How do I kill a water queen with a medusa shield?

Endo, the problem is that the queen is running around where there are no lightning or fire mages! Plus, she has luck. It seems that luck makes anything only work half the time. So you really need a small army of fire or lightning mages to kill it. Plus, she regenerates 36 hp per turn... very hard to kill.

If you regenerate 36 hp per turn and have 64hp, i'm pretty sure you need to do 64 damage PLUS 36 to kill the queen at full HP. That's 100 damage needed to kill her at full HP.

Edit: How do you know S3 is +4 penetration?

Is two rune smashers more effective than one? Or does penetration not stack?

Penetration stacks, but two items of the same kind don't, so two rune smashers doesn't help you out. +5 penetration is quite easy to reach though, with rune smasher, eye of the void & spell focus. That would give you 14% chance of a clean kill.

In general I would be very afraid to send out the gem investment such a queen represents with only 20MR. Very afraid.

The one I'm up against actually has 23 MR

At the top of my head to boost magic resistance:

Rainbow Armor
Amulate of Magic Resistance
Lead Shield
Starshine Skullcap
Amulate of Luck (doesn't raise MR obviously, but helps)

That's at least +17 magic resistance with all those items after you cast resist magic on the battle field. +13 if you don't cast it.

Edit: Also Astral Bless Effect helps (+1 to +4 MR)

Don't forget that the astral bless won't raise MR above 18 (I think 18).

Try Petrification

There's no way any of your suggestions would work for the situation I'm in.

I said at the beginning of the thread that I have access to any item and any spell. YES! I DO! However, I never said I had access to any army, any mage setup, etc. There's VERY little chance to setup the perfect army and move on the right province that the queen moves to.

That is why I have my plan and I don't want to reveal it. Don't post any more suggestions, I'll let you know if my plan works in a day or two. I can't reveal it on the forum because I don't want Wazooking to find out.
