Default Re: How do i get rid of this pretender ?

For Vengeance of the dead, keep in mind medusa shield is likely the best counter against it.

Since spell options have been covered pretty well, I'll go on the SC options.

Keep in mind gargoyle is immune to Aegis petrification, as its a stone being. Don't know if you have the paths to summon + GoR them though. Crusher shows as stone being on the database but I've heard it's bugged, you will want to test it before GoRing them.

GoRed Gargoyle would make good patrollers against tele raider if you can get a couple of them equipped.

If you are using CBM 1.8x, vine whip has irrestible 1 AoE vine lock. Gargoyles with a vine whip and chi boots (might want cold immunity from ring or armor just in case) can probably kick him to death 1 on 1.

If CBM 1.9x, a gargoyle with gladiator gloves, speed boots, stone bird and astral snake have a fair chance 1v1 against him especially if you can get the snake paralyze hit in 1st. Again Rime hauberk optional for cold immunity.

Barring gargoyle, high MR SCs will have to do.

Finally, an example patrol team (many other types of patrol team that can work):
1. Bane - Eye of aiming, summer sword. Script cast
2. Bane - Piercer (or Just man)
3. Bane - Piercer (or Just man)
4. Chaff troops
Chaff troop buys time along with any PD, Sword bane attempts vine lock. Position to have enemy pretender as close to your sword bane as possible when you vine lock (have chaff hold a few step in front, or maybe anchor to an extra commander). Archer bane will proceed to peg him to death, piercer and Just man can both fully/partially bypass shield block. If enemy is cursed he'll also build affliction like crazy in the meantime.

In 1.8x vine bow also had AoE 1 vine, not sure if there was a change in 1.9x, if not it can replace summer sword.
