This guide breaks down the best strategy, gear, and timing to help you beat her easily (with a video guide below as well if you want a visual).

What to Bring for the Veronique Fight
Veronique deals almost entirely fire damage, so Fire Resistance gear is the top priority.
Equip flame-resistant clothing and accessories
Use the perfect guard grindstone if you have it, which makes parries easier to land
Bring the shotgun-style Legion Arm (from early in the Overture DLC) to keep her at a distance when needed
Weapons with heavy stagger and Fable Arts work best, since you’ll want to control her movement and get big windows for damage.
Phase Breakdown and Strategy
At the start, her hammer hits hard but doesn’t burn yet.
Watch for her vertical slam… it’s a hammer rev that starts to build flame status
Most of her attacks can be parried easily with the Perfect Guard Grindstone active
Try baiting her into a combo, then punish with a charged heavy or Fable Art
When you get her to about 60 percent health, things change.
She permanently ignites the hammer, and now almost every hit causes burn buildup
Stay aggressive but careful. Keep your resist high and don’t panic-roll
Use your shotgun Legion Arm or quick Fable to interrupt her charge patterns
Her flame jet attack can be sidestepped early, but the window is tight. Dodge behind and punish fast
You can eventually break her hammer by parrying enough swings, but this takes consistent deflects.
If you knock her down with a Critical Attack, immediately reapply your grindstone and prep for the next stagger.
Winning Tips
Don’t stand still… ever. She chains her combos quickly if you give her space
Bring Pulse Cells. Lots of them. Her fire tick damage adds up fast
The longer she stays ignited, the harder the fight gets… keep pressure up to force mistakes
Veronique Fight Rewards
Defeating Véronique really just gets you progression through the DLC path and unlocks new dialogue and item access further in. She doesn’t drop a weapon directly, but this fight is a major wall early in the game and worth the effort.

Final Blurb
Veronique is fast, flaming, and completely unforgiving. She’ll burn through careless attacks and punish hesitation. If you play tight, parry well, and bring the right resistances, you’ll turn her into your first real win of the DLC.
