However, she did have a nice durability feat given that the fireball just knocked her back. (Zelena fireballed a guy and his head exploded.) You don't need to kill someone to win a fight.

She could have frozen her, like Peter Pan did with Regina (and everyone else) in 3x11. Heck, Zelena herself did it with Regina in 3x17.

And that's it.

We know the doppelgangers can't be killed, but we also know that magic works on them.
