Betsy drop and wall-penetrating draconic waves
The Flying Dragon is awarded by defeating Betsy during the final wave of the Tier 3 Old One's Army event with a 25% drop rate. Each sword swing fires a large crescent-shaped sonic wave projectile. This draconic slash travels through solid terrain and tiles without dissipating, piercing up to 4 enemy targets before expiring. It delivers 180 base melee damage at Very fast speed.
Invasion wave clearance and melee armor pairing
The weapon outclasses swords like the Influx Waver in crowded events because its broad wave cuts through solid structures to strike enemies hiding behind barriers. Combining the sword with Beetle Scale Mail accelerates damage output during the Solar Eclipse and Frost Moon invasions. Pairing it with accessories such as the Fire Gauntlet and Mechanical Glove increases melee knockback and adds burning fire damage. The best modifier is Legendary.
Trivia
- The crescent projectile penetrates solid blocks, hitting targets concealed behind terrain.
- Each projectile wave pierces up to 4 enemy targets along its trajectory.
