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

[Rytek]

Mind hunt it to death.

Wish it to a province with some nature mages and take it for yourself with charm spam.

Make a few thugs and give one of them that blood axe that causes a chest wound. Once it has been afflicted with a chest wound its just a matter of time until the fatigue piles up and it starts taking big hits.

Teleport a few mages on top of it and cast Paralyze/soul slay with some penetration items.

Not sure if death grip works underwater. But that is a great spell to take out lone SC's.

And that is how you kill a unsuspecting water queen with a medusa shield without fire resistance.

Ritual: Teleport
Battle Script: (Phoenix Power)(Living Flames)(Living Flames)(Earth Power)(Living Flames)Cast Spells.

There are many ways to kill that water queen... she should not have been traveling solo.

[Argitoth]

You can continue to talk about all sorts of situations, all sorts of strategy, endlessly. But my strategy was the only way to gaurantee killing the water queen in my current situation.

For example, if the queen wasn't travelling solo, there would be complications for the enemy as well as for myself. It would be a totally different situation and require different strategies.

Then you probably shouldn't waste everyone's time by asking for suggestions.

Yes, maybe I shouldn't waste time sharing a brilliant way to take down solo supercombatants. Anyway, it was only after the first page of comments that I realized I would have to answer the question myself.

Jazzepi, this really isn't the place to be rude. I provided screenshots and explanations. That's not something people do everyday.

You should have teleported second mage there with empty slots to grab some stuff she was carrying. Then resummon her, equip that and send her against previous owner.

Only way?? I don't know your entire list of mages, summons, items, and research levels... but your situation definitely has more than the one way which worked.

Most of the ideas that were posted had to do with luck, such as getting past a high magic resistance and being able to hit the queen multiple times during battle with a low-precision spell like pillar of fire and gift of the heavens. Of course, gift of the heavens would only require one hit, but I couldn't catch her with a "gift of the heavens" caster. Not to say these aren't good ideas. I think in most situations, people could gather an army. I guess I should have mentioned that the queen would only go in my allie's territories. My allie had very little access to magic other than nature and earth. In my opinion though, you didn't need to know that information. All you needed to know was that I had access to any spell and any item. (except wish!)

Now, don't take this in the wrong way, I'm just discussing this stuff for fun. I don't expect to have everyone agree with everything I say.

At first it only had 20 MG resistance... not very difficult with the rune sceptre, eye void and/or spell focus items. The eye void and spell focus can be cheaply passed around to multiple mages for either soul slay, enslave mind, charm, etc., . If I see resistance of only 20 on a SC... I'm thinking Capture and Control it's mine... usually via charm.
.
Later its MG resistance was increased with the suit of armor yet this made it really slow. This armor is more ideal for mounted commanders. If I owned the Queen I would not have her traveling solo, she would be with a team of mage supporters and scout decoys.

With her being so slow on the battlefield the idea of stealing control would still be viable in my book. The fire elementals was a good way to take her out. I hope you brought some low level air mages to pickup some of those items.
