How do I cipher

[Raven Darkholme]

So I just tried to kill the sky dragon with my solo cipher level. 12, but it doesn't seem possible.

My spells don't hit her because her fort and will def is over 110. Best bet atm seems to do borrowed instinct on the wurm and melee the mother, but with only 110 def and 111 attack I don't see how I kill her before she kills me.

By level 12 you can easily get above 110 spell accuracy. 63 (base) + 12 (level) + 10 (modifier on most spells) + 20 (tactical meld on figurine summon) + 20 (borrowed instinct) + 15 (potion of eldrich aim) = 140 accuracy. All your spells will be either hits or crits on her. You can also debuff all saves by 20 with rotfinger gloves. That's 160 accuracy. And I haven't even listed all the possible bonuses.

 

Tbh sky dragon is an easy fight, the only difficult ones for me solo were undead Raedric, Vamp lord in Od Nua and Adra dragon.

Hm, I preferred undead Raedric. ;p

But I will try your suggestions, thx.

Melee is a bad idea anyway, deflection is its highest save. Fort/Ref/Will spells are much better. Will is the lowest at 102, so landing mental bindings is not a problem at all.

Once you get your accuracy buffed up just throw a disintegration on her, that spell is so powerful...

Yep that was my plan, too. :d

Will try it tomorrow.

Ectopsychic echo on summon works well too, esp once reflex is neutered by mental binding. Key though is rotating borrowed instinct with mental binding for perma lockdown. But disintegrate + kiting can work too.

Wow those rotfinger gloves are insane. War paint plus gloves was enough to disintegrate twice ftw, didn't even need borrowed instinct or tactical meld.
