I also have Venus who has a party-wide 15% damage cut- obviously not as good as 30% but thats another skill that seems kind of underwhelming since I already have a hime that can use it. Plus, I've heard that water is going to shift away from control/debuff and into a more burst-oriented setup in 2019. Would Asherah be a better choice then?
You eventually want to lay off Mordred to get Herc for water is one thing.

Snow Raphy herself is a special snowflake (heh) such that she's not just a debuff slave, her other 2 skills do help quite a lot. Is 30% for 2t more significant than 15% for 3t? Yes. Yes it is. Is orb eating good? Yes. Yes it is. Otoh, water shifting into a burst-oriented element won't be happening until more than 6 months later, so there's that. That said, your decision making comes down to:

1. Can you survive with your water team well enough without needing Raphy?
2. Do you need extra damage output for water?

And while I'm at that, I might as well ask, do you have any element outside of water to work with?
