Best Dragon Incantations
Rotten Breath
While Rotten Breath might not be the strongest incantations, it certainly has its benefits. Rotten Breath stacks an effect calledscarlet rot. This rotdeals damage over timeonce the enemy has been coated with it. This is perfect for any hit-and-run style players as mostmainline bosses aren’t immuneto scarlet rot.
Greyoll’s Roar
Greyoll’s Roar does deal damage, however, it also has the added effect ofdecreasing enemy attacksby20%andincreasing damage dealtagainst them by10%for60 seconds. This is perfect for buffing yourselfbefore a boss fightor even mid-battle. The only drawbacks to this incantation are the slightlylong cast timeand the use of 2 incantation slots.

Dragon Fire
Dragon fire is simple: you breathe fire, and itdeals massive damage. Dragon fire’s high damage output,cheap magic cost, andmaneuverabilitymake it one of your best options. While some would argue that the named variant Agheel’s Flame is better, it lacks the range that Dragon Fire can offer you.
