Solar-forged spear shocktroops of the celestial pillar

Marching as the frontline infantry of the celestial Solar Pillar, the Drakanian is an aggressive dragonkin warrior. Boasting 1,000 health and 28 defense, this armored fighter wields an incandescent solar spear, inflicting 80 contact damage in Classic, 160 in Expert, and 240 in Master mode upon stabbing through defenses.

Countering polearm thrusts with high-knockback ballistics

Drakanians can spawn either on foot or riding atop formidable Drakomire beasts as cavalry. Their long spear thrusts give them extended melee reach that can pierce through thin walls and strike players on platforms. Utilizing high-knockback weapons such as the Tactical Shotgun or piercing magic keeps them outside spear range until eliminated.

Trivia

  • Drakanians can spawn mounted atop Drakomires, functioning as high-speed solar cavalry.
  • Their spear thrusts have extended hitbox reach compared to ordinary fighter enemies.
