Commander Zilyana (Hm) is a hardmode version of Commander Zilyana. As the name suggest, she is harder to beat than her regular counterpart. Apart from increased stats and buffed minions, Commander Zilyana (Hm) also has different mechanics and her droptable is extended with the Saradomin artefact drop.
One can fight Commander Zilyana (Hm) by right clicking on the door to the Saradomin boss room and select "join instance (hm)". Similar to the regular version, she drops items for the three highest damage dealers.
Mechanics
Commander Zilyana (Hm) has a couple mechanics she will use throughout the fight and is aided by her three minions: Starlight, who uses melee attacks that drain the player's prayer points; Growler, who uses magic attacks; and Bree, who uses ranged attacks. These minions have improved combat power compared to the ones that aid the regular boss.
Zilyana herself specializes only in melee attacks, which can deal up to 143 damage if the player is not using the Protect from Melee prayer. Often, she will shout a sentence while swingin her sword, taunting one of the players and preventing them from moving for a short period of time. Players should prepare themselves very well, as she deals melee damage consistently through prayer and armour!
She can also buff the combat power of her minions during the fight, in which she will raise her sword up and briefly jump into the air, shouting "Saradomin, lend me your power" and surrounding her minions in a veil of blue lightning bolts that heals them for 20 hitpoints and herself for 10 hitpoints. Additionally to the bolts surrounding her minions, other bolts appear on random places in the boss room, rapidly dealing magic damage up to 20 hp per bolt if not sidestepped.
Weakness
Commander Zilyana (Hm) is weak to any arrows type of damage and players will benefit from a 50% accuracy boost if they attack Commander Zilyana (Hm) with proper damage type.
