The Dragon's Breath is a post-Moon Lord flamethrower that is dropped by Yharon, Dragon of Rebirth. It uses Gel for ammunition, with an 80% chance to not consume ammo. When used, it fires a stream of fireballs that pierce infinitely but lose 20% damage per hit. The weapon's fire rate increases as it is being used. After firing for long enough, a cartridge is used, causing the weapon to instead release a solid beam of fire that does not consume ammo. The firing speed resets after the cartridge is ejected.

Its best modifier is Unreal.

Trivia

• This weapon's name is a reference to real-life dragon's breath, a type of incendiary ammunition that shoots out flames across a large distance when fired, visually resembling a flamethrower.
