I need some advice how to kill Ziva

[EXONIX]

Sadge moment, but the melee build is no longer working in gloomrot, because everything just straight up punishes you if you go in close combat.
What is the strat to kill Ziva?

[Professor_Morde]

i use Aftershock which is a Chaos spell. and Death Knight and Volatile Arachnid which are Unholy. Those 3 are super effective even when 8 levels under.

I'll definately try greatsword next time

If you want what I used exactly: Pistols (non shattered, didnt have em at the time), Cursed Skulls, blood rage (or spirit wolf, if that's more your thing). Veil of Chaos, you need this imo for the dual dash. Focus on evasion, you can compliment pistols with slashers for their E, but try to use mainly the pistol E for their damage. Slasher E whenever you need to gtfo of Ziva's eyesight for a breather. Focus on summoning skeletons as much as possible with Cursed Skull, using blood rage to heal or spirit wolf to damage + mobs. Focus mobs when they spawn unless you're in a good position to ignore them. Go on evasive mode when she starts bombarding or when there's an orb on the field. I used scholar blood, iirc. That, or rogue 100. I can't remember rn. Good luck!

This did the trick for me! I had never tried throwing skeletons at bosses before, it seems like they take 100% of aggro, they make the fight SO much easier!

Indeed. Get the gem that spawns 2 at a time (dual helix, less damage > 2 skeles per shot), it makes it WAY better imo. You do less damage with it, but that's not what it's for. Pair it with a heavy hitter like spec wolf, or if you're going melee.. use Cyclone. Cyclone is based.
