Data Summary
Dragon Killer is a 3-star claw built around fire attribute damage, dragon-slayer effects, and a high-multiplier special attack. It is the headline weapon of the Dragon Killer Series Banner and is widely rated as a top-tier SS weapon and a premium dragon-slayer gacha prize.
Its adventure skill grants fire pebbles with dragon-slayer effectiveness, and its special delivers 400% fire physical damage (480% vs dragon-type enemies). The weapon is especially effective in Dragon Ruins, against dragon-type strong enemies, and when you hold 4 or more arrow-type adventure skills, which expand the special’s attack range.

How to Get
Dragon Killer is tied to the Dragon Killer Series Equipment Draw. The published banner window ran from June 23, 2026 through July 21, 2026 at 11:59 JST. If that banner is still visible on your client, confirm the live timer. Otherwise use the current banner page before assuming the draw is back.
Before spending gems, open the live in-game banner screen and confirm the exact name, featured pool, rates, stamp or pity rules, and end time. The weapon is the main decision piece; matching Dragon Killer armor can help, but armor alone should not decide a deep pull.
Dragon Killer is the main featured piece from that Dragon Killer Series banner. Its dragon-slayer special and fire pebble adventure skills make it a strong pick for accounts that want fire coverage, claw typing, or a specialist weapon for Dragon Ruins and dragon-type strong enemy content.
Best Uses
| Use case | Why it fits |
|---|---|
| Dragon Ruins farming | Fire attribute and dragon-slayer effectiveness align with the stage design and enemy weaknesses |
| Dragon-type strong enemies | Dragon-slayer multiplier and fire pebble damage excel against dragon-type targets |
| Martial Artist route | Claw typing and Martial Artist attack bonuses support this vocation path |
| Fire coverage | Fills a fire-attribute gap when your account lacks fire damage |
| Arrow-type synergy | Holding 4 or more arrow-type adventure skills expands the special’s attack range, improving clear speed |
Closest Comparison
Compare Dragon Killer with Crystal Claw before treating every claw the same way. Crystal Claw is a lightning physical claw with a buff special and Crystal Arrow follow-up adventure skill, rated S tier. Dragon Killer is a fire claw with a dragon-slayer special and fire pebble adventure skill, rated top-tier SS. The two serve completely different roles: Crystal Claw is a single-target burst pick for boss pressure, while Dragon Killer is a premium carry weapon for fire damage and dragon-slayer content.
Also compare with Roto Sword if you are choosing between fire weapons. Roto Sword is a fire physical sword with a wide-range sweep special. Dragon Killer is a fire claw with a dragon-slayer special and fire pebbles, better suited for players who want claw-friendly vocations or plan to focus on dragon-type content.
Player Notes
The current rule is: Keep it if pulled early, test before chasing duplicates. Dragon Killer is a high-signal Dragon Killer banner weapon because its dragon-slayer special, fire pebble adventure skills, and fire attribute all make it easy to test right now in Dragon Ruins and dragon-type strong enemy matches. It is less urgent if your account already has Roto Sword, Metal Wing, or another weapon that clears story and event stages comfortably.
Dragon Killer armor can make the same event setup feel smoother, but armor is support value. Do not turn a weapon decision into a deep armor chase unless the live banner route and your gem plan both make sense.
For the full pull-or-save decision, use the current banner guide. For reroll context, compare the whole account against the reroll guide instead of judging this weapon alone.
