There are actually 2 factors leading to high first strike damage:
 * 1) Attribute weakness, like you just said (up to 300% of original)
 * 2) "Morale x2 & Life Hack" from the center - all enemies have 2x attack and defense until the center is defeated. Therefore the duck probably struck you with 6914 damage at least.

Multiply these together and you get an enemy with high first strike damage. Avoid putting fire members when fighting this stage.
