Ya Morn Afah(400k damage at least so u need at least 2 10 percent damage reduction) was every 50 seconds with the third being 30 seconds so you could have sacred soil for every single one where with CU you could only have it up at most 3 times and also depends on party comp. And even before that during Bahamut, Soil could be used for every gigaflare and on heavensfall could be used for the fireball that preceded it. Sch's various mitigation tools won out against noct during that.

But I had a feeling that Astro was going to get adjusted. And during a question at the place where the live letter was taking place, the change mentioned when one of about noct astro vs sch. The problem here is that their way of trying to make Noct more useful always defaults to make shields better. We saw it in 3.07., 3.3, 3.4 and 4.0 and I suspect it would no different here.
