How do I kill a water queen with a medusa shield?

Just stack attacks, 2x sword of swiftness, horned helm, stone bird and quickness will drop his defense by 2 for each attack, so after the first quickened round of swings he'll have -16 defense skill from the incoming attacks. (Luck might mitigate this somewhat, not sure if a luck'd attack counts for defense penalty). Plus quickness gives you +3 attack skill to boot.

Oh shoot... well the problem is that this thing I'm trying to kill has 64 hitpoints and regenerates half of it every battle round, so one or two hits don't do a thing.

Oh oh! How about panic or terror? This water queen has 30 morale. How many panics or terrors will it take to route her?

Then use 2 SCs or hit her with mages....

Or you can forge the Harvest Blade. It is an AOE weapon, so defense is ignored. Don't give it to anything you want to cast spells with, since it auto-berserks you like a lycanthrope amulet.

If the SC is not fire or frost immune and has low HP, you can just whack it with a Fire/Frost brand.

Can you teleport or trapeze a bunch of mages and blast it? Sometimes that's easier.

Edit:

Okay, forget all that stuff. Just give an SC an Eye Shield. When the Queen goes blind, her defense will drop to zero.

Did some tests: Poison Golem with two eye shields will die attacking the water queen with medusa shield.

Just use insti-kill. Soul Slay, Disintegrate, Moon Blade. Stuff like that

How hard is it to get through 23 magic resistance with 3, 2, or 1 penetration and 4 nature casting charm?

[Argitoth]

Another test: Purposely blinded a poison golem with two eyes of aiming. Blindess does not protect you against Medusa shield. Is this a bug? However, naturally blind units are protected.

Are they? We had a thread just the other day where someone said they weren't - only beings with the hidden 'stone' tag were.
