The Observation Tower is definitely the safest place for those two, alongside being one where they'll be decently useful.
Kyoko and Sayaka also works well together anyhow.
You should be more worried for dear old Argalia over there. He's the only one going solo.
Sure he knows how to fight his old ensemble but that doesn't mean much when something like Tanya could just overpower him.
The Ensemble's powers are all still Star of the Cities even with no intelligent behind them.
The likelihood of them bogging down Argalia for a while is pretty likely even if there's only 1 of them there.
Hopefully it's someone easy like the Puppeteer, who relies on him being smart to be strong, instead of say Tanya or Philip who are strong without needing intelligence.
Wait...
How complicated is the objective? @Lepidoptera, can we just leave behind a Pinks Soldier and go help the other groups?

I'm tentatively ready to go with Nyarky's plan, though I had a few questions.
How good is our communication network? I know there was a vote way back when we were first scouting the place about studying how to communicate in this place, but I don't remember if we actually picked it or something else. If anyone knows off the top of their head or can search it up, I think that would be crucial to this plan working well. Otherwise, I would be doubtful that we can sync up the teleports appropriately to battlefield needs on the fly.
EDIT:
[x] Plan: Run in little circles.
So your idea is that we deal with J Bird fast to leave the Black Forest marker undefended, allowing X to pivot between locations and primarily aid in breaking through the Court? Then when it is time, warp back to the Black Forest marker when all other markers are exposed?

EDIT:
Okay looks like the vote for communication didn't go through. So X would have to improvise as courier for complex coordinated movements. It still seems workable as long as J Bird is dealt with quickly, which I'm confident in. And uh if things go pear-shaped we can flip the table and invoke a Twilight event probably

The exact plan will depend on how things develop, this is one possibility, another is that we can destroy the marker and quickly run to the next place thanks to Leonie so that we can finish the last one before the first one's respawn timer runs out. If Lepi allows it, I am also thinking on having X finish on Black Forest, run to court, and give Leonie to Homu and Mami so they can help Argalia while we finish court.

Is it possible to swap the Court team with Argalia? The Wizard's defenses are likely to be psychological along with physical, and both Mami and Homura are vulnerable. Mami is a veteran magical girl, but that strength hides a certain fragility. Homura is now literally a machine of a person, but has a big pink weak spot called Madoka. Madoka who was known to be kidnapped and left in the Wizard's clutches doing god knows what. No way the Wizard isn't going to take advantage of that. "You left Madoka alone with me, the fault lies in you Homura!"
Hell, Kyoko could be a better choice since her ability is stronger indoors.
Also less chance of puppet Sakura family union.

That's what I'm saying!
The Court is filled to the brim with traps and other assortment of mind fuckery damage.
Atleast either Argalia or X would be safer sending them in first.

Of note, Sana Futaba is likely to be the girl positioned at the Tower, so look out for invisible girls. She was noted for being unable to best Sayaka, so that's reassuring. Maybe Sayaka could solo the Tower?
Ashley is on the opposite end of the city so we might not see her. Which is good because her magic perfectly counters Sayaka.
Really, power-wise Sayaka and Kyoko are pretty good for the Tower. The problem is psychological, with the puppets made of people things.
Worse case scenario is that both the Mikis and the Sakuras were made into puppets and Sayaka and Kyoko are busy having a mental breakdown to defend themselves.

Yeah, I don't.
Honestly, if we are going to do this with the plan that X is going to rush over to the Court, why not just send Homura and Mami to reinforce the other 2 groups before having Mami, Homura, and X all converge on the Court?
X will still go first, with Mami and Homura assisting later. At the same time, Argalia, Kyoko, and Sayaka will all have a better time dealing with enemies that might fight them on their perspective objectives.

Well, I personally think that in a quest that contains some strong theme of letting go of control and trusting each other, you should show a little more trust.
Our girls are not made of glass, and Mami and Homura are our most mentally resistant and best fighters.
If we don't trust them, who can we even trust?

I mean, I trust them to kill JBird. Maybe it is you who should show a little more trust.
J.Bird is the worst possible opponent for them though.
Like, Lepi gave the resistances, they are explicitly one shot worthy when it comes to him, the court is not described as providing one shots.
Edit:
Homura also have a long history of sins (mercy killing Madoka, killing her friends when they go mad, that sort of things), yes the Bird judges everyone, but do you really believe he won't be more effective against someone that is genuinely sinful?

That was back when I still thought Homura could time stop because the Adult's presence was negligable in the forest.
However I still believe that sending Argalia and Leonia to deal with JBird or X to deal with JBird and have Argalia/Leonia to deal with the Court is a far safer play than you having Homura and Mami deal directly with the Court.
With Time Stop resistances don't matter.
With Leonia, being able to dodge attacks should render the damage irrelevant similar to the elevators of Lobotomy and Last Helix (or how you fight Jbird with non Pale Resistance armor).
Still don't get why having them head to the court is safer than say, having them fight 1 single mindless Ensemble member together.

Why not just have the girls tackle the Mill and the Tower while X and Argalia handle the Court and Judgment Bird? We give the most dangerous targets to our strongest members, and the girls can take care of anything less hazardous.
Isn't this more logical?
Isn't this more logical?
I trust Mami and Homura together more on taking care of the Court than Argalia alone, he is better placed on the mill on account on the main opponents there being his former ensemble, that he knows how to handle.
I mean, we saw him take care of them single handedly when in his sidestory, we know he can do it.

[X] Plan: Run in little circles.
In light of Yesod's words a chapter ago, I'll vote for the plan that doesn't involve X going at it alone and without support, however nominal.
If we had reliable communications, then I'd argue for keeping a reserve force to respond to complications in the attack plan. But alas. I hope we get something worthwhile out of that preparation vote a while back.

Today all the locations the Tower seems to be the weakest link, staffed mostly by minions. The magical girl staffed there, Futaba Sana, can't even beat Sayaka.
If there is one location that we have to send someone solo, it's here.

Then why can't our girls do it then?
You can't even hide behind the "They'll get insta-killed" stick because they won't, they did pretty well against Greta when they didn't know what she was capable of (though X and Nothing There Kyoko did serve as the meatshields in that fight).
While here, they'll know and likely have plans on how to deal with each Ensemble members, given Lepid's comments on how they'll be given information on everything we know + more that we don't.

Y'all know how it always goes when a person gives a heartfelt goodbye before going off to a fight, yeah?
That wasn't how I read that interaction when I was writing it, is this how it looked to anyone else?

Not from my end. That's just how Binah interacts with people she respects in general.
Roland, X, A, Angela, and Geburah all get the same from her.

When was the chapter where X discussed their romantic preferences? I recall it happening a while back, sometime during Act 2 since I'm fairly certain Kyoko was there.
Oh, and voting will likely close in two or so days. Get your final decisions in, people!

Man that was a whileeee ago.
It's Chapter 121 - Familial Bonds.
2.3.10.
X's standards for a partner are the ideal as we agreed on back then.
Looking back, isn't that basically Whitenight now that we've actually met the little fetus? Sure it was a spooky encounter for X but WN does meet all the criteria we voted on back then.

I'm now debating if I should hold a poll for potential romantic partners in the interim between votes from now on. More out of curiosity than anything else, considering the sum total of viable partners includes:
- The Sephirah (More friends than anything else)
- Binah (Is Binah, would not be a good romantic match to anyone)
- Roland? (They've spoken all of twice and don't have much of any chemistry)
- Argalia (Is Argalia, would be a terrible influence)
- Isabeau (Doctors shouldn't date their patients)
- Nothing There (No concept of personal space)
- AWTL (Terrible at properly communicating feelings)
- WhiteNight (Self-centered and probably possessive)
- [CENSORED] (I got nothing, but really?)
Not exactly great prospects.
