Githyanki battle (final in Act 2) any tips

[GmanUK1965]

So there is a battle with Githyanki just before leaving Act 2. Two of them have the skill parried which only takes 1 damage no matter what melee attack you use. How do I defeat these. They also have 3 attacks per round. The other githyanki are hard as nails too

Not knowing your party composition, can't give any direct advice - but a few tips:

* Parried is a reaction, so anything you can do to prevent them from having a reaction: Dazed, prone (monk, ice arrows cause them to fall), hold person, things like that.
* Brute-force your way through it - use your melee attacks with multiples to bust them down (parry, as a reaction, they only get once per turn, you should have multiple attacks per round as a melee).
* Focus ranged or spells on them, save your melee attacks for those without parry. Or use one physical attack on a cheap character to 'trigger' the parry, then beat the hell out of them with your main melee blows.

Just some ideas. The big point is obviating their reaction, or damaging enough it is irrelevant. Again, not knowing your party comp can't give specifics, but by that point in the game you have plenty of abilities, scrolls, etc., to negate the parry or brute through it.

Hope this helps.

Sneak before the bridge so the githyanki only spawn once you're above the bridge, that way the melee fighter have to run for you and your ranged fighter have advantage over them. Meanwhile before they arrive you can probably one turn kill the commander

I'm trying this on tactician. I usually sneak from the high-side of the bridge near the stash site area... I can sneak up on the commander and throw her far down hill/street (towards the Act 3 gate) for about 60% of her hp in damage. I just think this is funny to do. Then she is prone for a round, then has to spend a couple more rounds running back up under the bridge. But the sword guys come fast, and the crossbow guy is nuts with his crits.

Spell Hold Person worked wonders for me.

I have a ranged build with Warlocks. I think I could do that scenario with baiting enemies
with Minor Illusion, then follow up with Hunger of Hadar and Druid's Plant Growth. Push enemies back toward the center with Eldritch Blast, and the rest of the party engage with ranged attacks.
