I need help beating meerca henchmen.

HP - 100/100
Strength - 55
Defence - 20

Set:
Gelert Healing Remedy
Leaf Shield
Mystical White Cloak (often SDB)
Snowglobe Staff (I don't have it but I have no problem buying it, also my friend may lend me)
Honey Potion (my friend will lend me)
Ice Club
Golden Compass
Downsize!

The easiest way is probably to use a several Shooting Star Muffins (lame, yes, but it works). Here's how it goes.

1. Snowglobe Staff + Honey Potion + Sink/Burrow (your pick).
You must freeze them. They must not freeze you.
2. Shooting Star Muffin * 2 + fierce/berserk.
(Third round may not be necessary depending on their stance on round 1)
3. Shooting Star Muffin * 2 + Burrow/Sink (your pick).

And there you have it.

thanks graphite, I'm gonna try that tomorrow

EDIT: That didn't work, I just wasted 24k.

How did that not work? O_o

Edit: Whoa, I just realized I thought they had less HP (125) than what they actually have (175).

Not to encourage you to waste more NP or anything, but it should work eventually, as long as Meerca Henchmen use berserk once.

Is that strategy possible to utilize with 60 hp?

I have a strategy that can win with 60 hp if you don't mind restarting a lot.
You'll need: Prickly potion x2 (borrow for 400k each last time I checked), Thick smoke bomb, shooting star muffin or another high iconer, and the abilities sink and burrow.
1. Ppot x2 + sink; restart if you take a bunch of damage
2. Ppot x2 + burrow
3. Thick smoke bomb + muffin (or whatever other bomb you have) + berserk/fierce

If this doesn't finish them off, you might need to do downsize + ppot + defend and pray.
Restart if they freeze you (quite often) and you'll probably need to restart if they sink.

sadly, unless i can get them both for about 20k, im not getting them anywhere soon...
