This also frees up your Soul to go more damage-focused (e.g., Shingen), and you don't have to run Jorm just to reach the ATK debuff cap early in the fight. The main weakness is obviously that you'll need to run Mordred or Black Propaganda for most encounters... just like every other element.

The reason I'm hemming about Water is that I don't have any optimal Water SSRs (just Shiva, who's meh), yet I have 1/2 of an optimal Wind team (Gaia and Sol, and also Oberon).
Oh my bad I thought Cthulu's debuff Atk was C frame, but it was actually A frame. Crap I messed up.

So with a debuff of -45% Atk/Def without Snow Raphael() the team should have
"Mordred + Sol + (Shiva) + Cthulu + SSRNike" [total of +40% Atk/Def buff if Ex ability is +20% Def buff]
Yes Black Propaganda is actually a must in every battle especially the hardest ones involving Ragnarok difficulty, so it might be hard to remove Mordred from this equation. Now I'm wondering whose Relic Weapon I should go for...

WIND is my second element, though it's kind of hard to get around it without Sol (yeah I don't have her actually...), with Sol + Oberon + Cybele as main debuffers, it could hit -50% Atk. Though the overall damage will be lacking with -35% Def only. Aside from that I noticed that WIND lacks SSR Kami debuffers and relies too much on SR Kami for the debuff. That's one of the main reason I'm not really fond of this element.
