it depends on what the "etc" are and more importantly what spheres you use. if you do not need to rely on friend lead, i would highly advise choosing from own inventory and putting the best dmg spheres, unless you have friend leads that have blighted / ultor blade / rev book with heaven bud. dun choose friends with sky harbingers, that does way less dmg than the above options.

typically you need Double crit leads (1 of which being Reis or Griff is useful to maintain SBB always even on 2 or less enemies, the other can be Kira/Dion/Zedus depending on team setup). a BBAtk buffer, a Spark dmg buffer, a Atk buffer, a ignore def buffer if you can afford it (for the round with metal ghosts), and finally a BB mgt unit (Zerafalgar works best with high drop checks, bc buff, bb regen buff). For you, since you mention no Zenia or Will, you need to find others who can take their place. I think Griff & Zedus leads, Dion / Vernil / Lava (ignore def too) for BBAtk up, Raaga for spark, Ark for Atk up (and Ark himself has total 840% SBB multiplier), and finally Zerafalgar for BC and BB regen buffs.

i average 3+m per 20 stage run using Kira lead, Zenia, Ark, Reis, Zerafalgar, and Griff friend with Blighted seal. I can also achieve the same with Reis lead, Zenia, Ark, Alice, Zerafalgar and Zedus friend with Blighted seal. Any friends that did not use blight seal (or equivalent crit dmg spheres) caused me not to hit 3m. Since most friends would put on crap like Buffer or Occults, if possible try not to use them even if the unit is 1 that suits your team. It will seriously drag down your score. Rev books are pretty good spheres to use too, esp with Geldnites.
