You want to use Trish's TA buff on the first Hime slot if it's not Take. If it's Take, you TA buff Sol. On turn 2 you use Michael's burst buff and Shingen's Encourage Inspiration buff so that you can then push the Thunder Ult into stun on turn 3 (3T burst). You can then move to a 4T burst cycle (burst on turn 4) for the rest of the combat as you get the free stun round and solo kill the Ult. Provisional Forest in used on the second full burst, if available and needed, but never on the first. For me it almost never gets activated as it slows the team down too much.
Sorry for another necro, but I'm still returning to this and especially position Mike should be on. Granted, I don't have Tish nor Shingen, so my burst aren't that fast, but still the general logic should be the same. So the question is - why is Mike on last spot, instead of first (outside of Take scenario)? While my initial thought was to indeed have Mike on last spot - so that the +20 BG from her burst doesn't get wasted, but giving it some second thought - in general it should not.

If Mike is on first Hime position, it allows you to FB when second hime is at 60%. This allows us to land a first FB faster. Now, if Mike is last, she instantly provides +20 to all characters for the next burst... But if she is in front of them, they don't need the immediate +20, as they will just get it during FB from Mike bursting before them. Finally, Mike also has a built-in double attack, which may sometimes save the FB, should the TA from Tish not proc...

One scenario where I could see the benefit of having her on last spot is if you are afraid she will die. That way, the +20 BG from her burst is already on other characters and will not be lost. It would also make more difference in some abstract scenario, where she would solo burst between FBs. At last spot she only needs 60%, she already gets 20% from her burst, maybe you also have some +BG abilities ready, so refilling for FB would not be out of question, but the odds are that by the time Mike is ready for her solo burst, some other hime is at 100% already, so you can't burst anyway.

So, TL;DR; - I see Michael on last spot in a lot of comments / screenshots. What am I missing here, that makes people chose this instead of placing her first?
