Step-by-Step Strategy
Step 1
Stay mounted on Torrent to keep pace with her horse charges and reposition quickly.
Step 2
Dodge the lance charge by rolling to the side just before impact — her hitbox is narrow.
Step 3
The arrow storm tracks you; sprint away and wait for the volley to end.
Step 4
Bleed (e.g. Rivers of Blood) is highly effective — a few procs end the fight quickly.
Step 5
Her Moon projectile is slow — sprint diagonally to outrun it.
