Whoah? Eating even two of that terrifying Burst scares me. Though, I don't think I've ever had more than -55% Atk (Raiko, Outrage, Sol, Yatagarasu), so going for more would certainly cut the damage taken by a whole ton. By one third, in fact. Still... aiming for an endurance battle against THAT Rage Overdrive scares me.

My aim is to save full Burst and all abilities for the Rage phase, to get hit zero times while she's in Rage. For Water this is really easy thanks to Belphegor (-30% Rage meter, WHAT? Who thought that'd be a good idea on a SR?!), but most of my teams can handle it okay-ish. Thanks to lack of Oberon and powerhouses, my Wind really struggles. And I'm not sure about Dark, since I have no plausible Light team. I think I was out on the first day of Light Accessory quests thanks to x-mas, and last week I did T1-T3. I guess I'll find out how well I can do off-element in a few days...

I wish that I could bring Gilgamesh's Rage meter skill... ... wait, I think I can on my Water team. Belphegor + Ryu-Oh should do well as long as I can clear wave1. That's an instant 44% Rage meter reduction, if I understand how stuff works right. Is that enough to instantly get past Rage with -32%
Def will be seen in a few days.

That's not the only long cooldown that I'm used to running with - Outrage is 8, both Ryu-Oh's A debuffs are 8, Yamaraja's B debuff is 9 and Ryu-Oh's Black Propaganda is 10!

So I've learned to rush through turns ASAP, but I still constantly lose the debuffs on these specific ones. I'll get more used to it over time I guess.
