Magic

10-20 at speed 2 (1.2 s). If ranging, Protect from Magic. Only used in melee range of you.

→🚫

Melee

Up to 27 every 1.2 s: if she reaches you, you die fast. Never stand still in her range: hit and run.

→🚫

Bree

Ranged (16): the damage you accept while praying Magic. Starlight (melee 15) can't reach you if you keep moving; Growler (mage 16) barely hits.

⚠→🚫

No-stamina (Bowfa)

Wiki tile pattern: shoot on the red tiles and walk the yellow ones. Up to 12 attacks without being attacked using ~10-12 energy per lap.

1. Trollheim, rope into GWD; 2 more ropes the first time in the encampment (70 Agility). 40 KC (spiritual mages/warriors are aggressive with 83 Slayer) or an Ecumenical key.
2. Enter with Protect from Magic and ranged. Optional: Serpentine helm at the start to envenom the minions.
3. Kite: shoot, run, shoot. Never let her reach melee. With Bowfa follow the no-stamina pattern.
4. Zilyana down, turn run off. Minions with the blowpipe, praying against whichever hits you.
5. Bones to peaches (32 HP); the minions drop Summer pies (run energy). Repeat.

• 💡 Magic is only worth it with a Tumeken's shadow and near-max gear. For ironmen: ranged (Bowfa, or Rune/Dragon crossbow with Diamond bolts (e)).
• 💡 In teams she retargets if she can't reach her target; the minions only attack those who hit her. Bring 1 Saradomin and 1 Zamorak item.
• 💡 Explorer's ring 4 to alch and restore energy. Brews and restores at 3:1.
