but nice to know that with enough atk down, i can get crom to nuke me for around 8k... meaning if i can get my normal lineup to her (mordred, raph, sol, tsuki, and diana), i might be able to survive with my HP topped off (and maybe both amaru and tiamat summoned for safety). everyone is packing over 10k HP (Sol at 14k) if i happen to take a friend hecatonchires. and quite frankly, i might need the HP.... can't get anymore on my grid without replacing a weapon (every weapon with defender is at skill lv 20 with my entire grid as high leveled as it'll get) or another accessory.

The HP is no longer a bottleneck at your stage IMO.

We're currently in that transition stage where high level content begins to pretty heavily punish debuff turtling, you can't exactly rely on stacking higher HP against the trash/ bosses all the time because eventually they'll out damage your HP, and there's only so much you can do with your base HP.

What you do need, IMO, is to begin exploring new setups with either your himes or your souls. It's tough, but try laying off the Mordred, and run Hercules PF (if you have axe), or Joan sniper shot to begin with. Hercules PF is the obvious nuke Crom down option, and you might be better off killing off certain trash mobs super early so you don't eat a heavy overdrive nuke, while Joan is for if you want to opt for turtling. If I were to pull an analogy, Mordred is like that walking aid you had as a child to learn how to walk, but you can't get too attached to it.

Edit: Well there's one thing I wanted you to do but forgot to include in: just use a Mana support and forget Heca.
