Boss Fight - Altered Bailey

- Defeat Bailey.
Well, that was bound to happen at some point, wasn't it? Bailey has been Altered by August's crystal, now it's time to take her down to make sure that she doesn't wipe out your crew.
Bailey has a number of stone-related Altered Skills at her disposal which you will need to take cover from. From where you start, head behind you to find two large square pillars in the courtyard. These are the only pieces of cover in this arena, so running around them and switching between them will be vital to take down Bailey.
Bailey's skills run the gamut from close-range to long-range to protective, and many of them are quite deadly. Bailey's Stone Wave attack is similar to the Brood Mother's Ground Spikes attack, with an eruption coming forth from the enemy in a straight line. This one is easy enough to dodge by sprinting or dodging to the side.
Ground Shock is a close-range shockwave attack that Bailey can cast very quickly if you are within range of her. It's range is fairly limited, so just try to stay a certain distance away when possible, even if you are behind cover, as the shockwave will come through the wall.
Rock Spikes is similar to the Blood Morpher's Impale ability that launches spikes out of the ground. Most of these usually spawn beside or underneath you, so try to run forward and away from your location to avoid these spiky dangers.
Armored Charge prompts Bailey to crouch, before dashing forward at you and stomping at the ground. Sprinting or dodge sideways to avoid this attack.

Veil of Stones is the attack that you need to look out for. While it may look like a defensive gathering of material around Bailey, it periodically shoots out very strong projectiles in a star pattern from Bailey. These projectiles can hit through corners of cover, and they hit hard, so it's a good idea to get as much distance and cover between you and Bailey as possible while this defense is active.
As Bailey's health gets lower, she will start multi-casting some attacks, such as Stone Wave, so make sure you keep running and/or dodging until her string of attacks is complete. If you can safely avoid all of these attacks, and Veil of Stones, then you should be able to whittle down her health relatively quickly from cover and with skills. This fight will favour any Leech healing that you can have at your disposal if available for your character.
