Stat requirements for ED3

[trebar]

I'm trying to beat tournament six so that I can start in on ED3. I have 5/5 ED1, currently 3/5 on ED2 (though will be 4/5 at end of this run). However, T6 just seems so far out of my league that it doesn't seem feasible to finish, so I was hoping to get some input about what might be missing.

Things I'm missing: I have 2 advanced magics from my last run, water and wind, but am missing the other 2. I do NOT have wand to bonus level 5 yet; I made the mistake of going for the commander's flag to 5 first, so wand is still at 4. I currently have all the inspiration upgrades, and 700 purchases of the "status up" instant action. The elemental dragons are maxed, as are all of the "+ stats" party members other than Lesser Wyvern (currently at +37.2%) and Brutal Right Arm (still at 25%).

In my current run, I've been building up satiety to get the 3rd auto eat slot, so gluttony effect is high. (~1000% attack since I"m using mercenary title this run for better inspiration gains). Overall, my attack was around 600k, and I was barely doing 5% of her hp before she took me down. What am I missing? Is it really just a massive grind for stats? What do I need to be aiming for?

The final boss of ED4 is way, way, way stronger than T6. Better fokus on ED3 first.

My apologies, that was a typo in the title. The post itself is about ED3, not ED4; I have corrected the title accordingly. What kind of stats do I need to beat T6?

I am up to 1000 levels of "status up" and gluttony is up to 1700%, and I'm still not even close.

I honestly can't remember. How ever, try to get the Wand up to +5. If I recall correctly, the ultimate spells have the same speed as she has. You will either have to push the guardian unit that increases your attack speed or try an other spell with AoE.

AoE Stacking is your best bet now to beat her.

Oh have you finished desert? And try rather MAtk than atk. its easier.

I had the same problem, but recently beat T6 finally. So I also had roughly 1700 ATK before leaving Town... but it was not enough... I needed to reincarnate and eat all I could for days in real life to finally beat T6. I needed something line 8x10e9 Hp and Atk, and massive boosts from the other party members (even if they dont fight)... and the Mercenarry party formation for that extra ATK... basically, HP and DEF are useless... I never manged to survive a single hit... so needed to kill her also in 1 hit...
The good thing is, that afterwards I could open new areas inn the Desert, and became even stronger, and could even unlock ED4 requirements of 12000 Destiny... but I likely still need to grind a lot before trying ED3-2 again...

1700 attack... oof. I definitely see the appeal of running it with MAtk as it sounds like it will be much simpler. I did warrior this run because it was originally intended to be an inspiration/gluttony run. Guess I'll work on T6 in the next round as a wizard.

At the point of ED3 you usually already have class inheritance and all titles unlocked, so the class you choose is usually way less relevant, since the tiny stat bonuses usually are rather small compared to your other additive bonuses like the status ups you can buy with inspiration.
Though going for magic attack is surely good, since Iari is fire, so with the aqua blast from the desert with magical formation and maybe even a wand+5 equipped for another AOE might simply one shot him with enough gluttony.
