Phase 1: Shadow Stalking & Lunge Tests

100% – 50% HP×1.0 Speed

⚔️ Creepy Walk⚔️ Lunge⚔️ Ground Swipe⚔️ Hiding Bomb

Maintain constant damage output so the stagger gauge does not decay at 0.25/s. When she enters Hiding Bomb (15-18s), locate 2 bombs immediately and strike them into her mist.

Phase 2: Enraged Spectral Flurry

50% – 0% HP×1.1 Speed

⚔️ Jump Dive (30 Dmg)⚔️ Drop Back (x1000)⚔️ Slam (x1000)⚔️ Lunge (25 Dmg)

Phase 2 increases animation speed by 10%. DropBack and Slam now break held block. Stop holding block entirely — switch to fluid dodge-rolling and punish her huge 5-second stagger downtime.

Core Dragon Tear Emblems:

💎 Prismatic Thrust💎 Chain Shards II💎 Lightweaver Solstice💎 Relentless Flow

Build Strategy: Rapid high-frequency rapier thrusts keep the stagger bar from decaying while chaining 50% splash damage to surrounding 35 add troops. When Iseult lunges, Brienne's swift parry window easily deflects.

Highland Army Squad Tactics

Command Sword & Shield troops to form a protective ring against the 35 adds while you focus solely on keeping constant melee pressure on Iseult.

4-Player Co-op Coordination

Assign 2 players with rapid-fire ranged weapons to track Iseult and maintain 1 damage tick every 4 seconds to freeze the stagger decay, while 2 melee DPS blast the bombs during hiding.
