common high end sc protection/defense values ? possible defeat with common troops ?

[Vynd]

I suppose this could work. Although if the SC has a life draining weapon he may still be able to replenish his hit points faster than you can wear them down. You'll also have to worry about your troops routing before they finish the SC off.

On the bright side, a Pan that can cast Weapons of Sharpness can also cast Petrify. After you research up to Alt 6 (or is it 7?), of course. That ought to be pretty helpful in taking down SCs.
