@Slashley, I didn't check your roster but are you usig atk down himes? Have you tried dropping them for more offense based attacker/buffers? The past norm was to opt for -40~50% atk/def down but it seems we're getting to the point you may as well drop atk downs and opt for full offensive because we'll have the hp to deal with the damage or we won't survive it unless we focus entirely on a defensive team.

between weapons and skill levels, whatever the gachas throw at you (free or paying), and when you started (cause that effectively locks you out of some powerful stuff), this game is far too random to try and set a "base line for an amount of power".

best we can really do is pretty much put out there what's the best stuff to look for at the time, but there's no true defining answer when it comes down to it... someone could possibly find a way to tank so hard, you barely lose HP, while others can nuke stuff to high hell in a turn.

this game pretty much boils down to "here's some random shit, make of it what you will"

wanna avoid the random factor as much as possible? get as much of the guaranteed stuff as you can. other than that, RNG can make you it's bitch when it wants to. case in point is how i STILL can't get a damn assault drop from the raids after over half a year, yet i pulled SSR left and right (a bunch of times for free).

i just don't have full potential yet... i never took the time to get any relic weapon yet (gonna change with the light ones here now), didn't run AQ too much, and my grids are at half the strength a lot of the frequent forumers are on here (yet i might have around the same potential assault caps)
There are still controllable factors anyone can manage but the matter in the fact is that not everyone will bother to use those features to the fullest because not everyone puts the same amount of time and effort into this game as others do. So when you got players going around saying things like the average player should be able to do cap damage or things like 1 shot AQ4 boss and expecting everyone else to play on their level while calling it the average, it can can come off a elitist, as if anyone who isn't on their level are treated as below average when clearly that player is simply above average. (Guaranteed me using the word elitist is going to trigger people.)
