Actually, yes. I've been trying to test out various squads with this one. Luckily, it's safe to use Barienna as a lead as Gazia barely inflicts Leader Skill blocks (thankfully, it's only to single units). Ark isn't much of a necessity, though it does help towards survivability and damage. Grahdens is also a great option to use along with an anti-debuffer lead.

In the future, Lucius or Dolk can be used as a friend unit, which both nullify and remove status ailments, respectively. Those two are viable options to choose from to make this fight a lot easier.
