Any even half-reasonable team will finish this boss pretty easily, I just don't kit everyone out with massive damage increasing trinkets and buffs like I ordinarily do, although I generally do boost ACC as much as usual. Maybe heal trinkets on the ANT, maybe even a silly dodge team with Smoking Skull/Ancestor's Coat on ANT and Sun Cloak/Camouflage Cloak on everyone else and spam Invigorating Vapors. Something like PD/ANT/♥♥♥/MAA works fine. This means careful party arrangement can help some but if RNG wants to screw you over it certainly can. Even though her skill no longer checks resistance, and is instead a flat 70.

I don't bring a VES either but I usually don't bring her to Cove anyway. The siren is programmed to target the least resistant hero 3/4 of the time and target at random 1/4 of the time. My main change to usual Cove is just not bringing OCC to avoid the crit heal. Honestly, when I want her dead, just grab good bleeders and watch her kill herself. Most of the time I did bother taking a Leper, he spammed Solemnity, which was beneficial for all.

After all, half the time someone is seduced, they often use buffs or non-damage abilities.

At most, I'd be wary of something like a Leper - not just because his damage is nasty against a hero, but because being sent to the back after seduction is just as good as re-seducing him for another two rounds without shuffles.
