The fight

Mechanics

Hellhounds stab for up to 11 every 4 ticks, and Protect from Melee blocks it.

Their magic defence is almost nothing, so even with a negative magic bonus you'll rarely miss.

Which style: Water spells, which do 50% extra against almost no magic defence. Demonbane weapons work too.
