If fought, Viconia is one of the more difficult opponents in the game. She is continuously affected by the conditions Nightbringer's Beloved and Radiant Retort and begins the battle under the effect of Sanctuary. She has a high initiative bonus and will begin her first turn using Castigate Heartform on the character who underwent the [[Mapping of the Heart]], followed by [[Mapped Terror]] on the same target, crippling one character with a series of debuffs. Of the several variations of Mapped Terror, [[Mapped Terror: Ceremorphosis]] is potentially the worst, fully locking down one character for at least two turns with a [[Stunned (Condition)|stun]]-like effect. | If fought, Viconia is one of the more difficult opponents in the game.

The easiest way around the Mapping abilities is also the most obvious: don't do the Mapping of the Heart, or don't take the mapped character into battle. Avoiding the Mapping can be done by leaving [[Shadowheart]] at camp and passing a {{Ability check|Investigation|20}} to reveal a button that unlocks the entrance to the Cloister.

Viconia herself is a capable striker thanks to the strength bonus from her [[Handmaiden's Mace]], application of [[Divine Strike: Poison]], and potential guaranteed [[Critical hit|critical hits]] from Castigate Heartform. Disarming her can be useful for reducing her damage output, but she will still have many powerful spells to fall back on. | Viconia herself is a capable striker thanks to the strength bonus from her [[Handmaiden's Mace]], application of [[Divine Strike: Poison]], and potential guaranteed [[Critical hit|critical hits]] from Castigate Heartform.
