When you're doing 97 sorties for E1 last dance, there's a higher chance something is wrong with your fleet and not RNG. E1 is an absolute joke, and last dance raises the hurdle by just a little.

And it's not confirmed that there isn't a debuff mechanic yet. It's mentioned on wikiwiki that the argument that number of miniboss kills at node I is currently considered pretty reliable, and based on last event, there can be a notable change even if SS Hime's graphics don't change (which I experienced myself personally since I couldn't be bothered to go 100% for the armor debuff).
