I don't think so. If you're running Herc, you could swap SSR Nike and Aphrodite though. Better yet, since we're in the age of Shingen, just swap to Shingen.

Awakened Poseidon is great against Fire, though. Lakshimi has great damage potential, and can certainly be of use... but I don't really see the point at least for most content. Something to keep in mind for debuff immune content, though. And finally, not really a fan of Saraswati without Vohu, though others disagree.

The loss of 30% Elemental is probably about as big (or even bigger) than the gain of Base Atk and Assault... so no.

Most veterans are using a Glaive grid since it works so naturally well with Sloth Glaives and Rahab Glaives. Are you unable to do so? If you are, then a Bow Grid can work, but only if you have 5x Water Assault Bows and don't need to swap the Soul weapon for one.
