Spoiler warning:Quest and/or game spoiling details follow.
Strange talisman can come in handy, so take some with you when hunting these.
For mages level 60 and below use mana shield when more than 2. It might be smart to use Terra Wave. Mages of level 70 and higher use Terra Strike and wand/rod (ideally Springsprout Rod) while standing still. A Lightning Set is very handy.
A mage around level 100 can easily hunt them and profit solely using soft boots and the dropped Mana Potions.
For spawns where you do not have space to run them, you may want to use manashield if you have less than 500hp as they can combo around 400 relatively easily.
Paladins should attack their with ammunition and Exori San before they deal major damage.
Knights Should try to avoid them at low levels since they are very strong against physical damage. However, at higher levels (around level 90) it can be profitable to hunt them because of the high gold drop rate as well as the many chances of looting NPC sellable items. Mana potions and exura will often be enough, soft boots are also recommended however try to keep some health potions at hand for safety. Knights can take a strong two-handed weapon and use exori when fighting more than one.
