Bellerian is well-balanced without that shield bs

[Modular]

She can:
>Summon (and still will with 1 or 2 more skulls moments later if you knock her out of it)
>Evade (hop) all over the place (and will often go the opposite side of the map to put up her shield)
>You as a player are heavily-stamina limited due to the bar's quick depletion in boss fights and can't keep constant, up-close pressure to prevent her doing previously outlined bs

I found all the bosses before her tolerable enough and I could beat them all in an average of ~30 mins upon first encounter, but this is just a whole new bar of frustration and she feels like a brick wall I don't think I'll ever get over. Honestly, it's been nearly 2 hours now. What's the strict meta to beat her?

Ok, that was a post made out of pure seethe. Beat her ^_^

I suck at this game and I beat her second try without summons. I must've lucked out.

I don't think the shield changes much. You still want to stay in her ass. I think I used more heavy attacks on the shield, though.
