How does Bloodwing survive the first four rounds of combat?

In Borderlands, Bloodwing uses her wings for protection, making her critical hit area, her head, difficult to target. When her health drops to 50%, she gains shock abilities from Jack and is healed to 75%. If her health falls to 25%, she receives corrosion abilities from Jack and is healed to 50%. Even if her health reaches 0% before the corrosion phase, she is not defeated. She can execute potent elemental and melee attacks, and can also recover health by converting a portion of the damage she inflicts back into health.

Notes

• If a Sabre Turret occupies the spot on which Bloodwing lands, Bloodwing may glitch into the ground below the turret, making it impossible to access her collar and retrieve Claptrap's upgrade. If players save-quit the game and travel back to Bloodwing, she will be lying in her proper spot and the mission can be completed.
• Subsequent visits will have Son of Mothrakk appear in the Observation Wing instead.
• Bloodwing's headless body can later be found displayed on a pedestal in Opportunity next to the Living Legend Plaza.
• Changing Bloodwing's form counts as a Second Wind.
