* Warding casters will have more success against this creature with a high [[TD]] if they cast dispelling magic upon it first.
* [[Standard_maneuver_roll|SMR]]-based attacks like [[Condemn (309)]], [[Earthen Fury (917)]], and [[Spike Thorn (616)]] frequently tear through bloodspeakers. [[Animal Companion (630)|Animal companions]] can also do significant damage.
* [[Silenced|Silencing]] tactics like [[Cutthroat]] and [[Sucker Punch]], or the similar [[Corrupt Essence (703)]], will halt their threatening [[Wither (1115)]] spell. ([[Silence (210)]] itself is unlikely to hit barring an unusual build heavily focused on [[Major Spiritual]] ranks.)
