At 1.1 seconds a swing for 170, sustained contact costs roughly 155 health per second. The charge multiplier takes it from 13 to 28.6 while closing.
Behaviour
- Charges
- Multiplies its movement speed while closing mid-range distance, then drops back to base speed on contact. Freezing effects are the only reliable brake.
- Ranged
- Attacks from distance rather than closing. Breaking line of sight or forcing it into melee removes most of its threat.
- Infernal
- Burns on contact and takes a red eye tint. Fire resistance meaningfully reduces incoming damage.

Location
Pyro Drake is not bound to a named region and appears on the general wilderness table, weighted by the biome you are standing in.
Strategy
- Fight in contact or from well outside its approach band; the middle distance is where it doubles speed.
- Close the gap. It loses most of its output once you are inside its minimum range.
- At 170 a hit, two connected swings will end most unarmoured players. Armour matters more than damage here.
