Notes
Ancient Dragon type. Deals Fire, Lightning and Standard Damage. Strong against Elemental-type damage (most noticeably Lightning) Weaker against Pierce Damage. Weak spot: Head Can be poise-broken for a riposte, but it is very difficult due to poise-damage reduction. Even with hits to the head, the player will earlier eliminate the dragon and not break his poise. Poise: 120, but there is poise-damage reduction 0.2, and thus making their actual poise rise to 600, which makes them the most difficult enemy to perform a critical attack on. Hits to head deals double poise damage, so its actual poise is 300 with only this type of hits. Parryable: No The Farum Azula Dragons use different movesets The first Greater Farum Azula Dragon encountered at the beginning of the area uses a modified version of Ancient Dragon Lansseax's moveset, adding Lichdragon Fortissax's divebomb attack, a unique aerial glaive attack, and using Lansseax's Ancient Dragon Lightning Strike attack throughout the battle instead of just as an opener. It shares Lansseax's phase transition at 50 HP and the resulting alterations to the moveset. The second Greater Farum Azula Dragon uses a modified version of Lichdragon Fortissax's second phase moveset, with the only difference being the omission of Fortissax's Lightning Glaive attack. The lesser Farum Azula Dragons share the same moveset: a truncated version of the basic moveset shared between Lansseax and Fortissax. They lack the divebomb, all lightning summoning attacks, and do not generate lightning aftershocks with their claw attacks and double-handed slam. Despite this, they still undergo the same phase transition at close to 50 HP, altering the way they perform their combos. It is worth noting that the first Lesser Farum Azula Dragon may also be either guaranteed (or at least more heavily weighted) to perform the standing firebreath attack following a repositioning hop compared to the others, but further testing is needed to confirm this. The Greater Dragons, despite cladding themselves in lightning, share the same lightning flat defense and absorption (as well as all other flat defense and absorption values) with the Lesser Azula Dragons. Farum Azula Dragons, like Lansseax and Fortissax, take double damage from attacks to the head. This vulnerability can be triggered even by some AoE spells such as Greyoll's Roar. Additionally, attacks on sleeping or otherwise unaware dragons deal 1.5 times the standard damage, which stacks multiplicatively with their head weakspot. The teleportation animation typically played by the dragons when they vanish in response to the player moving to an inaccessible area can be overridden if another animation, such as landing from an aerial attack, is playing instead. If this occurs, the dragon may simply vanish without any noticeable animation; this has no practical effect and the dragon can be encountered again by resting at a site of grace or fast traveling.
