I didn't say you need Pernilla. I said she's tailor made for this quest. If you have her, there's no reason not to use her. If you lack the spirits strong enough to 2-shot the blue fodder in the 2nd round, you also lack spirits strong enough to get rid of the chargers and boss fodders fast enough before they own you with their skills. Plus, there are more Special Skills than nukes, shaves and delays.

You keep harping on about how the 2nd battle is the most important and that you must be able to 2-turn it to stand  a chance and Pernilla's a liability because she doesn't have a multiplier against water spirits. You also admit that Pernilla's Special Skill means you can replace 1 healer with Pernilla. So, were you to skip Pernilla, you'd have to run a healer. Healer have no multipliers against anyone. If you use a nuking healer, they'll die the second they set off the nuke. So, either you bring Pernilla and have a much easier time clearing thunder spirits along the way or you bring a healer, who has a much harder time clearing spirits along the way and in no way makes your team stronger against the fodder in the 2nd battle, unless their Special Skill is a 30-40% ATK boost or something (and there are no such spirits in the game at this moment).

The 5th slot is locked to Pernille or an AS healer. Your other 4 spirits need to be able to 2-shot the blue fodder (with or without Pernilla's//the healer's attack). Pernilla's lack of a multiplier against water has no bearing on the 2nd battle. Yes, Pernilla having an SS heal means she can replace a healer and serve as a hard hitter at the same time, but that doesn't change the fact that the point you keep harping on about (the blue fodder in the 2nd round) is moot.

The only way for Pernilla to be a liability is if she prevents you from killing off the red fodder in the 3rd battle before it hits you with a charged attack while a nuking or shaving healer (Phina or Arthur. That's it, right?) would've allowed you to. The 2nd battle is moot as there's literally no configuration where Pernilla's a liability against the blue fodder.
