You have Idun, Buer, and Cernunnos. You, my friend, are done. You have a completely working damage cut team. And plenty of options on how you want to run it.

I'd run Idun, Buer, Pluto as a base minimum. This brings heal, damage cut (2/8T 30% and 1/6T 30%), cleanse, and a potion! (It also has attack up 20% and defense down 10%.) I'd scrap the On Element Kaiser, you won't need it (but you can use it if you want to). I'd also not bring Andro (standard damage cut soul) as Buer does her just as well. For your 4th Hime, I'd consider either Lu Bu or Nyarl for defense down (15%). You could also swap Cernunnos for Idun but I wouldn't swap out Buer.
You have the option of running either Shingen or Hercules in this setup.

With Shingen you can run Encourage Inspiration and PF but you'll only have 25% defense down. With Hercules you can bring her Axe for 50% defense down and she's an individual heavy hitter. My preference is Shingen, but that's because I favor raids where I'm sure others join and usually bring some defense down ability.

You also have less need for Nefertem. Idun and Buer are not equivalent to her (as she's in one Hime slot), but they are close enough that you won't miss her terribly. If you are thinking of MTixing a Hime, I'd look to Berith. She's a solid hitter, helps tank (with fortitude) and also gives you a source of Assault/Exceed, if you need those. If you have last year's raid hammers, you might not want to do this as there are other team-wide Himes that can help a damage cut team more than she can. I'd then either pull Thanatos (with defense down and super fast) or Dark Svarog. She's an absolute beast for Dark and also has an Assault/Vigor Axe and will be available in 6 months. You could also look to Erebus with her Vigor as a powerful 4th Hime. Honestly there's a lot of choices you can use and you can pick some strong contenders to help round out the team. I'd prioritize getting 3 sources of exceed however you can, but then go for ascension and vigor to round out your damage cutting.

I'd still run the gun grid (best free grid right now), but if you get luck (or willing to spend) run Svarog's Axe and Nefertem Staff as your potential end game grid.
