The Drapelord fight is simple, but since the boss is always flying, you'll have a slightly hard time hitting it.
Attacking coupled with Cogfly is enough to defeat the Drapelord. Cogfly will do most of the work for you, and all you have to do is to keep attacking and dodging. However, you can also use Voltvessels to deal more damage.
Fractured Mask or Warding Bell should be enough to survive the fight since the Drapelord doesn't have any unique gimmicks or mechanics that will limit your choices for defensive tools.
Although any crest will work for the boss fight, Witch Crest's Silk Bind, works particularly well against the boss since you can also hit the boss's minions with it and heal.

Anonymous 2 monthsIsn't this just a normal enemy. Also as the other guy said, this can be fought in act 2. Same with Second Sentinel, with both requiring Faydown Cloak.
