T8 Towers; how DF does it/should do it

[xnonamex]

My only concern is when to trigger the AOE towers during the third phase to avoid eating damage during AF.

Back in the days when Eco was not a thing in SCoB and ppl weren't overgeared we were still able to adlo+stoneskin the person with the buff and he could eat the AOE and not wipe the party when blowing up. I would imagine that today it is even more possible.
