Defeating Viconia
Сrеdit gоеs to Mander!
Crowd control, pets and prioritizing targets.
Viconia turns into a wolf immediately and strangely enough, is the least dangerous enemy you’ll face until she stays in wolf form (the opposite is true when she reverts).
Pets offer more targets and should be used as a meat wall until you’ve reduced the number of enemies. Prioritize targets that cast darkness (they are not really a hassle, but they can force you to lose a turn navigating the terrain, which is a problem)
But the most important thing to bring to that fight imo, is crowd control: hypnotize and confusion spells, anything that turn a terrain in a hazard (wall of fire, insect plague). Create chokepoints or retreat leaving behind a horrible mess of terrain to navigate and pull them through.
Also, do NOT use radiant damage: they have radiant retort. Other than that, potion of speed to allow 2 attacks per turn from your team is another “nice to have”.
Viconia’s fight remains one of the most challenging fights in BG3, but it’s not hard per se: it’s the sheer number of enemies you face the problem. Therefore, turn the table on them as much as possible. Do as the Spartans did.
Let them discover that they may have you surrounded, the poor bastards, but the only thing you’re surrounded by, is fear and corpses.
