Gentlemen, I present to you: L'Intrépide, and the stupidity of AL players.
Yeah, huh, we are never getting another bodytype other that "tits&ass", and forget anybody's dream for a chocolate waifu, let alone the new latin faction having an actual latina girl, you know they'd get flooded with hate comments.

What a way to out yoursefl as a virgin that never touched a girl, because guess what, if you want chest and thighs of that size irl you will get the rest of L'Intrépide bodytype as well, nevermind the fact that this is still a perfectly healthy chubbiness.
And the most upsetting part is that you KNOW that if she had the same chest size, the same butt size, the same thick thigs, but just less tummy, all these comments would just be "Awooga, sit on me".
Proof? All the other recent shipgirl (including new PRs) with even much bigger busts and ass than her but flat stomach, not getting a single comment like this, this... dogshit.

And I get it, you don't have to like every bodytype, I myself prefer more slim/athletic figures, but ffs if you have to be a crass bigot about it then keep your comments to yourself.
Sorry for the rant, but this is ridiculous and she does not deserve it.

I know everybody was thinking it, and I'm positive it was 100% intentional, but I only know BA from the memes and still even I got that reference.

Thank goodness the cumulative rewards become worthless after some point, because this is insanely tedious. Dreadwrought Residue being converted into points at a 1% ratio is bs, one run I had 180k points thanks to finding the "double residue from chests" blessing and that's still only 1800 points, LESS than just the base points for clearing.

Is the best strategy really just clear as fast as possible and ignoring residue, or is there something i'm missing? Because aside from possible lucky Dreadwrought coins from chests for free points, i don't see how going after every chest and elite is remotely worthwhile.

Now that I can replace Lucetta with the "Lucetta-at-home" accessory, I have been looking for ways to optimize my DK setup further; thing is, however, I can't really figure how to "improve" this team that much since it's already set up in a way where any change would pretty much make me lose as much as gain (Aviete being the possibly main exception, but I'll get to that later). I have done the math on all the relevant buffs and debuffs, maybe someone can spot something that can be improved? (and how to improve it, that's the main concern).

(Acronym list, if needed, to make the rest a bit shorter):
PA = Physical Attack; SD/PD = Sword/Physical Damage; D.Lim = Damage Limit; P.Res/ S.Res = Physical/Sword Resistance (Debuffs) ; P.Def = Physical Defense (Debuff); C.Dmg = Crit Damage.

Buffs/Debuffs by Character:
- DK
Passive: PA 30%, SD 30%, D.Lim 10+20+100k; Active: PA+SD limit to 50%, PA 20%, SD 20%, D.Lim 100k, Potency 100%; Equip: D.Lim 100k+100k, SD 30% (plus PA 10% & SD 10% from partner)
- Mydia
Passive: (only at full HP, but you'll see it does not matter)*, PA 15%, D.Lim 20k; Active: PD 15%, PA 15%; Ult: PA 20%, PD 20%
-Signa
Active: S.Res -15%, P.Res -15% (this one could be removed, more on it later)**; Ult: P.Def -30%; Equipment: P.Def -15% (Start of Battle)
- DP
Active: P.Def limit to -50%, P.Def -15% + -15%; Ultimate: (you know it)
- Shana
Shana. Also D.Lim 20k.
- Tiziano
Passive: (only when in front row) D.Lim 30k; Active: P.Def -10%, PA 20%, C.Dmg 15%, Dead Aim; (potentially also extra 15% PA, C.Dmg 15%, D.Lim 20k)***
- Rique
Passive: Passive/Equipment PA limit to 50%, PA 15% + 10%, D.Lim 20k + 20k; Active: PA 15%, ""damage"" 15% (I have alsway assumed this is the same as SD/PD)

Buffs/Debuffs by type:
-PA
Passive: 30+(15)*+15+10=70/50%; Active: 20+15+20+(15)***+15= 85/50%; Ult: 20%; Equip: 10%.
Obviously Passive and Active go way past the limit, however no buff just gives PA so there's nothing really to optimize there.
- PD/SD
Passive: 30%; Active: 20+15+15= 50/50%; Ult: 20%; Equip: 30+10= 40/30% (this could be improved? See more later)
-C.Dmg
Active: 15+(15)*** = 30%, plus Dead Aim
- D.Lim:
100+100+100+100+10+20+20+20+20+(20)*+(20)***+30= 530-570k (plus verses)
- P.Def:
Active: 15+15+10= 40/50%; Ult: 30%; Equip: 10%
- S/P.Res
Active: 15+(15)***=30%

Finally, Akala and Chomper pet buffs. All buffs are to be considered active on DK by T4, the dps turn.

As you can see, most active buffs/debuffs are basically capped already, with the main issues coming instead from relevant Passive debuffs (none), and accessory effects in general: I'm currently using Heroic Warrior's Emblem on DK for the 30% SD, but this is the flexible slot which is why his partner also has Trish A4 for the emergency 10%, as well as Madeleine A4 for 10% PA; I also have Nicola A4 on Signa for the first 3-4 turns of -10% P.Def (with Hasumi/EXHaanit A4).
I don't have or don't know other accessory I could use (Joshua is there, but i do not have Joshua -_-)

For replacing Lucetta, I could currently move Signa behind DK and give up on her countdown skill (**), which could also mean Tiziano could act one more time with an extra buff (***) (I could do this even if I don't move Signa).
Other potential replacements for a while included Sarisa (yes) to compensate the 15% S/P.Res from Signa as well as an additional Passive PA 15% (useless) and damage against broken foes 15% (rarely useful); otherwise now Aviete is the current candidate to put behind Tiziano, providing D.Lim 50k+50k (passive and Ult), Passive PA 10% (unnecessary), Active PA 15% (unnecessary), Ult PA 20% (caps with Mydia's 20% at 30%), as well as obviously Divine Beast buff; so basically Ult PA 10%, Divine Beats Dmg 10% (or 20? does it stack if double-cast?), and some more D.Lim at the cost of that S/P.Res -15% from Signa (is it mathematically worth it?).
I do have MolrussoEX but she literally does nothing additional for this setup (unless the enemy has zero elemental weaknesses, of course) other than some damage cap... which my DK already has over +500k without even having any on his weapon, and I'd rather consistently hit 15x630k than adding some cap I might not reach.
Who else could I consider swapping in/out/around?

I should also mention that while this team has mostly optimized turn-action usage, DP+Rique do have a dead turn on T2 since DP needs to wait one extra BP to charge her Ult and Rique only acts once on T4 during DP's backsurge.

So, if you got past the wall of text and numbers, any ideas?
