When ever the defense gets down to 0 stamina it seems they have over a 50% chance to get their special, which makes Frostbites and others main moves useless.

Please don't tell me that its only 5-10 % chance, if it is i must be the unluckiest person in this game ever.

I have started using Mystery and she seems to out speed Thetys with the same runes and rank so I can hit her with the single stamina drain that she has and then use one of my other monsters to take out Thetys before she gets a chance to hit my team. It works most of the time. Not always, but it has been a good option for hitting someone with stamina drain.

In order to avoid that I use Violet loaded with team speeds. She often gets to go at third after their denier. I have her do her AOE possession and that way if they get their special with no stamina, they use it against themselves. It doesn't always work.

Lastly, without going through the motions of actually tracking the likelihood of the special coming up, I would not say that I thought it was higher than expected. I think it is just frustrating to watch. This is one reason to freeze or possess or something else. Theyt's benefit has always been the lack of defense against her attack and her 100% chance of hitting.
