You must dispatch Phee and Luther and buff up before you take him below the threshold that trigger deadly end.

Luther will debuff you and if you AOE him below the threshold, you'll be dead in no time.

Having a Rowgen is great as he can easily take Phee's hp down to 1/3 with his SBB. By turn 2, she be dead and if you had water element adding attacks, Luther can be taken out by turn 3 or 4, leaving 2-3 turns to take on Cardes and fully charge up SBB and buffs before Phee and Luther is summoned again.

ALWAYS dispatch Phee then Luther and buff up before taking Cardes to below the threshold for Deadly End. Save the SBB AOE when taking in Cardes alone.

My successful setup: Lily Matah (Lead) Shera Rowgen Lucca (water element adding buff) Altri (healer and cleanser) Tridon (Friend)
 * Note: after the patch, somehow Zebra's deadly end 100% leads to death even with mitigation and Tridon's Earthern Shield. Cardes's desdly end can be absorbed by Tridon's Earthen shield. Just my observation.
