There are literally hundreds of ways to do it. I understand the frustration when the strategy you like to use gets invalidated but the AI of token monsters made things way too easy. I was also quite upset when my Purpie team got ruined by the stun change, plus nerfs to both Redybug and Parasardon.
A very classic way to do PvE in the past was sleep lock. I’m sure if you look over your collection a few times you will come up with ideas.
