Hrmmm... Here are some options to consider...

Azurai Omni/Avant lead, Seria, Adel, Ciara, Rineth, Kulyuk friend

Azurai Omni/Korzan lead, Seria, Adel, Ciara, Limera, Avant/Vargas Friend

Unfortunately, without Kulyuk and Rineth, you might have some serious trouble keeping Azurai's BB gauges up (his animation is slow and his SBB requirements are massive, so I'm not sure how much benefit he'll get from Seria's BC on spark buff, especially if he's switching between BB and SBB), but I wouldn't drop Limera for Bestie in the second build unless you can guarantee status immunity via Noel's assistance or possibly spheres. Korzan could be substituted for Azurai, but if Azurai really isn't working out, then it might be better to go with Avant lead and Avant/Vargas/Kulyuk friend. Korzan does offer more survival than Avant, but Avant still has a much better LS for damage.

Oh! Randolph friend would be useful too, but if you have Azurai, Korzan, and Avant, then you've got the crit buffs, so he's probably less useful and harder to find anyway. Kulyuk would still be more useful, I think. I could be wrong though. Randolph's LS is surprisingly nice for survival and BB management. The problem is the elemental gates really reward the most damage...

Btw, have Seria go after Adel for better spark buff at the end.

Anyone with better ideas, please suggest them. I haven't completely beaten the Fire Gate myself, but I thought I could offer a little more help than Kiefkief (which was sound advice, but not very specific.)
