Considering their immunity to fire and ability to fly, they can use the environment to their advantage. Their fire breath attack can also created more hazardous terrain with [[Fire Surface|Fire Surfaces]], likely setting anyone stuck aflame as well.

[[Arrow of Ice|Arrows of Ice]] are a more physical method to dealing said damage. Relying ranged attacks and spells overall is the best way to avoid damage from their short ranged Death Burst as well.
