I changed the strategy so that the conditional Pass turn happens while your Fel Flame is active, instead of the Starlette. This means the Iron Starlette never needs to take an additional hit from Chaos. It does introduce a new potential los condition, when DOTs crit Chaos twice while your Iron Starlette is out. If that happens after you passed for a round earlier, then Trike will be active when your Iron Starlette is using Supercharge. You'll then have a 50% chance of losing your turn when Trike uses Horn Attack. I decided this was the lesser of two evils, the other being passing while your Iron Starlette was out and getting killed by Chaos landing two crits with Logic and landing Instability. (edited)
