Yeah, but the thing here is, he had a damage cap because Lavenza was one attack away from going to next phase, so the damage was reduced to 84, but as other have stated, she does have Almighty Resistance until the last phase.

Just had a jank strat with a semi maxed Satanael, Joker with max health and SP. Akechi, Sumire,Yusuke. Yusuke was just there too boost evasion for my side as I found Futaba didn't do it often enough. And do some damage occasionally. Sumire was there for crits. And with your star onion phase with Akechi, I basically did the same thing, except instead he was either healing or debilitating. So, Joker and Kasumi was doing the main damage while Yusuke and Akechi were playing support. Oh, and I nullified Akechi and Sumires's weakness with an item that nullified bless and curse, then with Yusuke I just gave him another thing tah boost evasion from fire attacks. The battle took way longer than this one did. But I enjoyed every minute of it. I was proud. I was even more impressed with how you did it here, truly some impressive planning and skills.
