Well, in this build I should have been rushed. Normally, rushing Lanka is one of those bad ideas. The sacreds with a good bless kill.

I think you need to attack them just when you enter the midgame, before they get the blood summons, thunder strike, communions, mistform etc. Raiding a lot also helps. You need the gold for mages and the mages for blood slaves as Lanka.
