The fight

Mechanics

They use dragonfire and all three combat styles.

An anti-dragon shield cuts dragonfire to 5, an antifire potion with it takes it to 0, and a super antifire on its own blocks it. Their poison attack hits 14-25 in a 3x3, or 4-8 with prayer. Blood Forfeit goes through Protect from Missiles. It costs the dragon 10% of its health and deals 20% of your current health.

Which style: Melee is reliable. Ranged and magic are close.
