Berendain	If you don't have Shrieker, you can try substituting in your choice of magic pet with strong damage against flying pets. Shrieker is the most reliable, but pets like Servant of Demidos and Eldritch Manafiend can work too. It should have more than 266 speed in order to be faster than Runehoof (when he is affected by Eyeblast). Servant of Demidos is an exception, because of Siphon Anima. The TD script will work up until you bring in your third pet, if you are attempting the strategy without Shrieker. If you have multiple breeds of Sanctum Cub, use the one with the most power.

You can use Pounce when you predict that Sanctum Cub will not survive this turn. He will die to Horn Attack if under 351 HP, but Horn Attack has a one round cooldown, and Horn Gore can do up to 441 damage. Don't stress too much about using a Pounce before dying.

Failed spectacularly the first time due to my Sanctum Cub getting hit with a crit and Runehoof destroying Eye of Corruption in two hits.

But on the second go, Eye of Corruption finished the fight. Solid.

Eldritch Manafiend saved my bacon. Just used Soul Rush on the first turn against Duster, then Arcane blast to get it below the threshold that Surge of Power would kill it without having to take damage while recovering. Perfect strat!

I substituted Eldritch Manafiend for Shrieker. Took about 7 times and when it works it is beautiful.
