Of course, depends on content. 80+ rounds of Water Rag is going to wear anyone down without heals.
Maybe because I'm lacking assault/defenders for most of my grid so even at the point where I have 3 legendary souls I still feel like I lack heals. Even though my non-main elemental teams are all at least 35k power atm they usually only have around 5k-6k hp so it feels like even though the boss is just trying to tickle me I feel like I'm getting run over by a truck. Could also be because I'm using elemental attack eidolons instead of the 40char/20hp ones.

So it seems like Andro weapons are probably not worth it for mid-end game. And since in order to unlock Hercules I would need 400 soulpoints more(still need achilles) than unlocking Joan, it might be better for me to get Joan so I can have an easier time with the next few events. This should allow me some time to get a couple Assault/Defender SSRs so that I have the HP to replace the damage cut when I swap to Hercules. At least that's what I'm thinking would be better overall for my situation.
