I'm currently leveling Dahlia, and plan to replace Southern Cross with her in my Counter squad, or maybe switch the two around depending on the occasion.

My idea is, that for a boss with a Single Target special attack, Southern Cross would be better. Single Target attacks deal a lot of damage, and only 1 girl may counter to it, so Southern Cross is better to reduce those attacks and replace them with regular attacks.

However, an AOE boss attacks multiple girls, and gets a ton of damage from the counter girls in the squad. Reducing the amount of AOE attacks is not beneficial for the counter strategy at all! So, it'd be better to use Dahlia against these bosses, to reduce their damage while still allowing for as many AOEs as possible. (My counter squad can take half the health from the mid-boss in ?-8 when countering it's AOE, which is way better than I actually expected)

This is pretty much my general quest squad.

Team 1 focuses on Solar Blast damage, 2nd for obligatory chocolate nodes and decent buff, 3rd for pest raid and 4th for 1st turn combo.

Team 1 is a skill spam team with Iris for damage bonus and Gerbera for her attack boost due to skill spam.
Team 2 is my counter team. Star Lily and Southern Cross are here for defense bonus.
Team 3 focuses on Solar Blast and Shine Crystal drop. I hope I can replace Casablancaby Convalaria or German Iris one day.
Team 4 is just a high damage team with Kerria as the main damage source. The others are here for more attack boost. St Paulia is here because first waifu.

Well, I certainly miss something but I can't post any pictures or links here .

The ideal counter squad would not only have lots of counter girls, but also Enemy Attack Down girls like Bride Oncidium and Cherry Sage (Counter damage is based off girls' Attack and Defense stat, so less enemy damage means they'll live longer and counter more). Enemy strength in story maps grows faster than girls' Defense can mitigate, so Enemy Attack Down does a lot to help survival and survival = more counter opportunities.

It's true. But unfortunately I have not these girls. In the same logic, Southern Cross is bad in a counter team since her skill decrease the skill boss rate aka multiple counter chance. But I have nothing more with a defense buff :/

Very true, we just have to do with what we have available. That said, Southern Cross isn't really a bad choice. She does have a Defense Buff, and she is very useful against bosses who have a single target attack for their special. Given a choice between a "normal" attack against your girls or a single target special attack, I'd gladly take the normal attack. It's just the AOE bosses for which she isn't ideal. Not ideal, but certainly not bad either.
