Rust Dragon
How to use this creature in practice
Mobile attacks and screening across obstacles
Align breath through useful targets and exploit reduced Defense with follow-up physical attacks.
Watch for: Extra acid effects and ordinary attacks have different conditions. A friendly creature behind the victim remains endangered by breath.
Timing, specific abilities and the follow-up plan
Speed 17 affects reach and order. Before Wait compare who still acts this round and who opens the next; delaying does not create a free extra attack.
- Two hex attack breath: Breath strikes the main victim and the creature directly behind it. Check that second hex for an allied stack before attacking.
- Acid damage: An eligible hit has a 20% chance to apply an effect that adds a separate acid-damage effect. Matching immunities and effect conditions apply.
Example for 10 creatures: 500–500 base damage for one ordinary hit before hero, defense, spell and ability modifiers. Recalculate surviving creatures before a subsequent hit.

Abilities and limitations
Dragon nature
Counts as a Dragon for matching specialties, equipment and targeted effects. The classification alone does not supply every dragon immunity.
Skeleton transformer target
Has a special Skeleton Transformer conversion into Bone Dragons, distinct from the ordinary Skeleton conversion of other creatures.
Flying
Movement can cross obstacles. Devils and Arch Devils express this trait through teleportation; speed still determines reach.
Two hex attack breath
Breath strikes the main victim and the creature directly behind it. Check that second hex for an allied stack before attacking.
Acid damage
An eligible hit has a 20% chance to apply an effect that adds a separate acid-damage effect. Matching immunities and effect conditions apply.
Effect scaling: Acid damage
Reference Acid damage strength is 25 per casting creature. Summon Demons is also limited by the available corpse and its health.
Acid Breath
An eligible hit has a 100% chance to apply an effect that reduces target defense by 3 for the battle, with repeated applications accumulating. Matching immunities and effect conditions apply.
Slayer target
An enemy attacker buffed with Slayer gains +8 Attack against this creature from Untrained / Basic mastery. The bonus belongs to the attacker; the target’s spell immunity does not itself cancel it.
