Turns out this fight can be pretty tough despite all the auto-buffs if you're low levelled and lack the proper elements to kill the heads quickly.
So for this fight you get all five previous buffs combined - 25% buff, 25% HP regeneration, 33% MP regeneration, 50% endure, and auto ailment cure each turn. While that's an insane amount of autobuffs, the opposition is no slouch either - for the first phase, you face all five elemental heads from before in a single battle, and with the Earth Buff buffing the entire opposition, their attacks can quickly reach one-shot territory and your 50% endure can be potentially tested a lot. Afterwards you have to fight Yamata-no-Orochi through three phases, each one being fairly resistant to all elements save one, and has a relatively large 16m HP to blow through per phase. Each phase takes a long time to start up with a Concentrate into barrage of Karmic Gnashing combo which isn't too hard to survive with a sturdy and evasive tank, but once it's done with that it can start buffing itself up with World Shaking Military Rule and it has a rather large pile of stats for this point of the game, especially its SPD which sits at 8000, so if you don't have the damage needed to get through the phases quickly you're probably going to run into some trouble.
Since my team has Marisa in it she can fire off consecutive Master Sparks thanks to the auto MP regeneration (though for some reason it failed to fire off for one turn), which lets me clear the board on first phase very quickly. However, my team didn't have great DRK attacks and especially was lacking on good SPI attacks, which caused me a lot of trouble on the last two phases. Eventually I realized that Marisa could still damage those phases effectively thanks to Sheer Force, and took Oracle on Rumia as well to help clear the buffs from World Shaking Military Rule which helped a lot as well.
Oh yeah, apparently when Instant Attack activates the MP regeneration doesn't happen. It's super annoying.
The second part of the fight features your Holy Blessing character (or some random character if you didn't have Holy Blessing on anyone) get automatically moved to slot 1 and gain huge defense bonus (and I think damage bonus? but the defense bonus is the real notable part), so it's pretty much just free fight unless you switch that character out for some reason.
