Estimate from the game’s formulas, not from matches. How we calculate
Recommended build
Bonds only come from winning a rift arena (1 per win). Fused moves fire together, each on its own cooldown, so the group’s damage is the sum.

Item
Choice Band — ×1.4 damage but locks the active slot. Take it once the group is built (or always fuse into the active slot).
Focus Sash — the only protection against Arceus’ hits (1 extra life every 60 s).
Variant for after minute 30
In Arceus’ Judgment, legendaries double their HP and damage every 5 s. Slow, stun, pull and poison beat raw damage.
