Don't just throw gems at it. He will kill your whole squad every few turns and with his mitigation it will take you a long time and many gems that way.

There are two better ways to beat him: 1) Take him from >51% HP to dead in one turn. I killed him in one turn with with Maxwell lead, Maxwell friend, and four fire units. I used ores and brute elixers on everyone before BB/SBBing. If you cannot take him from 100% HP to dead, then get him down to a little above 50% HP, then use the ores and brute elixers and finish him off in one turn.

2) After he drops below 50% HP and casts mitigation, he can still be poisoned. Use a defensive squad with one unit that has a very chance to inflict poison. After he gets below 50%, you want to mitigate every turn, heal if necessary, and guard everyone else except your poison inflictor. It will still take a while and you may still lose, but it is possible to win this way.
