My Kraken team is

Lightning - Lifesiphonx10, Thundering Quadstrikex8 (USB, Glint)
Rydia - Tritochx5, Ixionx6 (USB)
Edgar - Tempest Snipex6, Tempest Offerx4 (USB)
Minwu - Curadax12, Protectgax6 (USB)
Sarah - Ultra Curex10, Regenga Songx2 (USB)

Magicite - Hydra Main, Bismarck for Water Resist, 3x Stat Sticks (I didn't farm 3* Lightning magicite at all beyond 4x Hydra so I don't use anything useful here)

All of these characters are fully dived and I have the LMRs for Minwu (both), Lightning and Rydia

To open the fight I have Lightning Lifesiphon the tentacles to avoid counters as the damage can get ugly to start since all the buffs take a bit to put up, and Lifesiphon does no damage anyway. Between the regenga song, Minwu's healing ultra, and two healers, I'm not really in any danger of getting killed beyond the early part and the very late part, as two healers with dualcast + high regen can generally hold off Kraken's damage without needing to waste Ultras. I have increased meter gain on Minwu-- ideally for the later parts of the fight he's got 3x Ultras to drop. I always use the ultra after a defense ignoring AOE.

Savage Leg and Savage Waterga just don't do as much as something like Marilith's Savage Firaga so it's kinda low stress and actually a pretty reliable kill. Even when Lightning or Edgar get stopped it just delays the kill a bit. Thing is without stops I generally kill the guy at around 45-50s so a stop hitting will put me into the high 50s.

So yeah I dunno. I guess the useful thing to get out of that is:

- Possibly run two healers if you're not. Possibly consider diving a healer despite that being taboo to some for a dualcast (Minwu is actually a terrible dive but I like him)
- High Regeneration is more useful than you'd think
- Run increased meter gain on your healer with the instacast healing ultra and don't get too trigger happy with it-- Kraken's early phase damage is actually kinda low as long as you're staying topped off. Even if you just face tank the counters. As long as your HP is above like 4000 or so he's not a risk since he doesn't doublecast the savage stuff as often as others early and it doesn't hurt as much-- and his standard waterga is piddly damage so he wastes turns.

No problem!
