You can complain about Raphael being boss focused but I can complain that Micheal is awful because she's inferior for bossing. We don't need every single hime to be all-purpose. Being a boss focused hime is not an issue and is no way a fault for using Raphael, especially when it's only half of a single skill that is for bosses but in reality all her skills can be used on any mob. One skill simply loses half its effect if the enemy doesn't have a rage meter and in rage mode. Is Sol less useful if you don't need her cleanse or dispel? No. Why would Raphael be?
Michael's entire kit can be unloaded onto a boss and still be fully useful. In case of Raph, you either need to delay some skills or use it only in certain circumstances to make the most out of her. And don't even compare Sol with Raph. Sol is clearly an overpowered KH who's utility way exceeds many even when her entire kit is not in use.

My reason for complaining about Raph is simple. She failed as a "defense" KH. Heck even Sol is a better defense KH than her.
ATK down 15% vs 20%, there is no questions asked. Sol wins.
% Rage meter depletion is a very niche use even on bosses/raid bosses since most people save up full burst for the boss rage before unloading it and forcing it into stun. Compare that to dispel which is invaluable and cleanse which is live saving at times.

You're clearly scrapping the bottom of the barrel here with your argument when you bring in Balor. Balor's paralyse have a ridiculously low proc rate that it might as well not even be there in the first place. Thor's paralyse on the other hand is a different story.

And the reason I'm comparing Raph and Thor is because:
1. They are both SSR.
2. Both abilities deals damage and apply a charm/paralyse respectively.
3. The goal of both debuffs is exactly the same; stun the enemy.

But clearly paralyse is without a doubt the superior debuff compared to charm due to its surefire lockdown. The ONLY complaint one could have is how short paralyse lasts with teams that require constant rebuffing but that clearly isn't the case with Light at the moment until New Year's Nike is available.
You, stating about charm and paralyse being its own thing is like comparing that a bicycle and a car are different. Of course they are, but nobody cares about a bicycle if the goal is to get somewhere faster.

Regardless, there are other SSR's with -15% debuffs, don't make it sound as if all SSRs with a debuff have a -20% one aside from her, and with DMM at a -50% cap, it's easily achieved as many light main player most likely have Sol.
It IS a big deal when you don't want your Soul to be a debuff bot or when your front line spots are limited with cores like Sol, Lightsuki, SSRtemis. If a player have access to all the SSRs in the game, no one in their right mind would put Raph in that last spot. Same goes to Michael as well but even IF a defensive kami is needed, people would easily opt to go Eros instead because while being a "balanced" KH, the defensive capabilities that she brings to the game far outweighs anything Raph can ever do as the quote-unquote "defense" KH.

I'm saying she is far inferior to a good majority of the other Kamis because despite having the same rarity and pull rate as every other SSR KH (well we don't know the numbers for sure because the exact pull rates are never shown but I'm assuming it is) even among the "weak" light team, her abilities are far weaker than what other characters in the same rarity and element can bring.
My argument here is that Raph needs a buff. More that any of you originally though. And most of the time, they only way the Devs would do a HUGE buff is through AW.
