Venthyr Command Table Soul Ash Missions?

Question

Ok so, the missions scale with adventurer level, so it is impossible out level them. At the same time, even with all my top adventurers, Venthyr soul ash missions are flat out impossible to do - enemies have literally 5 times the health of my team, and around the same attack power (not to mention the "weather" condition, i.e. the stacking dot). My team gets nuked from orbit in no time. Am I missing something here?

One of these days I'll start winning my command table missions. I assume around the time of the next expansion release.

I think I was able to kill one enemy in my soul ash mission

I can't speak for Venthyr (I've heard their companions are significantly worse) but something I've noticed are some rather unintuitive facts which may help:

Generally

  • Healing is worse than you might think; it does very little compared to the massive incoming damage on this mission (the best defense is a good offense; dead opponents do no damage)
  • The troops are significantly stronger than the companions in most cases. My winning teams use 1-2 companions with the rest troops
  • Enemy debuffs (damage reduction, cast time reduction) are very strong
  • AoE damage effects which hit the most possible enemies are very strong
  • Buffs which affect your whole team or most of it are very strong
  • Positioning matters a great deal; your front line and the left two spots in particular will get absolutely hammered (put guys with the most health and defensives here)

It took me several different strategies to win and the ones that did were not intuitive to me. By pure numbers I was still massively outclassed but combination of AoE plus damage buff does a ton.

There is no strategy for venthyr. It’s impossible
