Star Strike explanation + Raisu is HARD

For 10 seconds, upon every successful hit by you or a party member a level 20 celestial attacker is called forth to attack foes (maximum of 6).
.....

(The number of minions controlled by any one party member is tied to the Death Magic Attribute.)
So...is that 6 minions MAX, or a maximum of 6 per person?

I'm mainly asking because the death-magic dependence becomes largely irrelevant if it's a maximum of 6 TOTAL: unless there are more than one or two sins in the party, it's basically a minion each (I'm usually using muppets...I mean, Henchies, and so even casters can be relied on to merrily wand away at things).

Conversely, if it's six per person, it'd be very tempting to go A/N and stick a few points into death magic and pray that lukas and devona can time their swordstorm spamming correctly...but then that would require me to drop my /R secondary, which (thanks to BHA) is the only thing keeping the elementalists from destroying everyone with sliver armour.

Daeman and Vasburg clearly didn't go to interrupt college, as far as I can tell.


So, yeah: potentially 6 minions each, or 1 each until 6 total?


Also, any tips and tricks for getting through the palace as an "A/anything" would be much appreciated (and yes, by this point I know I'm not a tank).
