Well, yours isn't the only AQ I'm having trouble with in an MP game.

But it still makes a good example, y'know like in a strictly academical, not that I would ever want to use it or consider breaking our NAP but let's just ask anyway just in case way...

I'm playing AE Ermor in that game with Reverend Zombie. The scenario I want to ask about a counter for involves an AQ (the one with glamor) equipped with a flambeau casting Wrathful Skies before attacking. In Reverend Zombie's case, the AQ did not have CR or FR at that time, but it wouldn't be wise to rely on it.

After thinking about it for a while, the best thing I could come up with was a swarm of mechanical men led by a few SR firbolgs armed with Standards of the Damned. This should work but the setup has low mobility and it would be hard to catch the AQ specifically.

Moonblades (Huz's suggestion) probably won't work too well IMHO, because you need to count on the AQ's mirror image protecting her from a few hits (in which time she will most certainly hit you). But IIRC, wraith swords do fatigue damage even if it hits a mirror image, so that would be my choice, but using what anti-SC chassis?

Any sort of undead / demonic chassis would die quickly to the flambeau, so what else? Firbolgs are too fragile, which is why I'm thinking of another AQ...
