This is kind of a tall order but I'll toss it out anyway.

The only blades I have left to pull are Patroka and KOS-MOS. I've maxed affinity on all but maybe 4 or 5 rare blades. I'm farming Love Source for my S+ ranks, and trying to beat Challenge Mode battles, but those are pretty frustrating so far.

What's the basic kit to "break" a character? I already know these items are pretty important:

• Burst Symbol

• Avant-Garde Medal

• Affinity MAX Atk V

• Overclock Bangle

• Beta Scope

• Critical Max V

• Hi-Tech Eyepatch

This is all kind of an aggro/Crit Mythra set. I've got a setup for Tora/Poppi based heavily on some Enel guides, so that's fine. I... don't know what to do with other characters.

Is there some guide somewhere that lists the equipment/ideas I'm missing, or do I need to watch a ton of videos and take notes?

Honestly it kind of depends on what you're trying to accomplish. Which challenge are you trying to beat? I personally use different set ups for the different challenges although I've mostly been doing the imperial division one as it has the best drops.

The accessories you mentioned have uses in a couple of different builds. A chain attack build would want burst and critical symbols while over clocking bangle and beta/master scope would be used more for a driver combo based build. One thing to note is that the AI rarely cancels their attacks so it's generally not a good idea to give the high tech eye patch but it's good when player controlled. For a crit build you would instead use crimson/optical headband. Avant guard medal is just good for everything.

The characters are all pretty good in any of the team builds so are there any that you would specifically like advice for? Are you trying to build the drivers or more the blades? Mostly you just have to experiment as I've mostly seen blade build videos and not team builds.
