vSCP, Zaan HM - What are the mechanics in “execute phase”?

So I’m very confused about something here.
When you fight Zaan the Scalecaller (Vet HM), she will activate a “Mage phase” at 80%, 60%, 40%, and 20% Health. This is where she summons three ice mages adds which you must kill asap or they’ll wipe the group.
That part makes sense.
What I don’t get is how the Execute phase (<20% Health) works in this fight. Zaan begins to activate these Mages phases much more often, but is it based on a timer? Is it based on 15%, 10%, 5% Health? Is there only one extra phase after 20% Health or do they keep happening? What decides how often she activates a Mage phase after it happens once at 20% Health?
I understand that currently the best stategy is just to burn her down asap after 20% so you never have to worry about those extra Mage phases.
After checking out every guide and video online, I still can’t answer those questions.

✭✭Once she’s done 4 phases of adds/ statues you just nuke her, fast. She’s usually dead by the time she’s finished picking up the mask or whatever it is.
Edit: I’ve never seen a phase at 10% on HM so your dps must be either slow or dead.Edited by Peekachu99 on March 31, 2018 12:59PM0 -
Nussi28✭✭I only did it without hardmode. But here I had the impression that the ice guys are coming time and not hp controled. We had one of these phases right before the end. Zaan was down to ~1%. Before this I thought he's invicible with his shield, in fact he's not. The damage is just drastically reduced. We finished this last 1% before the ice mages were killed while he had the yellow bar.0

Like I said, I’m already aware that the best strategy is to nuke her after 20% to avoid extra Mage phases. I’ve beaten this fight like 5x times already like this.
My question is about the actual mechanics after 20% when she activates these phases at a different pace. No guides online cover this and I was wondering if anyone knew them at all.0 -
jypcy✭✭✭✭✭It’s on a timer then. Same mechanical principle as Domihaus’ shouts/add spawns, where they’re health based until 10%/20% (iirc, numbers might be off), after which they’re on a short timer.0
