you can attain high total power easily with a combination of rainbow knights and event golds, although its mostly meaningless to flaunt a high total power with random abilities not synergizing with each other (you also arent forced to use Squad #1 to sortie either).

Looks like I'll be spending money on flower gems tomorrow as we'll be getting a Do 10+1 Get a Ticket deal again, which we havent in a while. Even a few Justicia, Chocolate Cosmos, Toad Lily or Camellia dupes would be nice.
