I've failed this trial about 7 times now, and the closest attempt was about 30% on Karl's final form with Grahdens dead. (Once Grahden's died, I thought I was going to win, but my team suffered BC starvation from having to guard against Karl's DoTs and I slowly fell behind on keeping essential buffs active.)

Despite what some people below have said, this is a really difficult trial that has a lot of requirements that you must achieve with your team:

You need a mitigator, strong healing, status cleansing, high Def/HP boosts, reliable status infliction, high BC generation that isn't dependent upon BC drops from attacking, moderate damage that ideally prioritizes single targets, and you need to do this using elements that ideally aren't weak to Earth, Fire, Water, and to a lesser degree Light and Dark.

The top units for this seem to be Tridon, Bestie, and Edea. I don't have any of those, and I can't use a Bestie friend because she gets destroyed without an element damage cancelling sphere. My closest team so far was thus: (most units fully imped)

Lead: Oguro (hp and def boost, BC when attacked, consistent single target damage boost.)

Friend: Tridon (shield, mitigation, hp and recovery boost, bc boost from ssb)

Colt (BC generation per turn buff, damage boost from crit buff)

Elimo (healing, status cleansing, big def boost)

Balgran (status infliction, extra def boost)

Aaron (mitigator, BC boost, backup def buff)

The biggest problem with this team is that Oguro is crap for BC generation compared to Bestie, and it's a very difficult juggling act the whole time to keep necessary buffs, heals, and mitigations active, particularly once I had to start guarding two units at a time to counter Karl's flashing DoT debuff. That BC drop reduction is really nasty.

At the moment I think I'm just going to have to wait - this fight's really difficult without just the right mix of units.
