However, in practice Melee is the most dangerous way to do the fight as souls may spawn erratically and there is less time to react to fire walls. Theoretically Melee is the safest way to fight QBD as the Ranged attacks can be well-blocked while the subsequent Melee attacks can be moderately tanked. Tectonic mask (Mighty slayer helmet if on task)Ĭape of accomplishment (Defence cape is recommended for the perk) The QBD has no weakness, so use the highest level spell you have available regardless of its element. While Magic armour is weak to the ranged attacks of the Queen Black Dragon, standing in melee distance allows for good tanking of incoming melee attacks – while running south from fire walls is always an option. Nightmare gauntlets ( Dragon slayer gloves if on task) Off-hand blisterwood stake / Off-hand crystal chakram Off-hand chaotic crossbow / Off-hand attuned crystal chakram Off-hand Ascension crossbow / Off-hand shadow glaive Sirenic mask (Mighty slayer helmet if on Task)Ĭape of Accomplishment (Ranged or Defence capes are recommended for their perks)Ĭhaotic crossbow / Attuned crystal chakram Off-hand Death Lotus darts and a chaotic or ascension crossbow loaded with dragonbane bolts will give the best damage output, as the darts are calculated with the passive damage boost of Bane ammo additively and not separately. They should be used if the player lacks accuracy. Ascension crossbows perform even better and are comparable to meleeing with drygores, and are somewhat equal to the seismic wand and singularity.ĭragonbane arrows and bolts give a significant boost to accuracy, enough to provide near 100% hit chance with a royal crossbow. The royal crossbow performs well against her and should be used if the player has no stronger weapon – although of course, to obtain the crossbow you must have already reached the last stage of the fight. Even so, by staying at a distance the player can completely avoid her melee, and, as with mages, rangers are not limited to close distance, which means easier dodging of fire walls and souls. This lasts for 150 successful hits, after which the enhancer will disappear.ĭefence-wise, Ranged is lacking against the QBD: rangers are weak to her melee attacks and are not strong against her ranged attacks. If you have a Qbd damage enhancer in your inventory, you will do 10% more damage against the Queen Black Dragon. "All class" or hybrid armour such as Dragon Rider and Warpriest are also viable choices especially when ranging or maging to avoid being weak to either the QBD's ranged or melee attack depending on the style of combat you choose to fight against her. Offensive armour is a good choice because the QBD's damage is tolerable even with lowered defensive and life bonuses.

However she may acquire weaknesses and resistances to certain styles randomly throughout phases 3 and 4. The choice of which class to use is up to the player. As the Queen Black Dragon has no actual weakness, all combat styles can be well-utilised during the fight.
