Am I wrong to think that it's best to use 2x20 instead of going directly to 40? You get twice more rounds, so twice the occasions to use critics and solar blast.

I guess that depends on what happens if you fail the first attack; if you have to resummon the boss with full health then yes, you'd be wrong but otherwise no. I haven't failed yet, so I'm not sure how that works out.
