[Someone to Protect] Bonus Battles Discussion Thread

Looking for some opinions and help with my team composition for Ultimate Beatrix. This is what I currently have: For Gilgamesh I'm planning on giving him Minus Strike and having Y'shtola cast Reflect on him, I will not heal him to make sure that Holy always targets him and thanks to Retaliate and the fact that Shock only targets the highest %HP character, he should be safe; Steiner is there to fulfill requirements and DPS, I'm hoping that 6* dagger is enough to make Banishing Raid do good damage; I chose to use Tyro as a Ninja instead of Yuffie since he has more HP and I have his Healing Grimoire SB, with 1 bar from Dr. Mogs teachings he should be able to build another bar to use it, his MND is really quite low but I'm hoping that the SB being Curaja level makes it significant; as for my white mages I went with Y'shtola (because Wall) and Eiko (because synergy), I'm unsure about their abilities... Are 2 heals overkill? Should I make a spot for Diaga to increase DPS? Is Renewing Cure enough or should I really have Memento of Prayer for Regen purposes (perhaps a 2nd Renewing Cure)? I also gave Eiko a Mystery Veil for the shared AoE Cure, but I'm concerned that it doesn't give enough DEF, she only has 130DEF compared to everyone else who is 200 or above... Should I give her the Candle Rod instead, thus making her heal for less but have more survivability? Or can she survive as she is? And what are the best RM for her, Gilgamesh and Rusty? For a RW I'm planing on taking Emerald Light and casting it after the first Climhazzard for healing and Hastaga. (And I just know realized that might screw up my Gilgamesh plan.... guess I might make him drop Retaliate for a bit and hit him with Steiner???)

My main concern is DPS, I usually run a mage team were everyone contributes to doing damage, but in this team there are only 3 characters doing damage, and I don't even have any Boostga... Also realized that the Gilgamesh plan might not work that well, perhaps I should substitute him with Amarant for Shell+Heavy Regen and tank Holy (although Amarant probably would also hurt my DPS)?

So, what do you think? People were saying Godo has one of the easiest Ultimates and I found him quite hard, so I'm a bit scared of Beatrix... And I definitely don't want to wast Orbs crafting/honing Minus Strike and Banishing Raid if this is not a good strategy. I know you can cheese Beatrix with Retaliate, but I'm leaving that for plan B as it doesn't sound as fun, and Beatrix is one of my favorite characters so I'm looking for a fair and epic fight.

Thanks in advance for any help!
