My favorite by far is 'change allies element'. Having the correct element of the day is an auto 50% bonus to ATK and SPD. If the enemy is weak against you, an extra 50% damage taken (on top of the previous bonus applied to ATK).

Other favorites are 150% damage on first strike, 30% extra ATK to all allies, reduce initial damage to 1 point.

I have never relied on counter attacks or damage reduction. It's best to stack on attack multipliers. The best defense in this game is called "Looming Disaster".
