FAQ/Battling The Red Dragon

First, I recommend putting team members in your party that have Red as a natural attribute. Macha, Miki, Janice, Orcha or Draggy will do nicely. Then, equip those team members with nothing but blue elements. This will cause the Fire Dragon's attacks to do less damage to your team members, since their natural attribute is Red. Then they can hit HIM with blue elements for more damage. Deluge works very well. Also, if you're willing to take a chance to do some major damage to the Fire Dragon, put one blue attribute team member in your party. Irenes, Marcy, Fargo and Nikki work well. Make sure to equip them with blue elements, including summons. Make sure they also have accessories equipped that raise their defense. They will be more vulnerable to the dragon's attacks since they are of the opposite elemental attribute. Serge should have a couple of Revives and RecoverAll spells on hand as well. Hope this helps out. Let me know what happens.

Same thing works on all the other dragon bosses too. You can get several different colored Plates. Either use Kid to Pilfer it or use Fargo to Pillage it. STEAL, STEAL, STEAL!

Also, be careful of the fact that the Red Dragon changes in the middle of battle. As soon as you've inflicted enough damage on him, that teeny little crimson reptile becomes a fire-breathing juggernaut. Not too difficult to defeat though, given the right strategy.

i have found that karsh's attack power ad Fargo's limited magic defense as well as his ability to steal help, also loading them down with nothing but white and blue elements helps too.

or use Mel, with Mel and Kid you can use Double Take.

We're not even sure if he's refering the fire dragon that guards the path to Fort Dragonia, or the fire dragon, when you're on your quest to gain the dragon relics.
first the person asking for help must be clear about WHICH fight he or she is in, then we can help.

If it's the fight with the dragon in his small form, on your way to Fort Dragonia, then the answer is simple, have Kid, and Glenn in your part (if not Glenn, then a red character, perhaps. Use every blue element you can, and if you have a strong blue character, try using him or her (lagdalen or Pierre come to mind) and have them cast Frogprince once the field effect is entirely blue.

If you're on the quest for the Dragon relics, then you should have Fargo, and either Zappa or Orcha in your party.
Wait until the dragon has transformed into his larger self, and then immediatly have Fargo steal the Red plate, use flue elements, and all of Fargo's Tech skills.

good luck.
