What armor is better when facing Miraak?

[Khorps]

Should I wear more magic focused armor like arch-mage's robes or just armor focused armor?

Also does summoning Odaviing work on the summit of apocrypha?

I'd consider using wards like crazy when fighting Miraak if using archmage's robes. If going for armor-based, it'll be to your benefit to have frost/fire protection and also consider some ward spells. He does cast some lightning, too, so that's something that may be covered by magical item protection or wards.

just found out my staff of lightning wall thing works excellent on him.

also I can confirm, summoning a pet dragon does not work in apocrypha, tried it

I find Stallrim Armor Highly Enchanted and Smithed to be best.
