How am I supposed to deal with a counterattack wave that has 6 breeders?

I'm on the 5th island, and have secured my reign on the other 4, but it is now getting hard to secure my reign on the fifth because every portal I destroy creates a harder and harder counterattack. Anyone know how to counteract this?
Thanks

Either speedrun the game early on to get the weakest counters or get more archers and just rush the portal side clearing the small portals on the cliff face side then bombing it.

In New Land there was the ballista hermit which worked very well, but i haven't had the occasion to test it on Two Crowns so i don't know what he worth

And other than that you can use the explosive barrel of the catapult, before an assault you pile up a full stack and with a bit of support depending of what you have, if you have 2 walls very near each others this way if the first is destroyed the catapult and the army are still protected before the second wall fall or last i tried was a pack of 3 towers a bit away from the last wall upgraded to max with 4 archers in which eat a bit the wave before it comes to your wall
Pikesmen helps a lot too, and once an explosive barrel set in fire a breeder i think he is condamned to a slow burning death so having some knights to send allow you to win time if your wall fall is also a good solution

Archer spam.
Island 5 has a lot of the vagrant camps behind multiple portals. Bring a baker.

Fire is pretty effective against breeders.
So the lizard mount or the explosive barrel of the catapult.
