After much deck suffling - even a "only worked once" rainbow deck - I finally hit upon something that works consistently given what I have. I've run with these three times in a row now without even coming close to needing a helper, I survived dumb mistakes I made (used wrong skill, answered wrong answer) and even a bit of emblem trolling.

SS Isabeli Hays (2 Hippos) - SS Ruell (1 Hippo) - SS Riverta (2 Hippos) - SS Summer Riverta (1 Hippo) - S Coffy (2 Hippos)

Total DC of 201, but doable for 197 if you have more hippos. Through all my experimenting, I've learned some keys lessons: The first round can go very badly surprisingly quickly if you get emblem trolled. I ended up with only 1 fire panel buff, but use more if you can. To get past the solo baddie in round three with your life (or at least your dignity) you need to be able to kill it in two turns OR have a delayer charged. I have two delayers here because I wanted one for round 3 and one for the last round ready, but it turns out they can kill it quickly anyway. Still, the extra delayer saved my life when I got trolled. Ruell's shield saves lives against rages. For the first three rounds I don't target, but the last round I kill the two fire helpers first. They go down relatively quickly.

I went back and forth between using Coffy and Coco (heh, that's funny right there) for the last slot but the quickish embleming outweighed the correct answer SS and single shot damage. My Coco is also fully unlocked and I had a hard time letting go of an extra emblem buff and the allies ATK buff, but Coffy has saved my butt. I used George & Emilie (love them) for a while with intermittent success, but the high DC just hamstrung me too much, even though I have 201 DC.

I've cleared the over 10 times and have had ZERO drops, which is irritating me.
