There's also Regen + "Barrier" from Marduk. It just isn't enough, against content that matters.

Remember, it is IMPORTANT to be at FULL health. Vigor drops of HARSH if you go below 100% HP. Halfway point is... 83% HP left, I think? For a team of 15k HP, that means that once you've lost 2.5k HP, you've lost HALF of the advantage from Thunder Aphro. Which will then eat into other synergies like Pursuit from Marduk.

You also have to remember that if anyone gets triple-attacked, it's basically instant goodbye to ALL Vigor damage for that person. Marduk has Combo- which reduces that chance significantly, but for example I believe Water Olympia is outright debuff immune (like Wind Rag), so that's not going to help. But Dian is the only healer who has the solution to this - HP potions. Instantly recovers 50% of one person's health, the perfect counter to bad RNG.
