My main squad at that point was:

Quaid Lead   Ruby   Hadaron   Sefia   Deimos

You may say Deimos is kind of like a mitigator except he was redundant since I just OTKO everything. I also said how I used this for Quest, not any of those things. Though, some trials and GGC are easily done without mitigators, such as Karl (of course), Grahdens, Maxwell, the 6 Heroes GGC, the first set of the Guardians GGC, and maybe some more that I missed. As for Grand Quest, you can do the first two without a mitigator, though it might be recommended, and Seria's GQ doesn't require a mitigator. You can also do SBS without a mitigator, and you could probably go though a lot of Raids without mitigators.

OP, Michele's LS is much better than Nemethgear's, since a boost to BB attack isn't much (turns 500% SBB multiplier to 600%, which isn't too helpful), and Michele provides the same BB fill rate buff on top of a health boost. Elimo is also a pretty good mitigator since she also heals, provides DEF buff, and clears status ailments. You should get her to 7* if you have no other mitigators. However, if you get Nemethgear to 7*, you should be able to do what I do and OTKO Quests to level up quickly, and that way you could get Elimo up pretty quickly.
