The dragon's arsenal includes Dragon Breath, fireballs, and a devastating Charge Attack. Prioritize destroying the Ender Crystals before engaging in direct combat.

The Wither's attacks inflict the Wither effect, steadily draining health. Below 50% health, it enters Berserk Mode, regenerating health while charging. Utilize a Netherite sword (Smite V), a Power V bow, and Netherite armor (Protection IV or Blast Protection IV). Potions (Strength II, Regeneration, Healing), Milk buckets, Golden Apples, and Totems of Undying are crucial for survival. Summoning it underground in a confined space restricts its movement.
