Josephina

Useful Info

Josephina the Ice-Lich is a unique lich, who comes with powerful simulacra that she can then blow up. She always spawns with a randart ring of ice.

Josephina is an alternate version of Josephine. If Josephine has spawned, then Josephina won't, and vice-versa.

Cold resistance is obviously very helpful -- get as much as you can. Simulacra hit hard, and that's before they start violently exploding in your face. Even her melee can deal high amounts of cold damage, especially if she has a staff of cold.
- Negative energy resistance is also helpful against Ghostly Fireball, though that's of a lower priority.
In order to cast her devasting Seracfall spell, Josephina needs line of sight with a simulacrum:
- If you can lure or otherwise separate the simulacra away from her, all the better.
- You can also block her line of sight (e.g. with a scroll of fog) to prevent the spell from being cast.
- She can't use Seracfall with a player-allied simulacra, so don't be afraid to cast the Sculpt Simulacrum spell around her.
- Lee's Rapid Deconstruction can be used to blow up her own simulacra in her face.
Like any other lich, all of Josephina's spells are completely shut down by Silence. Unlike regular liches, however, she can deal significant melee damage (42 physical + 63 cold damage) if you don't have good cold resistance.
