📝 Notes
Homu
DSA: QTE ON
Sena's sequence is QTE, Wep, Basic, Evade + Basic, -pause-, Ult

Hephaestus
LV: 73 Lightning DMG
78+ Lightning DMG can save 1 more second
5 slashes for LV in P1 and 9 slashes in P2 (if enough damage, 8 slashes can save 1s or more)
Delay using SST's off field QTE for as long as possible to maximize damage
For transition, after CE switches in use wep and wait until she starts putting her foot down before mashing basics so that you can time the dodge at the second oil bottle and do 1 basic after to realign, then back to LV; you need CE to have full meter before she swaps out here, but you also need to be fast enough for LV to get the evade off Heph's slam
After LV evade, move toward the bottom left barrel, then use wep toward Heph
Note the ELF usage directly after SST Ult

Epernay
SI: QTE OFF
This strat is possible if you get enough damage via some combination of ranks on HRB, JDS, and 4* PB, the strat minimally requires S2 HRB for SP
P1
Relatively self-explanatory, you're looking to get the HRB evade directly into joint combo, then Ult
When swapping in SI, do 1 basic before her Ult to move forward
After SI's Ult, mash wep, when she begins her hand motion, you can start mashing JDS QTE (you can use this trick in P2 as well)
After JDS' Ult, do basic, then jump + slam 4 times into weapon
Transition
Right after the wep, hold right, then it's evade, jump, evade, jump, slam, evade (I evade left for this last one, just make sure you hold right up until then), note that you can buffer the first evade by tapping evade once during the wep animation
P2
After the last evade, CA x3 (you should have full meter here) then wep
HRB QTE, joint combo, into evade + basic (you can buffer the evade by tapping once during her joint combo animation
When switching in SI, I perform 1 basic before using Ult (make sure you use ELF before you Ult here for HRB to come back); the 1 basic keeps the combo count from resetting, which was an issue for me (but other people seem to be able to keep combo without this, so ymmv)
Again, make sure you wait until the cross drop animation before mashing HRB QTE (same as in P1)
From here, you're home free with everything being bufferable/mashable
