If timed correctly, a player can land 4 strikes and only be hit by the swipe attack, with minimal damage from burning. She will be enraged and switch her first attack to the swipe, approach to strike twice (and block her strike), then move away slightly to reset the fire damage and strike twice more before retreating again to avoid her AoE. The player should begin the fight by attacking her once then retreating to avoid the ring of fire attack. A very cold Thermal Stone will likely be needed to avoid Overheating, and an Endothermic Fire / Fire Pit or an Ice Box nearby is recommended. The AoE ground slam can deal enough damage to instantly kill some characters without armor. Unlike other seasonal Giants, the Dragonfly doesn't pause when using her swipe attack, making kiting more difficult.įor fighting the Dragonfly using melee weapons, a Tentacle Spike or better is recommended as well as two Football Helmets and two Log Suits. When enraged, she engulfs herself in flames and deals constant fire damage to anything nearby, while also setting flammable objects on fire. When hit, the Dragonfly will enrage and perform a large 'ring of fire' AOE attack after squeaking any Campfires or Endothermic Fires caught in the attack will be fueled up and Mobs will be set on fire. This attack will set objects on fire, causing massive AoE damage. When contact has been made, she will slam the ground three times, creating a ring of fire with each impact. When she gets in range of her target, she uses a swipe attack while moving forward. During rain, this mode doesn't last as long, and if frozen, Dragonfly will immediately return to her calm state when she thaws (barring player proximity).

This mode lasts a while until the Dragonfly loses interest or her attacker is dead. The Dragonfly will follow the player through wormholes. When attacked or when the player gets too close, she enters her 'enraged mode', following the player while lighting everything in her path on fire.

It is important to note how the Dragonfly is faster than players without movement accessories or buffs when walking on normal ground. When the Dragonfly has consumed 20 or more Ashes, she will fall asleep, unless the player is nearby. She will spit lava on various objects turning them to Ashes, which she then eats. The Dragonfly will stay neutral for as long as she is not attacked or approached.
