No problemo.

As for your question, remember: 'cure' and 'deflect' are both valid choices for spells, as one should deflect most of her magical spells and the other heals the damage from the spells you can't deflect.

Be absolutely SURE to defeat the monsters in the dungeon before you fight her: the instant you start the fight she's liable to summon all those monsters to her dungeon, and she gains power for each monster that falls right in front of her (since she's related to all of them).

She has relatively low physical defense, but you're not going to hit her very often: her high speed combined with magical shields mean that most of your attacks will be either reflected or evaded.

Her specialty is 'constrict', which, while not doing much damage, traps you and slowly drains your health while you are helpless. Most people counter that with high power, which lets them break out of her grip. But here's a trick not many people remember: she'll release her target if she's attacked by anything at this point. Thus, the best way to fight her is to have a buddy along to force her to let go of you should you become constricted. Be sure to return the favor if she goes after your buddy.

Sorry, it's late at night, I'm hyper, and I got a bit carried away XD
