Strategy

The Blue Dragon is a pure physical threat. With 200 Magic Defense, offensive spells are ineffective. Its high Evasion (96) means many physical attacks will miss without accuracy boosts. Victory depends on buffing your fighters and mitigating its immense damage.

Battle Plan

  • Black Mage - Cast Haste on your strongest physical attackers
  • White Mage - Cast Protera and Invisira to survive the dragon's attacks
  • Physical attackers - Use Giant's Gloves (Saber) for a crucial damage boost
The Warriors of Light buff themselves to overcome the Blue Dragon

Quick Tips

  • Defense is mandatory - Without Protera and Invisira, the Blue Dragon can eliminate party members in one or two hits.
  • Buff your fighters - Haste and Saber are essential to overcome its high evasion.
  • Magic is useless - With 200 Magic Defense, don't waste turns on offensive spells.

After the Battle

Defeating the Blue Dragon grants access to the teleporter it was guarding. Use the Warp Cube (obtained from the Robot in the Waterfall Cavern) to activate the device, which will transport the Warriors of Light directly to the Flying Fortress, home of the Wind Fiend, Tiamat.
