Squad clear for hard mode:

Elaina lead, Ochaco Uraraka, Bayley, Gajeel Redfox, Ophiuchus, Andaria friend

With Elaina lead or friend, remaining units doesn't matter as long as you have a earth mitigator and follow the rules correctly because Zaad is doing all the work for the whole fight.

The nuke in phase 3 doesn't hurt with Elaina lead and mitigation. Half of my squad was practically sphereless and at most you'll see your units taking 10~20k damage (having all your units at least 35,000+ HP is a safe spot but more is always better). If you have Arumat in the squad then it will be a lot more damage taken and you'll risk wiping. Andaria UBB will not help cheese the attack with evasion so it's pointless outside of just extra damage through her buffs.

If you reach Phase 3 before turn 20, then you can have him do all the work and let him defeat himself by just doing the mechanics for 20 more turns (DBB will just lower the amount of turns needed for him to achieve this instead).
