National troops and mages vs SC and High Magics

To be fair, at 5E, Petrify is not particularly easy to cast for most nations.

There are other, easier options. Many nations have access to astral-2 mages (even astral-1 will do with a Banner of the NS) who can cast Stellar Cascades, and if you bring enough of them (5 will usually do), the offending SC won't even have the time to cast his/her buffs. If it's a VQ, even better - whoever can cast Stellar Cascades can finish her off with Solar Rays.

And that's just an example.
