The fight

Mechanics

Yama has three phases of melee, magic and ranged attacks plus specials.

Protect from Magic and Missiles block those attacks, and Protect from Melee drops his melee to 6. The floor glyphs give 10 ticks of immunity to the matching attack while you stand on one. The meteor kills you instantly unless you move two tiles from its centre. Void flares have to be destroyed before they explode for 42-44, which is what the purging staff is for. Phase three adds three fireballs in a line for up to 20 each.

Which style: Melee with Arclight or Emberlight is the most damage, though phase three is awkward. Magic gives more room for less damage.
