I'm not sure I consider it stalling per se as much as condensing your damage. You play the fight normally but just don't party doom until you've built a bit of bar with everyone and gotten start of fight buffing out of the way so you get a bit of jump start on the pace of your damage flow. Like, you can fire the party doom at about 10s in and you're now playing with a sub 40 instead of a sub 30. To put it in perspective I only ever see Madeen's aoe Dispel on turn 11 of her first phase if I screwed up on timings and got really unlucky with imperils/dual casts, and that's casting CoD's doom break at more like 15s than 10s and considering that Madeen has a 0.01s attack so it's basically hitting at turn 10 thinking in terms of Lakshmi. Now Lakshmi you basically want to get out before turn 9 rather than 10, but yeah, it really shouldn't be impossible to do that even showing a little restraint on your party doom. Particularly since she helps you and puts doom on two of your guys for you.

You have multiple slots so in theory you can potentially have an acceptable alternative move to use before you need to exploit having doom. Like... put damage RMs on Cloud and Riku, launch the aoe doom + Garland Chain just before they fire off their USBs, and it'd probably be workable. *Shrug
