FINALLY beat this tonight! Not only did I beat it, but I did it entirely with one team.

(All units are max level and fully imp'ed):

Deathless Hadaron - Axe of Hadaron / Harp of Aurelia (SUB)

Neptunian Tridon - Tridon's Trident / Phoenix Crown (LEADER)

Grave Carver Aaron - Occult Treasure / Sacred Crystal (SUB)

Galactic Treasure Ivris - Drevas / Queen's Tear (SUB)

Thunder Savior Shera - Spirit Tiara / Fallacy Orb (SUB)

Inferno Rifle Bestie - Spirit Tiara / Heresy Orb (FRIEND)

Items - Fujin Potion x2 / Fujin Tonic x3 / Revive Light x2 / Crescent Dew x2 / Hero Crystal x1

The trick is to get past Lugina without using any revival items, which is a lot harder than it sounds. I did it by using my Hero Crystal on the first turn for Hadaron's UBB, popping a fujin potion, and wailing on Lugina. The ATK boost you get from his UBB is good, but the DEF boost is actually the reason everyone survived until battle 2. During those first few turns, you have to set up a BB loop that will be used right up until Karl hits his 10% threshold, being mindful not to overwrite the wrong ATK/DEF buff.

When everyone's BB gauges are full, start the following loop:

1 - Shera SBB

2 - Bestie SBB (switch to BB when gauges aren't getting filled enough)

3 - Aaron SBB

4 - Ivris SBB (switch to BB when healing is neccessary)

5 - Hadaron SBB

6 - Tridon SBB

Once you get the feel of how fast the BB gauge fill rate is, you'll know when to switch between BB and SBB without breaking the loop. When the Overdrive gauge fills up again, Use Ivris' UBB to grant KO protection for two party members.

Near the end of the trial, you will find it hard to generate BC due to Karl and Grahdens being the only targets. Use Fujin Tonics sparingly to save what you can of the loop. There is no way you'll make it out with all six units alive, but you can feel safe letting Aaron/Shera stay KO'ed (one or the other, NOT both).

Focus your attacks on Karl, Exvehl, Selena, Karl again, then finally Grahdens.

This is by far the hardest trial I've completed, but I haven't done Trial 007 or X3 yet so your opinion may vary slightly.

Hope this helped out a few people! It took me a few dozen tries to beat this, and I actually figured out the loop by accident lol.
