Strategy
- Her spinning spear combo is her most dangerous move — dodge through it (not away) to get inside the follow-up radius
- Use Shield Bash immediately after dodging her combo chain to create a free attack window
- After her HP drops below 50%, she gains a lunge attack from maximum range — stay alert for the wind-up
- She closes distance rapidly; maintain a medium range and react to her approach rather than staying too far back
