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.

I had to change up the magic broom section. So I wind up, then wind up again, then cast sandstorm - then batter - I then had the magic broom into last pet and took the first two attacks. That allowed me enough health for my mana

Finally was able to beat them with this team. Got it on 2nd try, but did make 1 change.

After bringing in broom against Runehoof, I used sandstorm. This let me take a good chunk of his health down so I could do windup x2, and then batter to finish off, leaving me with enough health (and miss change from winds) to take the first 2 hits from Duster.
There is still some rng with crits & all (2nd attempt I did get a crit on my Soulrush so was able to skip arcane blast to kill duster). But I needed that extra health to get in the hits. (edited)

Jade Owl (2,1,1) + Enchanted Broom (2,1,2) + Blood Boil (2,1,1)
Start with adrenaline rush , trash & lift off , use adrenaline rush again and cast trash until owl is dead. by now slugger should be dead & runehoof should have taken decent damage before he kills owl.
Bring in Broom - cast Sandstorm -wind up wind up & batter.I was able to kill runehoof here.
Duster comes in his mothballs dont hit your pet bcoz of sandstorm...use batter ..with predatory strike duster kills broom
Blood Boil comes and finishes of with ooze touch .

Note: runehoof did miss one of his attacks on my broom ,bcoz of sandstorm. idk if thats bcoz of rng. but this strat has worked for me. thanks for reading.
