The Necrodrakon is an interesting boss that won't let you get by with your usual tactics. For one, healers are nearly useless in this fight, meaning you'll need to tackle teambuilding in an entirely new way. Below, we'll take a look at how to beat the Necrodrakon, and some of the best Heroes to use for each role.

How To Beat Necrodrakon In Dream Realm

Necrodrakon has two main mechanics that you'll need to watch out for. The first is its Crest ability. This skill places a Crest on all party members, which will explode after 15 seconds, dealing high damage. However, if the Hero moves out of the Crest before it explodes, they will be safe.

Necrodrakon will also consistently deal damage to and stun the two "healthiest" members of your party, that is, the Heroes with the highest HP ratio. Usually, this will be your healers, as they tend to have high health that doesn't go down often, unlike a tank, who is constantly taking damage.

To get around these two mechanics, you'll want to build a party with movement skills that can either heal or shield themselves. Because of this, we recommend composing a party that has at least one of each of the following roles.

  • Tank
  • DPS
  • Buffer
  • Debuffer

You can also use the Awakening Spell Artifact to periodically heal your team. This will greatly cut down on the need for a dedicated healer, especially when paired with Heroes who can heal themselves.

When building your team, be sure to take into consideration Faction Bonuses. When more Heroes of the same Faction are in the party, the entire party will get a boost to attack and health.

Below, we'll take an in-depth look at some good examples of Heroes to use for each of these roles.

Best Tanks For Necrodrakon

Shortly after the fight begins, the Hero closest to Necrodrakon will be designated as the tank, and will take the brunt of the boss's attacks throughout the fight. You'll want this Hero to have high health and defenses so they can survive Necrodrakon's onslaught.

The best choice for this fight is Temesia, due to her high damage and ability to move with every attack. This will ensure she is never hit by Necrodrakon's Crest attack, while also keeping most of the boss's attacks focused on her.

If you don't have Temesia, here are a few other options to try.

  • Thoran
  • Kruger
  • Shakir
  • Seth
  • Korin

Best DPS For Necrodrakon

The DPS role can be filled by any number of Heroes, but there are a few that deal with Necrodrakon better than others. Marilee is the best Hero for this boss, because of her high single-target damage and movement skills.

Marilee is only an A-rank Hero, so she is also one of the most accessible DPS Heroes in the game. While Marilee will be your primary DPS for this boss, you'll probably want to bring one or two more, depending on how many roles other members of your party are playing.

  • Korin - has movement skills
  • Rhys - has movement skills
  • Vala - has movement skills
  • Odie - high damage but no movement skills
  • Cecia - high damage but no movement skills

Best Buffers For Necrodrakon

Buffs are very important for this fight, especially since you won't be able to rely on a dedicated healer/buffer like Smokey & Meerky. Offensive and defensive buffs will keep your party alive while increasing the damage you do to the boss.

Shakir is a very strong buffer for this fight thanks to his ability to move around while buffing allies with his Lupine Aura. Shakir also has decent single-target DPS, so he won't slack when it comes to killing the boss.

These Heroes can also play the role of buffer for your party.

  • Lyca
  • Rowan
  • Damian
  • Koko

Best Debuffers For Necrodrakon

Debuffs are also an important factor in any team composition. Similar to buffs, you'll want to focus your debuffs in the area the rest of your party may be lacking. For example, if your party has low overall damage, then supplying debuffs that boost the damage the enemy takes is a great choice.

Reinier is one of the best debuffers for most fights in the game, not just Necrodrakon. At Mythic+ Ascension Level, Reinier makes the enemy hit by his Ultimate take 25 percent more damage for the remainder of the battle. This debuff applies to all sources of damage, unlike most other buffs, meaning it can be utilized by both physical and magic damage Heroes.

Besides Reinier, there are a few other debuffer Heroes you can bring to this fight.

  • Kruger
  • Thoran
  • Lyca
  • Koko
