon will attack Athos again during the enemy phase, further damaging it. Heal your healer and move them out of danger. Crucially, do NOT attack with Athos this turn.
- 9Repeat: Continue this cycle of attacking with Athos, healing, and repositioning your healer. This is a safe and effective way to defeat the boss.
- 10Watch Out: The long-range mages (Sages with Bolting, Bishops with Purge) are dangerous. They'll target your weaker units, especially Nils. Make sure to keep them protected or out of range.
- 11Special Item Note: The Eclipse tome has a small chance to halve the dragon's HP, which can make this fight significantly easier if it procs.
Tips
- Keep a close eye on your weaker units; the snipers are out to get them, and Nils is a prime target.
- If Athos is strong enough, he can essentially solo the dragon with a careful healing and repositioning strategy.
- Don't worry too much about who gets the final hit, as the dragon doesn't award EXP.
