Every time this card shows up I know I am losing a hero. Other than making sure I have a Feint/Quick Strike in hand is there any other way of dealing with these guys?
Here's a list of the ways of handling this enemy if it was just revealed by the encounter deck given the time that the adventure pack came out
1. Destroy the fiend before it can make an attack by using any combination of
2. Not allow this enemy to attack with either a feint/ thicket of spears
3. Have a hero that can handle an undefended attack from striking tentacle
a. Heroes with 5+ health (Aragorn, Gimli, Glorfindel, Boromir, Dain Ironfoot)
b. Boost a heroes health with citadel plate above the 4 health threshold
c. Frodo Baggins can take any amount of damage as threat once per phase.
