Tairx, the Moonlit Stalker, is a dragon of unparalleled stealth and precision. Her shimmering scales melt into the night sky, allowing her to move unseen, like a whisper gliding on a breeze.
One of her most fabled escapades was a game of hide-and-seek with the children of the Vale, orchestrated by her playful rider, Lady Lyra. This dragon hid in impossible places, and when she revealed herself at last, it was with a burst of fire that etched a wondrous sigil into the grass: a gift, not a threat.
Her touch is subtle, her strike swift, a shadow that plays, then pounces. Today, let us dive into one of the newest dragons to be introduced to Game of Thrones: Dragonfire: Tairax.
Gameplay Details
Tairax is a control-focused Epic Fire Hunter who specializes in shutting down enemy attack patterns through repeated Stagger while punishing enemies hindered by Control effects.
She disrupts key threats across any lane, weakens enemy timing through targeted stat reduction, and converts those openings into steady Fire Damage and Burn.
Tairax thrives in longer fights where her disruption can repeatedly interfere with enemy actions, allowing her to create openings for both herself and her allies. While fragile, her early-round Evade and defensive support with Resistance can reliably get her to the later rounds where her offensive output really shines.
When playing with Tairax
- Disrupt key action-dependent enemies early.
- Tairax is strongest when her Stagger shuts down dragons that rely on Attack Modifier Commands or repeated Basic Attacks.
- Pair with control-heavy allies.
- She gains extra value when enemies are already afflicted with Control effects, allowing her to amplify team-wide pressure.
- Play for longer fights.
- Her control becomes more reliable over time, and her late Fire scaling helps her become more threatening into the second half of battle.
