Stage 11 brings an exciting twist to the Banshee Hunt (albeit in a masochistic way). Here are the important changes to be aware of:

Rather than attacking a single target, the Queen will inflict poison on two heroes each turn. This doubles the number of poison debuffs you must cleanse, making it more challenging to avoid the Banshee’s curse. Additionally, the curse damage grows stronger each time it’s triggered, potentially snowballing into lethal damage.

During the splitting phase, the Queen summons four ice-type Mistychains. The Mistychains inflict poison with each attack, making it easy to stack up a lot of poison debuffs very quickly. Every time one Mistychain is defeated, the others gain stackable attack and defense, becoming more difficult to kill.

The queen recovers health when she splits, extending the period of time that you’ll need to worry about dealing with her poison.

Earth-type heroes deal 30% more damage to the Banshee and her allies, while non-Earth heroes receive 30% more damage. In addition, Fire-type heroes have their combat readiness reduced to zero whenever the Queen splits.

Banshee 11 is a tall hurdle for newer players without heavily-invested heroes and high-tier equipment. Luckily, there are several different ways to combat the Queen’s upgraded mechanics and successfully conquer this level.

Unlike in stages 1-10, defensive strategies that work against the Queen’s curses in stage 11 can't handle snowballing curses. Therefore, the best strategy is to use a team formation focused around dealing with the Queen’s poisons and killing the Mistychain squad as quickly as possible.

You can deal with the Queen’s poisons by cleansing it away, preventing it with Immunity, having high Effect Resistance, or evading it altogether. The most consistent strategy is to have two Soul Weavers with Wondrous Potion Vial, in addition to abilities that cleanse or grant immunity to protect your team against the Mistychains’ poisons during the splitting phase.
