Does Smite or Smite Demon, coming from powerful priests, cut through her defenses? Sorry, I have been away and have not followed the entire debate. Similarly, if she is undead, why can’t a swarm of priests take her down? Does her drain life really counter the effects of 20 priests banishing at once? Throw in some eyes of accuracy to lift the effects.

I ran a search on vq smite and vampire queen smite and got nothing, sorry if I am going over already covered ground.

Throw in some flying units to disturb her from the first turn, as well as a second wave of them who were on hold and attack. They may not kill her, but they will keep her busy and unbuffed for perhaps four turns. Having the second wave means even fairly weak units would be helpful. Also, you can buff your flying mage/crusher for two or three turns and then have them arrive to wreak havoc.

Have some crossbows up front, they should get at least two shots this way while the weak flying units annoy her. Flaming arrows could boost this. Similarly, spells like dust to dust may get through the MR if you get enough tries.

If the banishment is hitting her during this period where she is wrestling with annoying flying units, it might be a cheap and low level solution. It also works well with the dominion attacks others have mentioned. If you want to preach her out, you need lots of priests. Concentrate them at the right place and you can get her, as well as leaving a trail of provinces with friendly dominion.

Sure, it may sound like a lot of fairly weak things, but if you can stop the buffing and hit her with a number of things, she is going to have a bad day.

Also, what is the spell that summons a hoard of undead archers that fire flaming arrows? They seem suited to this task.
