I've just beat Cardes only, like just. I followed a guide on this page: http://www.reddit.com/r/bravefrontier/comments/2s7kcw/reeses_guide_to_cardes/

And experimented with using Ivris UBB on Team 1 for fight against Zebra. Helped to prevent my units from dying from Zebra's strongest attacks on 50% and 25% HP threshold, as her UBB gives 2 random units Angel Idol buff. Unfortunately, I had to sacrifice Team 1 after Zebra has launched those 2 attacks, what a waste.

Your Team 2 for fight against Cardes could be: Matah (L), Semira, Zelnite, Darvanshel, Melchio/Ivris

I found a Diana friend helpful (in place of your Matah), as she can help to speed up the battle by attacking. A healer like Ulkina and a BC filler like Elza/Rosetta would be recommended as well, since your units don't really fulfil these roles well.

I only managed to kill Cardes with my 3rd team as a ran out of Revives, and I am glad I selected good-enough-damage-dealing units for my last squad + a just released Zenia as leader. Good luck to you! I'm sure you can do it!
