V. LD/BT Discussion with Black Cloud

LDBT/Challenge Quest Summary - Mino
How necessary are LDs and BTs each? If I am someone who has a hard time clearing CHAOS now, will I need them to clear content moving forward?
How noticeable is the power creep from early LD and BT characters? Are EX+-only characters objectively worse investments after this point?
What is the most efficient investment if I only care about pulling meta and moving forward spending the least amount of resources? Are 2-Week synergies really worth more than most other characters?
Are LDs generally used sparingly to refresh strong buffs or for burst damage?
As someone who has cleared all content, how did you pull since LDs and BTs dropped and will you do it differently the second time in GL?
How is ingot and training points management moving forward?
How difficult is the average Challenge Quest? What level of investment do you think they are built around?
