Abilities

Star Power
Expose

Every few seconds his next stab marks the enemy it hits, making them take extra damage for several seconds.

Star Power
Shredding

Completing his dragon transformation restores a quarter of his maximum health, so the switch is also a heal.

Gadget
Upper Cut
11s cooldown

His next stab launches the enemies it hits into the air for a second, taking them out of the fight while they fall.

Gadget
Last Stand
22s cooldown

For two seconds he cannot be reduced below one health, so a burst that would defeat him leaves him standing.

Hypercharge
Fire and Flames
+25% stats while active

The dragon form's breath reaches further and covers a wider area for the length of the transformation.

How to counter Draco

Playing Draco

reviewed 19 Jul 2026

A 5,600-health tank with a fast four-tile lance who transforms into a dragon for a limited window once his Super fills.

Early game

Trade with the lance at the choke to build charge; the base form is unremarkable and everything he does is in service of transforming.

Positioning

At the front but with an exit, because the four-tile lance means he is always in range of whatever he is fighting and the dragon is not always available.

Using your Super

Transform before the fight rather than in response to losing one, since the window is fixed and starting it while retreating wastes most of it.

Common mistakes

  • Transforming as a panic button when the window is already half spent by running
  • Chasing a fleeing brawler in dragon form while the objective goes uncontested
  • Fighting at four tiles against brawlers who out-range him and can simply walk backwards
  • Extended team fights where the transformation window has time to matter
  • Cluttered maps where he can reach the fight in base form without being kited
  • Against grouped teams, since the dragon form covers an area rather than a target

By mode

Brawl Ball

The dragon form clears a goal mouth faster than the defence can reset it.

Knockout

A transformed Draco entering a round opener usually forces the whole enemy team back.
