OP please read this: Dance Team Guide VS Raids

I was once like you. I thought that having high stats units with heavy specials equipped with raid weapons were the answer to going far into raids. And it was working decently for me until Sapras raid where I couldn't even get into the boss wave at level 99 even with a full team of frying-pan (the event weapon then) wielding bruisers. I needed Brewery for the raid, I needed gacha hunters but I was having a difficult time getting friends to accept my requests. I can't pull one myself since the rates were horrible back then (V1).

Then some kind user linked this guide on this wiki (2 million thanks to whoever you are!  Sorry I forgot). I read it and was enlightened. It gave me new hope. Frau just happened to be on sale at the ring exchange back then. I haven't bought her as I was not sold on her abilities. But when I read how important she was, immediately spent 350 rings (no Challenge Recruit yet) to MLB her. Never looked back.

It still needs some good micro-management depending on the raid and the party you have, but for the most part, getting to level 80 (where the 2nd guaranteed copy is) has been relatively easy. So don't lose hope. There is always a way. You just haven't found them yet. But you did good by asking. :)
