-In addition to ascension-level gear, the Ice Queen has the full range of monster spells to cast at her disposal, with her spellcasting geared towards a cold-based offense; this includes using the vulnerability spell to weaken resistance to cold in particular. In short, cold resistance is especially important here (as well as for the branch overall), along with [[acid resistance]] to blunt the worst damage from her acid blast spells; weakened cold resistance will cause the characters HP to slowly deplete, so unless they are capable of passively out-healing the frost damage, it is best to defeat her quickly. Defeating Kathryn will transform her into her Enchantress form, also pacifying Bourbon and Ozzy if they are still hostile.
