Let me see. I have thought of something you could used against Maxwell. Since you don't have a major healer like the Tree or Elimo, there is others that can still work in your favor. One of my friends recently done his trial run with a Phoenix healer. However, you do have some notable units you could use that would help.

Possible Team Composition:


 * Grahdens (Leader)


 * Darvanshel (A)


 * Melchio (O) 


 * Zelnite (O)/Alyut (G)

The typing on Melchio and Zelnite kinda made me cringe a bit since it's an Oracle typing but it's what you have and they are still good regardless of typing. It's just that loss of HP that could change the situations. But anyways, the reasoning behind this composition is to sustain heals and damage mitigation at important intervals.
 * Themis (L)/Rashil (G)
 * Lilly Matah (Friend)

Melchio + Lilly Matah is pretty potent and surprising once you do a test run. But anyways, Lilly Matah leads help gain that vital BB you would need for your units. Melchio is needed since he is your only source of status nullification. He also has a quick fill rate so with the lily matah lead, he'll be able to gain his SBB rather quickly than most of the other units.

I placed Zelnite or Alyut as one of your damage dealers considering that their BB/SBB helps fill up your gauges. Alyut, an underated unit, still shines through with his heal over time for 3 turns on his SBB. He does also offer a BB fill of 3 BC for 3 turns but the only downside to that is the cost of 52 BC. Meanwhile, Zelnite can offer a way to increase drop rate of BC, HC and fill 8 BC. This becomes equally important when things come down to a wire. Especially when it comes to that Sacred Song loop if you can get through that.

Themis and Rashil are basically the best premium healers you have at the moment. Themis does offer a dark element buff which could help spike up damage for the elemental weakness but Grah also offers that as well. Rashil is another option as he provides a weak crit chance buff. It is still a buff and could be useful but with only a 35% crit buff on a max SBB, it wouldn't be a shining light for you.

Other than that, it all becomes trial and error. It took one of my friends 15 tries with a meta unit team while another friend did with 5 tries with sub-optimal units. I guess it's how you end up strategizing in the fight. Good luck with the trial run.
