## Description

Draconics are a humanoid, dragon-like race speculated to have descended from the greater dragons (or demons) of times past. Their origins lie in the farthest bounds of the molten lands.

Draconics have a dark skin tone, ash-colored hair, horns, various obsidian fragments protruding from their body, and signature magma slits to vent out heat.

## **Abilities**

### Innate

* **Molten Heart**- The player is completely immune to overheating. Their body will pulse with magma periodically
* **Lava Resistance-** Draconics take 4 damage per second from lava instead of the 12 damage per second.
* **Heart of Fire-** Cannot use the Vampire Heart artifact.

### Leveling

* **Level 5 - Lava Tongue**- Lava Shrooms, Molten Flowers and Bladed Obsidian become edible.
	+ Lava mushrooms will give the regeneration buff for **5 seconds**
	+ Molten flowers will increase defense **+15%** for **15 seconds**
	+ Bladed Obsidian will increase attack speed(?)
* **Level 7 - Improved Lava Tongue**- Duration of buffs from Lava Tongue are increased.
* **Level 8 - Flaming Ring**- An ability that allows the player to breathe out a burning ring that deals **2** damage and procs fire infinitely until extinguished (usable in combos)
* **Level 10 - Smoldering Body**- An ability that activates an orange aura for **10 seconds** gaining a **50%** chance for melee attacks to proc the fire debuff. (**70 sec. cd.**)
	+ The duration will increase **+1 sec.** for each level *over* level 10.

* **Level 15 - Aged Body**- You gain a pair of wings and a tail. (Cosmetic, requires rejoin to apply changes)

## **Pros and Cons**

### Pros

* Decent for prolonged combat due to being able to use Lava Shrooms, Molten Flowers and Bladed Obsidian for buffs.
* Essentially free Small Health Potions with a Lava Shroom, considering they can be found all over Mt. Demise.
* Really good healing in and out of combat.

### Cons

* Consuming either Lava Mushrooms or Molten Flowers slows you down which make them less usable in combat.
* Smoldering Body has a very long cooldown for a short-duration active.
	+ The Molten Flower is harder to get a large amount of for combat, ditto for Bladed Obsidian.
* Your only respawn point is Embers City, meaning you will have to go through Mount Demise every time you die or attempt to reset.

## **Recommended Classes**

* **Terran:** Ring of Fire can be added to your combos for additional damage.
* **Any Mage:** Ring of Fire can add extra offensive and defensive capabilities, especially great for base Mage and Cleric.
* **Assassin:** Ring of Fire paired with Poison Vial can help to deal more DoT (damage over time) while also keeping your enemy at a safe distance. However, it's more effective with Kyin, because bleeding deals more damage and cannot be rolled to completely negate its effects.
* **Martial Artist:** Smoldering Body and Ring of Fire can be paired together with Uppercut and Barrage to create huge attack strings that launch enemies in the air and keep them from rolling and dealing huge DoT within your combo.
* **Any combo based class:** Fire procs over combos with Smoldering Body can add a good 15 extra damage to your combo.

## **Notes**

* Embers City is generally a good place to farm exp and money, with the merchant there buying everything you sell for 1 extra gold.
