Just curious how you are supposed to kill this guy with a dual wield melee build. Ive managed to stack 5000 armor 86% pierce resist. 34% physical resist and 38% dodge on my blademaster and he still 2 shots me. Yet i see people claiming to solo him on ultimate with dual wield specs. Any advice?
Callagadra is a fucking lady. Even the name suggests that (I mean, it was the case for me, at least).
But to the topic, you need attack damage converted to health if you want to facetank her. She’s not that strong, Ravager is way stronger, so basically the same concept (for auto attackers) that works on Ravager will work on Callagadra. The only dangerous thing she has is 57% total speed slow.
No evidence here, because I never fought her…but does she only auto-attack in the video?
In general, she jumps on you, wing whirlwind and fires some projectiles that are actually the sands we got in a devotion proc. Additionally spawns dumb Wind Devils that reduce your attack speed by 57%. If this is what you meant.
For some reason I thought it’s total speed, so replace “total” with “attack” every time you see me saying it’s total speed. 
No, I was watching the video on mobile. Seems, she just uses only one attack animation.
Yeah, this guy who recorded it used the dumb bug where you stand near her leg and she only auto attacks you. Zantai said it’s fixed next patch.
First, try to facetank her , dont move an inch ! It’s hard to tell exactly location of “sweet spot”, but often took me 5-6 fights to have a real “sweet spot” then she just use 4 debuffs on you (normally 7-8 at max by her wing)

Remember : ADCTH , High OA , Fumble, Damage Reduction are always best friends against Celestials
Should overcap pierce and bleeding(by 50+), and get good adcth and health regen(also from those many craftable elixers), and some slow resist. Then it’s possible, but still hard.
In my experience ravager is WAY easier. I can do that in my normal SR setup with some energy regen added.
yeah i managed to kill ravager on ultimate on my bladedancer, tbh he seemed alot easier. he just hits you hard with physical attacks there wasnt much else going on.
FG provides some best augments for armor , a lot easier than AoM to kill Ravager
It seems like Calla dam in phase 1 = x2 x3 Ravager dam, Phase 2 x4 x5 Ravager , 95% same mechanics, same tactics , just like a upgraded version of Ravager

If you’re Blademaster, you can do it too…
Callagadra is “she”, btw.
BTW, you dont have to kill Callagadra on Ultimate, if you just want her loot. Killing her on Elite is much faster and easier, while yields same loot.
Try to evade her tornadoes/twisters. They pack a punch.
There are definitely sweet spots where it appears, that she doesn’t cast those tornadoes i believe.
I was able to facetank her with a Cadence S&B Warlord, and thinking I finally got the right setup for it. However when I tried to do her again a couple of times I died.
It’s also anoying that she actually moves a bit around.
Well was able to defeat her again while facetanking.
The key is that there is no big tornado present ehile fighting her and that they don’t appear near you.
I do wonder if that is intended sometimes or a bug.
This! I’ve faced her multiple times with my most powerful tanks in HC. Lost one toon and nearly lost another one. The only way I can kill her now is with a lot of kiting. Can’t facetank her with 70% phys resist and +50% resist overcap on bleed and pierce. Even 5k armor doesn’t help. Those sandwinds + her debuff + her attack = RIP. Only a couple broken (according to Zantai and his holy zealots here) builds can facetank and destroy her in under 4 min. Any “legit” DW build that is not using the no sandwinds bug is doomed to kite / fail. At least to my knowledge.
I am able to facetank her with the big tornadoes till i reach 50% of her health, after that i die. Because than her passive kicks in. This is with a melee s&b Warlord using Light of Empyrion. Due to recent changes from 20% change on melee to on hit, that makes a big difference. Normally i couldn’t get that far with the big tornadoes around.
