Have you tried following my guide? 24k ATK should be enough to use it on Expert.

For the most part yes. I haven't been using any Hime that have defense break on them, this could be my problem?
Picture was not clear, been using Seigfried (maidens prayer), Gaia, Brynhildr, Amon, Nike, Artemis(sub), Baal(sub)

going to try swapping Nike for Cybele

What is really strange, mb you do something wrong? I am killing expert even with mine team, slow killing mobs, when do full debuff+buffs at medusa, slowly get her max rage, burst when medusa have half hp, have behemoth friend summon. Mordred dots is so op, it is half of mine dps. I think you should swap Nike and Artemis, you already have good healing.

Come to think of it, in Expert there should be only 3 mobs, so that might not be enough to build to Full Burst. You might have to modify accordingly.

Some thoughts:
Use all your light kamihime and pair them with Amon (affliction protection) and Indra (affliction removal). Use Van Helsing with Maiden's Prayer for an additional affliction protection. Use Amon's affliction protection immediately and kill the 1-charge overdrive enemy, then the 3-charge enemy, letting neither of them use their overdrive. Try to time it so it takes 4 turns. Taking the remaining enemy down should take 2 more turns, but hopefully longer. When the boss fight begins, spam skills to reduce her HP and force her into Rage ASAP. You have 2 turns to force her into Rage (and 2 opportunities to prevent Petrification), at which point you should be ready for a full burst. Your Burst should force her into Stun immediately. Amon's Protection CD should be up again, now giving you a 3rd block. The entire fight should be over in 4 turns, and if it's not, she should be sufficiently injured that you can finish her off with intermittent auto-attacks and skills. Indra and Van Helsing's cleanse should give you a 4th opportunity to remove Petrification at some point.

Thanks for the tips, though swapping out Nike for Cybele for def break let me full burst her into rage mode in 1 attack (which I couldn't do before with Nike) Just won without losing a hime. I'll keep running this team and see how my winrates go. If its still low Ill try change my soul.

Wow, was crushed that my team was wiped so close to a win but it still gave me the win since poison killed it. Petrification can be really brutal.

If it still gave you the win then dont feel crushed, you should feel so satisfied after such a win!
