If I drink a strength potion does it deal more damage against the ender dragon?

I'm wondering if I drink a strength potion, will it be easier to kill the ender dragon?


Solution 1:

Yes, strength potions increase the damage you inflict to the dragon, but only for your sword attacks, not with the bow.

There is a tutorial on the Minecraft wiki on how to defeat the dragon, and it includes a section about useful potions.

I defeated the dragon recently, and the only potions I took were strength II, and a couple of instant healths. But I already had an elytra and a lot of rockets, otherwise it would have been much harder.

Good luck!
