After playing around with this strategy a bit more, I found 2 variations. First variation - Ochette Draefendi's Ochette (Warrior) - Graceful Step, Boost Start, Deal More Damage, Peak Performance Nuts: none Weapons: Battle-Tested Blade, Battle-Tested Bow Equipment: Protector's Shield, Royal Guard's Helm, Butler's Tailcoat, Champion's Belt x2 She needs >795 crit here, but she shouldn't need nuts to get there. Strategy change - instead of using Aeber's with Ochette on turn 3, use Draefendi's instead, it does more damage (and is cooler). Second variation - 500k Limb from Limb Make sure hikari does not have the Thunder's Roar equipped (any other spear will do) On turn 3, don't boost the Hienka, and use Limb from Limb at max boost instead of Windswept Slash in the bonus turn. It should deal close to 500k damage.
