Tips & Tricks

• Poison resistance, Repel Missiles/Deflect Missiles, see invisible, and high MR will counter most of her spells, but that's a lot to ask for. She's flimsy, so a strong offense that takes her out quickly may be the best defense.
• Her mediocre HD make her susceptible to Mephitic Cloud.
• She is commonly encountered in the Lair. Her flaming scimitar is a decent weapon for killing the hydras one finds there, assuming you already have some decent Long Blades skill.

History

Prior to 0.17, she could Teleport Self.
