I'd say let her be killed (for the duration of the battle and the aftermath), then resurrected - if there is any resurrection available in Glorantha, a leader like Kallyr would be a typical candidate.

Her having been dead for a while also muddies up her claims for kingship, enough so for other Argraths to step up and present their own claims. There is that ugly precedent with "Zombie" King Andrin of Heortland...

I regard both accounts as correct.

I would play this out so that Kallyr gets killed, your hero then can set to the task of rescuing her body. Should he fail - maybe Minaryth Blue confused Leika's later actions with Kallyr, and was remembering wrongly. If he succeeds, a resurrection will be available. Possibly one resurrection, but two worthy candidates.
