How can believers triumph over Satan "by the blood of the Lamb" (Rev. 12:11)?
They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.
Revelation 12:1 - 17
NKJV - 1 Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars. 2 Then being with child, she cried out in labor and in pain to give birth.

Tim Maas
It was the shedding of Christ's blood that made the payment or atonement required by God for the sin of the redeemed, and thus enabled the redeemed to prevail through their faith in that atonement (which they maintained even if their testimony to that faith cost them their earthly lives) over Satan's desire and efforts to consign them to eternal separation from God through the denial of their faith.
