Another day... another army
I hate Gremlins even more than Phantoms and Fiends. At least fiends are EASY to kill.
:I
So I wonder when will the devs will realize how ridiculously frustrating and stupid this is.
Tip: Freezing or burning demos makes them go crazy:

i don't attempt to fight the bombers until everything else is dead, just stay out of their way. after that its just a matter of time getting a sword strike in whenever possible.
freezing them only helps keep certain ones in the same place, when attempting to attack them they continue to drop bombs that prevent you from meleeing without being hit.
curse is nice though, cursing a bomber is a death sentence for them without doing any other hits. Not sure if curse damage can cause them to drop another bomb and do more curse damage... assuming not.
i dunno, just switch to acheron and... piece of cake ;)
and if you dont have various swords for various monsters? guess you're just SOL~
1) Equip a gun.
2) Kill whatever is chasing you. The bombers will not chase you, but something else will. Kill it first.
3) Work your way from one corner to the other. Every time you fire the gremlins will backstep. Your gunfire should be able to herd the gremlins into a corner.
4) Corner them.
5) Kill them.
Above all, do NOT circle the room. Circling the room works for most enemies, but not gremlin bomber waves.
Yeah just got myself a black hawk for the sole purpose of killing the little gits, it works
Blackhawk pawns gremlins, great for sniping menders and bombers.
Okay, this is why Blast Network exists. It shows you how to deal with these guys. :P
