Varied Terrains Difficulty

Hi, I have been playing spirit island for awhile and won against adversaries up to level 8. I am trying out the Jagged Earth Scenarios and Varied Terrains has kicked my butt. Maybe I have gotten unlucky but does anyone else have any thoughts on the difficulty and a good combo to take on this scenario besides the spirit listed.

As it says, build prevention is king.  I'm more likely to let Blight go through and focus on stopping builds.  Unless you're playing against England (don't), fast Explorer movement and destruction are huge, so I like Wind-Lightning, Finder, Fractured Days, Shadows with almost any Aspect, and Starlight with certain growth options.  Wildfire should also be good but I don't have a good feel for it yet.

I was able to do it last night with Fire and Shadows (w/ Aspect) and it was so much easier! Thanks for the tips.
