I'll be brutally honest I highly highly dislike the Ur-dragon design as a boss and as an online gimick.
First of all as a boss he penalises melee characetrs severely, not only do a lot of his weakpoints take a while to reach but when he frenzies trying to reach certain far away hearts is just stupid with the dragon throwing you off constantly. Secondly he will periodically fly to his perch where you cant do shit to him period as melee. Thirdly his hearts on the wing claws can't be reached as melee either, because you can't climb the wings they are clipthrough and you have to resort to something like the grand cannon or sitting on the wing joint trying to hit thr heart from time to time when the wing is close. The melee feels so ridiculous against him, at one time i took away half his total health in one go, another not a single pip, because he was either perched, flying or shaking me off all the time at distant hearts.
Likewise his flying away mechanic is duuuumb, let me just wail away at the dude, instead you have to go out, fly through and reload again, sigh. If i'm lacking supplies i can jsut run out to the entrance.
And pawns the mainstay of the game throughought suddenly become complete deadweight. So much so that most people (at least for online version) are just switchign to assassin builds in order to ge 140% power boost for free, gee fuck being funneled into that.
At least offline he feels like a boss, you kill him - done.
Online it feels pointless because you are barely doing any damage at all yourself and brely moving the health bars. I feel like my MK does decent damage I can kill a drake in about 30 seconds without it even taking off and do no problem agaisnt offline Ur, but online I can barely move his health bar down past one pip (mind you I am not even talking get an entire health bar down jsut moving it a centimetre). It jsut super fucking boring, pawns are useless, I'm doing barely ane damage, will drink a pot once or twice and just grab onto a heart for 10 mins wailing away monotonously untill he decided it's time for a break. I've been at it for about 2 hours now and his health decreased probably 2 pips, and not much of it was me. At this point killing Ur online for me is either a grind, or trying to luck out on when I think he will be already at low health.
So in conclusion, fuck that. I already killed him offline, and if i dont see him go down online today i'm finishing the game and putting it on a shelf. Not worth the time.
Edit: yep just came back and his health went up for the second time, it's been 4 hours wailign away at the online version and in total it started at 4 pips and is now back at 4 pips, awesome...
