0:00 Marcus Rank-Up Team
9:20 Marcus + Druvis
24:15 Jessica + Druvis (with Kakania)
First of all, Boss has Control Resistance. But this is no issue for Druvis! refer to the tips below. Druvis and Jessica are still able to petrify the enemy.
Marcus Rank Up team completed the stage in 10 rounds but Vila died, if the fight were any longer, I won't be able to survive.
Marcus + Druvis without Mercuria took 15 rounds! So yes, Marcus team deals more dmg however even taking 5 rounds more, in terms of sustain, Marcus + Druvis team had no issue surviving as long as they are attacking.
Jessica + Druvis on the other hand took 13 rounds as Jessica can make use of the petrification and deal higher dmg. BUT Jessica is at an DiSADVANTAGE in this fight because the enemy cannot be poisoned, this prevents Jessica from obtaining [Moss on Stone] stacks quickly, so perhaps Jessica runs can be around 10-11 rounds which is close to Marcus.
I didn't use Vila for Jessica as Jessica doesn't need crit, Jessica needs Atk and Crit Dmg as Jessica can crit if the enemy is petrified. (in this fight, I didn't adjust her resonance yet).
Tip 2: While it won't work in raid due to total immunity to crowd control, other fights including Reverie are not. Most bosses however have control resistance which after they are petrified, they will resist petrification in the next round. So pace petrification, use it every other round. When the enemy is petrified, use our strongest Atk due to the additional penetration rate of 25%.
One round (downtime) set up (merge card), buff, or debuff. Next round (uptime), petrify and hit the enemy with all higher ranking incantations and Ults.
Tip 3: Consider using low rank incantation during downtime to increase the probability to obtain a similar card which we can merge for moxie and obtain higher rank cards. This is crucial not just for Plant DPS (Marcus and Jessica) but for Druvis herself, as her S1 can only petrify at Rank 2/3. Getting moxie faster means more petrification.
