| A weary draconian with foreign and watery scales. She has come to the Dungeon in hopes of resurrecting her mortal husband; a noble cause, for a being once known for quarreling with saints and flooding unfortunate temples. If pressed to her limits, she will reveal her true form, the mere sight of which struck her husband dead. Adventurers may wish they were so lucky! |

Draconian Form
Useful Info
Bai Suzhen, Madame White Snake is a unique mid- to late-game draconian wayfarer. While she's no Tiamat, she does have more HP and AC than most draconians, and can summons hydras to her side. She always spawns with a quarterstaff.
When she reaches 2/3 of her max HP, she transforms into her true form - see below for details.

Tips & Tricks
- While Bai Suzhen is still in her base draconian form, do your best to fight her in a corridor or other chokepoint. You don't need two or three hydras chewing on you while you're trying to fight her.
- Make sure you have a source of electricity resistance handy; a potion of resistance will work if you have no other options. She can't deal any electrical damage as a draconian, but once she gets hurt...

Useful Info
As Bai Suzhen reaches 2/3 of her max HP, she'll transform into a storm dragon, dropping her weapon and replacing her spellset. In this form, she has a permanent ring of storm clouds around adjacent tiles (dealing electric damage each turn), increased AC, trample attacks, and a powerful Primal Wave breath attack. Even after recovering HP, she'll permanently stay in this form.
If you kill Bai Suzhen in dragon form, she may drop a set of enchanted storm dragon scales.

Tips & Tricks
- Once Bai Suzhen transforms, she gains the ability to knock you back, potentially out of your chokepoint. Fortunately, any summoned hydras that are still around are going to be reluctant to enter her ring of storm clouds, but they could cause issues if they can find a way around to you before timing out.
- Kiting Bai Suzhen in her dragon form is made more difficult by her Primal Wave, which not only deals decent damage (especially if you aren't amphibious or unbreathing) but also creates pools of shallow water beneath you. If you can't move easily through water, start flying so you aren't slowed down. Keep in mind that any summoned hydras that are still around move faster in water.
History
- Prior to 0.31, Bai Suzhen had fewer HPs, used Primal Wave a little less often, and transformed into a dragon at half health instead of 2/3.
- In 0.26, her Ring of Thunder spell was replaced with a permanent enchantment.
- Bai Suzhen was introduced in 0.19.
