Other options by slot
The best ranged pick for each slot and the next best options. Each percentage is the DPS you lose by swapping in just that item against Artio.
Mechanics
Her swipe hits an area, reaches diagonally and deals 15 to 35.
Protect from Melee halves it. Her ranged attack hits everyone in the den for up to 17. The white orb knocks you back for 5 to 50 depending on how close you are to an obstacle, and Protect from Magic stops it. At 66% health she lays bear traps around the arena.
Which style: Magic or ranged. Ice spells freeze her for a while.
