My Shiki is only at 18 or so, so worse than Diamante (whom I maxed). Diamante special when used on stage 4 will also take out the grunts (through I haven't tested it without weakening them with Kid special first). And yes, if I speed rush a bit, he is not charged for stage 4, but to avoid losses I try to delay a bit on stage 2, so that if I have to use GPU on stage 3 Diamante is ready for stage 4. I probably waste 30 seconds or so on each run, but it makes for a pretty stress-free run, as no matter what CDs I get, I can do it. Worst run was all CDs on stages 1 and 3, and taking hits from grunts twice or so, I ended up at 60-70k HP at final stage - still no problem, since if Duval is still standing, he doesn't have enough HP to survive MC special + 2 turns of hits. With MAX Diamante, I think the setup is pretty much 100% safe for farming (and Diamante should be easier solution for most people than maxing Shiki, which for most won't be an option for a year or so...).
