The other option is of course Snow Raphael, who can delay the boss's overdrive and mitigate it to 5k damage, which is more survivable. Her debuff is more likely to hit than Sniper Shot, but it's single-target so less useful on the initial trash. Subbing her for Poseidon in the initial team could allow Shingen to use Black Propaganda. But overall damage would suffer due to the lack of a class A DEF debuff.

Obviously combining SSR Nike and Snow Raphael would achieve the ideal result, but unless I get lucky that won't happen for a while.
How about using Belphegor if you're that wary of rage? Tbh, with Shingen, I'm pretty sure you could insta stun the boss even on elemental neutrality with that team setup. You could say that "what if I miss a def debuff?", but with debuffs lasting finally 3 mins, I think that shouldn't be much of a problem.. Belphegor could also cover for a missed sniper shot, even if only 12% instead of 20.
