Fighting Strategy: Phase 1 (Green Form): - Use Protect from Melee and Piety (if meleeing). - Attack with stab weapons or ranged. - Watch for her ranged spikes (can hit hard). Phase 2 (Blue Form): - Switch to Protect from Magic. - Use crush weapons (e.g., bludgeon) or magic (Fire Wave/Trident). - Stay mobile to avoid her magic attacks.
