Agree with all above.

Maxwell is like older bosses using Defense ignore vs your squad the entire fight (newer content bosses don't and thus make Defense best for surviving, but that's a separate topic).

As other posts said, you should avoid having so many dark units due to the innate bonus dmg Maxwell will deal (inclduing her extra random attacks that increase as you weaken her like her Meteor).

Having 3 dark units, even if you use a defense vs dark lead like Grah/Cardes friend lead is still going to be a ton of damage you will take for the turns with Destiny.

I would only keep Aaron if you have no other mitigator / friend mitigator, but there are so many previoius non-dark ones that came before Aaron that would be better (Darvanshel, Narza, Shera, even Oulu despite his Defense buff being useless here, since he wont take extra dmg from dark).

As for Tridon, his shield was OP before Gumi nerfed and changed it. The defense part as someone stated above is not an issue since Maxwell ignores your defense the entire fight due to Rune every 4 turns anyway. However, Tridon's shield no longer "eats up" an entire attack, but still gives your units a 2.5 to 3.5k hp buffer. So, he is still a great defense choice due to his +50% HP lead with 10% damage mitigation.

Other defense vs light/dark worthy choices are if u have any Grah friends (6 star is now available) due to flat 20/35 % stat boost + 15% dmg mitigation, as well as any friend you may have with Cardes lead (20% light/dark dmg reduction that would stack with Grah/Tridon dmg mitigation).

Lily Matah was considered a high if not top choice for her LS / BB/SBB "Generate BC when u get hit" mechanic, but Diana 7 star is Lily 2.0. So if you have any friend with her as lead (or got her yourself) she's op choice since Maxwell was WAY before 7 stars even existed.

Do you really have no healers? Not even a Selena starter 7 (heal each turn for 3 turns on BB / SBB)?

If you really need more leads/mitigators you can add me if you want.
