My Heroes did not stop the ritual. So the battle for Faerun has begun. While the Fighter, Paladin, rogue and Ranger attacked Tiamat, the Druid buffed the group and the Wizard tried to banish Tiamat. The attackers rolled really good: 3 crits by the paladin, 2 crits by the rogue and another three by our Champion fighter. But as they saw that this was not enough (it was really close), they paniced and teleported away. Tiamat, the latest citizen in Faerun, starts to conquer faerun.
Does banishment work on Tiamat once she set foot on Faerun?
Will a succesfully cast banishment on a Higher spell Slot free Faerun from Tiamat?
Yeah, legendary resistances are the problem here. The DM is definitely going to use a legendary resistance to avoid the Banishment succeeding. So unless you think you can make Tiamat fail 4 saving throws, don't even try. Or you can try to burn her legendary resistances with other spells. But I don't think the DM is required to tell you when they use a legendary resistance, so you'll still be guessing whether you even have a chance.
Tiamat is immune to spells of level 6 or lower, so you’d need to upcast it to 7 to have a chance. And then you run into the +9 cha save. And then the legendary resistance. It can work in theory, but it’s a long shot.
I forgot about the limited magic immunity, yeah, that would only give you 4 shots per level 20 caster. Tiamat also has 5 legendary resistances, so she actually needs to fail 6 saves with +9 modifiers.

Thanks in advance for any answers or hints
Banishment could work. Tiamat is a devil. It would have to get through her high saves and legendary resistances.
Also, tiamat was much weaker as she was coming through the portal. Now that she is through, she is her full CR30 self.

It could work, but is hardly reliable...
