The fight

Mechanics

Zilyana attacks every 1.2 seconds, melee up to 27 and magic 10 to 20, but only when you're in melee distance.

So you kite her around the room to avoid her and Starlight. Pray magic if you're ranging, missiles if you're maging. Her bodyguards hit 16 (Bree, ranged), 16 (Growler, magic) and 15 (Starlight, melee).

Which style: Ranged. Magic only makes sense with Tumeken's shadow, since mage armour has so little defence.
