I don't believe comrades from last event count.

Two Slices and Three Flurries seem to be the good setup, as Pounds don't deal much damage, can't set up combos, often don't fill the Burst gauge much without a skill that hits multiple times per activation (for example, Penthesileia, Mordred, Luis has Rush skills that hit several times per proc), and debuffs don't work on enemies this time around.

Team ATK and DEF buffs are solid choices for Passives, and Gawain (Christmas)'s DEF buff and HoT (heal over time) is godly in this event. Grimalkin (Festival) and Ivan also have decent HoT buffs, but Grimalkin doesn't have an as high proc rates nor a secondary buff like Gawain's. Ivan has 30%, so it's comparable to Gawain's 30%, but also no secondary buff either.

Passives that boost HP, such as Daire (Track), Altarib, and Inugami seem to be awesome as well, as that combined with a HoT buff will last you a good several rounds with increased longevity and less need to use AP to re-join battles.

In general, Rush>Multi in use for this event.
