I've never actually done the most recent version of Tactics chapter 6 Bodhi, but here are some suggestions:

1] Take out those Mages early on with an Insect Plague to a hasted friendly character. Run to the back, let it hit your guy, and it'll spread to cover the group.

2] Improved Haste every single bloody one of your guys. It seriously is very necessary, even before the 2 mages were added in.

3] Time Stop can be casted from a scroll. Use it if you have to.

4] Try to get a summons to take on the Cloud of Bats. I used a Planetar because I was a high enough level. Use Mislead or Project Image or something to absorb it.

5] Protection from Magical Energy, Protection from Cold, you know the drill...

6] People with Stoneskin/Ironskin and Negative Plane Protection out in front. Don't depend on Minsc taking her out one-on-one. #1 objective for the guy out in front with Stoneskin; keep it up.

7] Don't expect to damage her with hordes of Chain Lightning or Cone of Colds; she's immune to them. Pour on the acid and fire, however. With 75% magic resistance, also expect to have to fire a good few Lower Resistances to get those Flame Arrows (Spell Sequencer + level 15 Flame Arrows are deadly).

8] Don't expect to hold her or anything similar. Her ring makes her invulnerable to poison as well.

9] She's immune to Slow because of the !@$^%@^'ing Free Action Ring she has. Don't expect that to slow her down any.

10] Smack her upside the head with everything. MMM with the Mages. Clerics go with their mega-strength-buffs and Slings. Archers fire Tansheron's Bow. Don't expect to have 3 Mages standing around picking their noses and have the fighters do all of the work.

11] She's immune to casting failure. Protection from Magic scrolls will do more harm than good.

Well, I probably forgot a lot of things, but those are the basic tenets I held to when I battled her before. Good luck!

ADD] BTW, what spells does she use? I'm looking inf explorer, and I don't know which ones are the ones taht she uses...
