Combating hypnosis

[fld88]

I was finding this game very creative, fun and addictive but then I ran into a character that wields hypnosis that seems to last indefinitely. Killing off all the opponents didn’t end the battle because my archmages effectively became an enemy troop. I couldn’t dispel the hypnosis. I tried running around and defending hoping to take as little damage as possible until it wore off but it didn’t. I ended up having to kill off my entire stack of 100+ archmages to end the battle. To me that is absurd and frustrating but hopefully someone knows of a strategy for this.
