Carmilla strategy

Go to Library and challenge Carmilla. Dodge during the attack sequence; counterattack only after the full sequence ends and invulnerability wears off.

Watch the wind-up first, then choose your response; the steps below are not a fixed attack sequence.

Detailed steps

Go to the actual battle room in Library. The first encounter in Main Hall cannot replace this battle.

Blood attack cycle
Attacks: Blood spikes, blood pillars, and submerging and emerging change where it is safe to stand as moves are used.
How to dodge: First watch for attacks about to rise from the ground, then move to a clear spot; after it submerges, locate the main body again; do not keep attacking its old position.
When to counter: Attack briefly when the blood spikes or blood pillars have ended, the main body is visible, and the route is safe.

Carmilla
Skeleton summoning cycle
Attacks: Summons skeletons and moves them; blood attacks may still block routes.
How to dodge: Watch both the skeletons and the main body; prioritize keeping a retreat route open to avoid being trapped between blood pillars and skeletons.
When to counter: After the main body finishes summoning or moving skeletons, approach only after checking that no skeleton attacks are nearby.

Carmilla
Carmilla at about 22% health or below: watch for her ultimate attack
Attacks: Carmilla’s ultimate attack can strike from the left, right and center in sequence. She is invulnerable throughout the attack; only after the entire sequence ends does she pause and become vulnerable again.
How to dodge: During consecutive attacks, prioritize leaving the currently covered area and find new gaps as fresh attacks appear on the left, right, and center; do not drain your MP chasing the invincible main body, or mistake the end of one attack wave for the end of the whole cycle.
When to counter: Counterattack only after seeing the entire sequence end and the main body enter a pause; its invincibility ends at this point. First confirm that lingering attacks are not blocking the route, then attack briefly or replenish supplies; stop attacking immediately when it starts another move.

Carmilla
Defeat Carmilla, then absorb the post-battle reward orb to obtain Blood Spikes.
