As with certain setups in level 15 of Sciorn and indeed in high levels of the last 100 level tower, there are fodder rounds which WILL simply kill you if you get them first up with no chance to build combo or get SS abilities on line. I'm glad that they seem to generally leave these things for high reward levels and/or levels which don't cost much to retry, and not for farm levels (and especially not for farm levels which cost 30 or 40 MP a pop).

I got wiped 3 times on floor 12 (twice by getting the three red fodder first up, before combo is up) and then said sod it and used one crystal to get through. Then waltzed through floor 13 in one shot with no crystals. Needless to say I didn't get the lone blue dragon in the first round.

I just FINALLY got my 9th Gille drop (not including the free ones) so I will have a SS Gille with +5, and after taking over 70 runs just for that the idea of trying for another 7 drops to max her out can bite me. Unless a new event starts today I guess I got to choose between farming floor 13 for XP or farming books.
