-*The furthest she can attack is range 4. As long as you're at least 5 spaces away, you're safe until Blink Close pulls you in. Therefore, you can wear her down with irresistible long range attacks, like [[Ranged Weapons]], [[Lee's Rapid Deconstruction]], or [[Orb of Destruction]].

-**A [[potion of lignification]] makes you immune to blink. So you can stay at edge of [[LOS]], enter Tree Form, then wear her down with ranged attacks. Note that it might take multiple potions to beat her. [[Formicid]]s are naturally immune to blink, due to their [[stasis]], so don't need Tree Form. -Tele [[artefact]]s are another way to prevent Blink Close.

-*If you do get affected by her Blink Other spell, '''''don't panic'''''. Attempting to flee on foot is very likely to fail. To retreat safely, read a [[scroll of fog]] to block her [[line of sight]] long enough for you to escape, or simply [[blink]] or [[teleport]] away if that's not an option.

 *[[Silence]] will completely disable her spellcasting, making her harmless so long as the silence lasts. If you're a melee fighter, you can use a scroll of silence, then use [[might]] and/or [[haste]] to make sure she dies before it runs out.
 *Other things that are good against Roxanne include:
-**Swarming her with [[summon]]s or other [[allies]]. Blink Close only affects one target, so having summons makes it much less likely for you to get pulled in. [[Mana viper]]s are especially effective.

 **She can't see [[invisible]], so that's a good way to reduce damage. [[Repulsion]] works against all of her attack spells. [[Reflection]] is by no means reliable, but it can make killing her faster.
 **One of the few elements she is not resistant to is [[acid]]. A [[wand of acid]] can seriously lower AC while dealing good damage.

 **Roxanne's longest-range attack spells have a range of 4. As long as you're at least five spaces away, you're safe until she pulls you closer.
 **[[Formicid]]s' natural [[stasis]] makes it impossible for Roxanne to blink them closer. If there are no other enemies around, formicids can take their time and destroy her without risk. Other species can temporarily root themselves in place by drinking a [[potion of lignification]], but Roxanne is durable enough that you might need more than one if you're going to be grinding her down over an extended period.

 *Melee fighters should try to get into melee range as quickly as possible and are at extreme risk of taking a brutal amount of damage at any moment. Quaffing a [[potion of invisibility]] will seriously hamper her ability to blast you, while a [[scroll of silence]] will completely negate her ability to attack you.
 *One of the few things Roxanne doesn't resist is [[acid]]. If your attacks are having a hard time dealing damage, a [[wand of acid]] can reduce her AC enough for other methods to start working.
