Team 1 - Ring Sang/N Faust/Peqoud Heath/Captain Ish/REAP Ryoshu/Ring Outis

Ring Twins can build bleed count, Peqoud Heath can also assist slightly. Access to Sunshower and Blind Obsession for Pecca Trio. Try to maintain bleed count on Dwayne Peccatulum to chew threw him faster, replace skill 1s with defense skills to offset his guard. Off setting his resistance is more valuable than any skill 1s damage can provide.

Most importantly Peqoud Heath Resist all of 500 Cigarettes attacks, on turns where he is full targetted just let him eat absolutely all of the damage so he builds damage off his passive and bash all your attacks into the body.

Team 2 - Lantern Yi Sang/KKW Heathcliff/KKW Ishmael/Manager Don/LaMancha Rodion/KKW Ryoshu/LaMancha Gregor in Slot #7

Grab "E.G.O.s Do 30% More" ASAP. Yearning Mircalla as always is a hard carry through Fodder Fights, and the main answer to the first fight.

In the 2nd fight to save a little on EGO Resources. counter with Lantern, Even better if enemy EGO resources are low. All attacks should get rammed into Lantern the following turn, let them and only do unopposed one sided attacks to clear the enemy after they've killed Lantern.

Clean up and have LaMancha Gregor on board going into Der Shotty.

During Der Shotty build Bleed Count with KKs in tandem with Sanguine Desire blocking the bleed coint from lowering, importantly Ink Over still works but will not consume bleed coint if Sanguine Desire is in effect.

Set up bursting Der Shotty from +70% to his stagger threshold. If you burst him into Stagger he will never enter his 2nd phase and summon G Corp Jobbers as shields. From here pop Solemn Lament on Gregor to finish him off.

Take Lone Gunman for the Der Shotty Buff, not % Damage for Bleedfeast Consumed.

Team 3 - Manager Don #1 Slot for Lone Gunman. Ring Sang/KKW Heath/KKW Ishmael/KKW Ryoshu/LaMancha Rodion. a 7th of your pick in case Ryoshu dies, however if anyone else dies it can be a major damage loss.

Dulcinea use Yearning to Stagger her jobbers, if they die to it and lower her protection even better but the aim to is to mainly ignore them. Keep Sanguine Desire effects on Dulci until you have bleedcount at a comfortably high amount and aim to deal the bulk of your damage through bleed. You don't need to waste time going through every wave of Fiend Jobbers.

Take Lust Skills do 30% More, Final Boss is weaker to Lust.

LaMancha Peccas - At this point you can have EGOs do 30% More, Lust Does 30% More, and Sinners do 10% More. Yearning Mircalla shreds this encounter, should be doable in 2 turns if not for Priest Gregor stalling out for a turn.

LaMancha Trio - Where Lone Gunman sees a lot of value, blast Barber with La Sangre de Sancho Empowered Skill 3. Throw in some Yearning Mircallas or Contempt, Awe with Lust chains. Very brute forceable and again Priest stalls us a turn.

Take Final Boss is weaker to all physical damage types.

Four Hundred Roses - At this point Manager Don packs 2 skill 3s and an absurdly boosted Yearning Mircalla. Blast the head with Empowered 3, replace Skill 1s with AoE EGOs to hit the Head and Body. This is the final fight USE YOUR EGO RESOURCES. Sanguine Desire to maintain bleed stacks. Throw everything at it.

Lust skills should be

+30% To All Lust, 10% to All Sinners, 30% from boss being weak to all physical.

Stagger lock him and deny him any bleed for fragility.

I've seen people have success with Poise teams in Part 1, getting turn counts down to 20 somewhat consistently. Do you think that'd work with your setup to shave an extra 4 turns, or would that clash too much with the buffs you need to pick to do Part 2 and 3 that quickly?

short answer is yes. i have a sc of a slightly ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ poise squad making it thru in 20. sub 50 should absolutely be possible, frankly im expecting the sub 40s to start coming outta the woodwork soon if they havent already.

Well the lowest record I've seen so far is 31 so you're right on the money here
