Alternative to the Quill, I used Jade Owl (2/2/1). Wrecked Lifft easily - Just make sure you have more than 276 speed so you can use Lift-Off when you see him pop underwater.

Instead of the quill, Ethereal Soul-Trader worked (barely mind you). (1/1/1) save soul ward for the turn before Lifft uses Dive.
