Not necessarily; for a debuff deck, usually a debuffer is paired with a healer. I think. Don't quote me on that, but many debuff decks I've seen involve a debuffer and a healer to keep the health up. Debuffs won't help if you're dead.

By the way, you probably will get AW fielded (and your debuffs will disappear) if you use either ED's self-buff or Asherah's AoE buff. So use those when you think you're in the clear. It might also help to max the attack on ED, althoug it's understandable if you can't.
