You can nearly kill Insane purple Binah in one Swimsuit Mika EX skill use. It's definitely all three Torment clears at the minimum to get plat this time fellows.

Have fun crit malding with maid Arisu as well, you're going to enjoy it.

Just did a mock battle and the sheer ass-raping power of S.Mika is unbelievable. I have a buddy in the club with an invested S.Nagi while I invested fully into S.Mika and goddamn the two of them alone make Binah seem like a complete joke.

Does any of the banners worth it?

Meta-wise? Just regular Nagi. Her and Toki are limited so if you want them this is your only chance for a while to get them. Toki is also strong but got powercrept. Still, it's the autistic meido. Your call.

If you REALLY need some sort of red AOE for say, Gregorius, and you haven't been spooked by Minori yet, then you should pull for Nagi. Or alternatively you can just keep borrowing her from your club or friends.

Sometimes they make Toki's mech suit gimmick useful in JFDs but otherwise she's fully powercrept by other red DPS students, even her bunny suit alt does better damage.

Just keep savin' up for now.
 
I give up. I am not spending 5 -7x more pyros on raising Pajanoa just to simply clear Insane Hover for gold. The bright side I finally realized how to beat it, the downside is lacking fire power to do so.

As for global, IIRC S.Mika + S.Nagi is such a strong combo that you can even use them to beat blue content and dismantle Insane Yesod easily for starters. As for normal Nagisa, she is great for stripping for Kaiten shields, accompanying red teams as on demand AOE, sub healer and buffer. She is also decent in PvP too.

Put some points on S-Nagisa. her buff is really strong, especially on S-Mika.

Don't forget S.Seia! Sure, you can replace her with Kisaki since she's literally just striker Kisaki, however it doesn't change the fact that S.Mika, S.Nagi and S.Seia have the most ridiculous synergy between clubmates in the game.
 
Finally won Extreme difficulty mode. I did have to use most of my resources to create a team for each defence type (even updated to unlock their weapon), but it was fairly straightforward buffing and chipping away. Swimsuit Shiroko really paid dividends. Tried the later difficulty but my buffers were annhilated once I got to the second location.
 
One thing I wanted to talk about but I always keep forgetting is the completely missed opportunity they had with Millennium's weaponry. Each larger school has a gimmick in weaponry and while it's never followed 100% (except for Red Winter, so far every single student of theirs still uses exclusively Russian, Soviet or Warsaw Pact weapons) when you think Trinity, you think Bri'ish guns, when you think Gehenna, you think German Guns etc. Hell even the SRT girls have their own gimmicks, with RABBIT squad's being Finnish WWII weapons and FOX squad's being American spec ops during the Iraq War. Hell, even Highlander has kind of a gimmick of using revolvers, lever-actions and other old-timey guns.

Millennium's could've been futuristic-looking guns, instead it's pretty much just modern NATO weaponry which is a bit too generic of a theme. I got reminded of this because they're running Toki's banner currently and her G11 is a perfect example of the kind of guns Millennium students should be toting. The fact that there's not a single Millennium student with guns that are considered futuristic-looking in popular culture like the AUG, P90 or F2000 is borderline criminal.

EDIT: I will give them one thing, the fact that they made Akane's Welrod and Karin's Boys look futuristic as fuck despite them being WWII weapons is very impressive.

granted even if the designs are semi-old, the idea that they've given their own modifications to the guns does kinda fit millenium, the duality of yuuka/neru is a peak example of this

Congrats! Yeah this was my first extreme too, I think (IIRC, maybe.)

Purple was the easiest - I was able to beat Extreme Binah in a single battle with 45 seconds left.
I borrowed S. Mika since my S.Mika isn't built up yet (I have all three swimsuit tea party members), but my team was S.Mika, S.Nagisa, S.Seia, Kisaki, Aoba and Momiji.

S.Nagisa only had the first level of gear, unleveled currently, and yet she, Kisaki, and Seia's buffs on my borrowed S.Mika allowed her to just singlehandedly carry me.

TL DR: Gorilla go splish-splash.

Decided to to give purple Insane a try and i actually cleared it. Also cleared blue Extreme.

Good job. The jump in difficulty between Hardcore and Extreme is way bigger than between Insane and Extreme. Sadly I sunk too many resources to buff my damage dealers so I probably don't have enough defence to do Insane.

While weapon lore is nice, I think the halos are a more defining feature for characters than guns.

Especially for Millennium as most of the (mob) students are far more interested in whatever their club is specialized in and going beyond minimum (budgetary) requirements for their guns. While the none mob named students have taken the opposite approach in selecting and specializing their guns to their individualistic needs and wants. Hence no real weapon theme amongst the named students.
