Special Mechanic: "Protect me, my child!"
When the Skyburner Dragon Lord's HP drops to 1, it does not die immediately. Instead it ascends to 5m and calls out: "Protect me, my child!"
- Summons a half-stat Dragon Descendant (which responds: "Father!")
- While the Dragon Descendant is alive, the Skyburner Dragon Lord fires Prismatic Bolts every 3 seconds
- The Skyburner Dragon Lord only truly dies after the Dragon Descendant is killed
WARNING
Do not ignore the "Protect me, my child!" phase. Prioritize killing the Dragon Descendant while dodging the Dragon Lord's Prismatic Bolts.

Combat Strategy
- The Skyburner Dragon Lord hovers in the air — melee weapons can barely reach it, prioritize firearms
- Charge has a clear windup animation and warning ring; move laterally immediately on seeing the warning
- Solar Dance beams rotate in fixed directions; find the gaps between beams
- Rainbow Ring expands then contracts — run outward during expansion, move inward during contraction
- Phase 2 doubles the attack frequency; constant movement is essential
- "Protect me, my child!" phase: prioritize killing the Dragon Descendant while dodging the Dragon Lord's Prismatic Bolts
- Wearing Dragon Set or Dragon King Set makes you immune to fire damage and heals you, significantly reducing difficulty
- For no-damage kills, use the Boss Filter to clear other bosses and face the Dragon Lord alone
