Avoid Essence Bomb, then pressure Lady Geist while she has spent health to cast it. If Life Drain connects, break the tether by moving out of range or behind cover. Apply Serrated Knives from beside cover, and keep Slice and Dice for a route that lets you return to your partner. Reach cover before Bloodletting’s delayed damage leaves you low.
Keep your distance when Lady Geist is low and Soul Exchange is ready; she can swap her health with yours. Break Life Drain’s tether by getting out of range or behind cover.
Finish Lady Geist from range when Soul Exchange is ready. If she uses Soul Exchange on your teammate, protect them while they are low on health. If Soul Exchange has been spent, throw Serrated Knives from range. Use Killing Blow on Lady Geist when they are below its execution threshold and your team can support you.
