Dragon defender



The dragon defender is the strongest defender in the game. It can be obtained as a drop from the Cyclopes and Cyclossus in the Warrior's Guild. The Cyclossus can only be fought while wielding a rune or dragon defender, but has a higher chance of dropping the dragon defender than regular cyclopes. In addition, using the multi-token mode in the cyclopes room increases the chance of receiving a dragon defender.

The dragon defender, when used with Korasi's sword, gives the same stab bonus as the Zamorakian spear with 1 higher strength bonus. This may be used for a cheaper and slightly better alternative to the spear.

As with all defenders, the dragon defender is valued for only one coin in the Items Kept on Death screen.

Trivia

 * On release, the Game Guide stated that 50 Attack and Defence were needed to wield the defender.This was a mistake and has yet to be fixed. You actually need 60 in both Attack and Defence as stated by the in-game skill guides.
 * Even though dragon equipment usually gain a large jump in stats compared to rune (as is expected with the stat jump from 40 to 60), the stat bonus difference between rune and dragon defenders (40-60) is only roughly half the difference between adamant and rune (30-40).
 * The dragon defender has an appearance comparable to the dragon scimitar before it's graphical update.
 * The dragon defender drop rate is extremely high in comparison to other defenders, this was made due to the popularity of the dragon defender.
