Thanks for your work on this guide, it's really interesting.

I have a few additional questions/remarks to it:

Do you have any formulas on how damage and damage prevention are calculated? Or what is your source for that?
Wouldn't that depend on the amount of ATK/DEF you have?

Which artifact(s) do you prefer in your port besides convoy carriage and thunder crystal?

Which artifact(s) are best used on my generals?

Assisting friends grants you 10 Kizuna for each. So you can get 200 additional Kizuna a day, which is especially great for beginners.
