Strategies


Dodging and Blocking:
With a high physical resist and stability shield you can stick close to the Dragonslayer and circle him counterclockwise.

You can easily block all of his normal attacks and the only thing you'll need to run away from is his area of effect Dark attack.

Pay close attention to his opening lunge strike with the spear as it does tremendous damage to low level characters.

Melee:
Most of his attacks can be dodged by rolling behind him. Staying as close as you can to him is usually the best course of action due to the fact that he likes to lunge at the player if you're far.

The only attack that you have to watch out for from close is when he begins charging his Dark AoE attack. He will jump into the air and land on the ground releasing an energy wave that can damage you from a good distance. Roll away when you see him doing this.
