The fight
Preparation
Electricity resistance equipment
Sources with spirit damage: runes, bonus stats from weapons, abilities like Fade Cloak + Decloaking Blast
Respec for any lightning abilities as they are not useful in this fight
Mighty Offensive tonics for dealing more damage
Increased Guard damage from abilities like Guard-Smasher
It comes with no surprise that you should try to have the best equipment as possible and be similar level as the dragon in this case at least level 19
Moves
As with most dragons, the core attacks are the same:
Tail swipe - AOE attack that hits in melee range
Leg swipe - AOE attack that hits enemies in front of the dragon
Wind Vortex - the dragon will stand on his legs in place and start flapping his wings. A wind circle will appear below him. If you are not in this circle your companions will sustain damage and get pulled to the dragon. You can also hide behind rocks, but this area does not provide them
Dragon specific moves:
Electric shot - dragon will cast similar attack to fireball, but dealing electro damage, as long as you are moving this should not cause any problems. Be careful with your companions. If they do not move from the place that the electro ball hits, they can easily die.
Vortex attack - will create circles below the characters. The dragon will start roaring and stand on two legs. If the circles overlap both companions will sustain damage. To avoid damage keep your party members separated by substantial distance:
Lightning breath - fairly easy attack to avoid as long as you are moving. However, if you stand still the attack can easily kill you or your companions. So keep an eye on them
Guard - the dragon will set up his front legs, glow yellow and have its guard bar filled. This will prolong the fight drastically. Due to this, I recommend having Guard damage bonus abilities ready for this fight
Tactics
Keep mid-distance, so that you can get close to the dragon in case of Wind attack.
Use your tonics throughout the fight.
Attack his legs, once the leg starts bleeding attack another leg:
