Sorry for the late reply!

Ideally, you would only have spirits that will help you in the battle, in this case i recommend S Ranked healers, things like ishen, kotori, etc. You can also search for shielders like Fey. You do not have to remove your friends with other spirits if you do not wish to, but I have seen many posting about how they got burned when unhelpful spirits showed up in the boss battle even though they only had like 1/2 unhelpful spirits.

So my recommendation is that if you want to add the friend back after the strat, taking down their igns before removing them is an easy solution. You do not need to have a maxed out friend list, as long as you have around 10-15 friends, i think you should be safe from 'phantom' friends.

Good luck, hope this clarifies things.
