and then i got hit by the "super move" when she is not raging and got scorched+poisoned(?) and heal block
*sigh*
not sure if just to uploade it as it is or to try to record it again tomorrow

That actually sounds more interesting than watching "perfect" run. While I was trying out ragnarok first time I got hit with overdrive in non rage and was unpleasantly surprised that scorch does more than 700 dmg each turn. It burned almost all 4 kamihime's and soul to death (in the end one kami and soul died and another one kami (Nike?) died after killing yatagarasu). Shame that I didn't record it.

well, maybe it'll be more interesting than "perfect" run if it wasn't around 8min battle XD
i recorded ultimate run too, so maybe after dinner i'll uploade both..or just ultimate XD

Huh, surprised that ~31k with 60% assault with a team of Cassiopeia (Sniper Shot), Gabriel, Triton, Nike, Rusalka, Dazbog (was leveling her, forgot to swap her out), and Undine (without 2nd skill unlocked...) got Ragnarok down to about 10%.
Swapping out Dazbog for Kushinada, picking up Undine's 2nd skill, and refining strategy should close the gap. And maybe some more time/gems thrown on raising that assault more.
The healing block/burn is pretty vicious though.

Pulled it off after upping assault to 70% and moving Kushinada up to 5th slot.
Strategy was essentially 'avoid normal overdrive'. Spent a long time in raging mode, but that's a simple war of attrition. Cassio/Nike/Kushinada's heals combined still meant that I was losing in the longterm though, as I did lose a couple of members towards the end. Triton's self-heal was pretty handy in this slugfest though.

Thinking about the relative impact of various kamihime here, I'm fairly sure that if Aphrodite was there in place of Kushinada, this fight would've been a pushover instead of close from having enough healing to make rage mode trivial. Belphegor should be able to push the fight into comfortable range due to shortening raging mode + freeing up the ex slot for Black Propaganda.
As for by the time of the first reprint...
Nodens offering a 2500 drown plus a 600 hp per 7 turns regen should help. Apsu having a 750 hp per 6 turns regen (at R!) should also be enough of an upgrade over Kushinada's healing to upgrade the fight to comfortable*. Cupid probably wouldn't have improved my chances over Kushinada though.

*close is when I feel that my win probability is in the ~40-70% range, so varying from slight edge in one direction to moderate edge in the other direction, with a dose of pessimism
comfortable is when I feel win probability is at ~70-90%
And a fight's a pushover when it's at 90%+ as it'd take a damned fluke for me to lose

DoTs scale with max HP. They're unpleasant like that. If you run with HP buffs, it can actually work against you.

Yeah, the worst part was that I didn't have anything to deal with it... So I burned for about... 3-4 turns? On the bright side I could brute force my way through her since I took sniper shoot to decrease her atk and def.

The thing is that I was under wrong impression because of Ares self inflicted burn, it does ~250 dmg each turn and she have ~6k hp.

well, i decided to listen to jazz and upload my battle in ragnarok level, not because it's more interesting to watch a battle with mistakes, but to warn other players not to let her to use her "super move" while not raging (if possible ofc)
so first my boring run in ultimate mode:

Alright since the Ragnarok difficulty isn't too chat-worthy, allow me to talk about something on the side.

I'm slightly piqued with the pre-event 4 day break we had. Rationally, we would want to play during weekends as we don't have to worry about other obligations like work/school/etc. But the dev decided to skip that and force this event to begin on a Monday, so I think they are trying to compensate for something.

DMM wiki shows that they had their first Yatagarasu event on the first week of August, roughly a week later. And they had almost no break between this and the previous Union event. On top of that, there are tons of holiday-related events/himes (e.g. X'mas Satan) in the short future. It would be funny if they miss or overshoot the holidays themselves. So I think the dev is trying to use the break time as extensions to synchronize the event schedule with the DMM (albeit 1-year apart). Is this plausible? Does this mean we will have more breaks in between to cover up that week-worth of mismatch?

finally was able to finish off Ragnarok w/o elixir... took 10 min tho

Not paying attention to my auto battles and didn't noticed I had gotten a couple SR weapons and even a copy from Yata as a drop. Jeez.
