We see both the beginning and the end of the fight between Ardbert and Cylva and both times she's wearing armor and wielding a sword with no hint in either cutscene that she physically transformed.

It's certainly possible she may have without it being mentioned, but it makes much more sense to me that Mitron's memory is twisted like everything else filtered through him in the whole raid series and the theme of her minions got applied to her as well. He doesn't even get the location completely right and where the actual fight took place from what we see in the Echo doesn't look like the E10 arena.
