Not sure yet how to approach 3xR next week, as having Metis + Sol + R might not be enough damage.
I forgot if you have Raphael or not (AW optional.) Her with Mordred MEX orb eat will run circles around Sandalphon such that either Metis/Sol combo or Behemoth should be off CD as long as you can keep BP up. For those not running light, any 6T CD orb eat should work, so Satan, Prometheus or if you like fighting with elemental disadvantage, snow Raphael.

Tanking the trigger should also be doable since you have Sol, that's 20% atk down C frame right there. EX sniper shot and you're up to 40%, which should bring the trigger dmg down to around 10k or less. Stack resistance, defense, barrier and it should easily be tankable. If you have Vishnu and/or Takeminakata as main, they both have abilities that nullify dmg for 2T, so you can put it up right before OD, and they'll take zero dmg from both the OD and trigger (I guess you can only pick one to accomodate 3 R though.) Hercules can also more easily survive with the 30% reflect, so at least you'll have your primary dmg dealers intact - Hercules is next week's mission anyway.
