In the mobile game? Noted, but I'm not sure that all of the various parallel plotlines of Symphogear are going to show up in the crossover quest.

Is XDU the mobile game?

I don't know. I just tried to figure out what the source material was by reading the wiki entries, which ain't easy sometimes. But Torgamous says yes, which is good enough for me.
Fandom wikis are often very basic or poorly sourced, because either:
1) They're dashed off in five minutes by someone who doesn't feel like spending much time on the entry, or
2) They're done in extreme detail by an obsessive nerd who has Very Strong Opinions but may well struggle with telling the difference between their opinions and the facts.

XDU Tesla made the Eleklieds, yes. XDU Tesla is also A) Explicitly divergent from 'proper' history and B)Heavily reliant on Precursor tech after said divergence at that, so there's basically zero chance of that coming up for this history's Tesla even if you ignore the multiverse stuff involved in his plotline.

Hmmm... I hated all those lines. Guess I'm too much Old Doctor Who, as I remember watching the 4th, 5th, and 6th Doctors as a kid. Those are the Doctors I think of when I think of Doctor Who.
"You may be a doctor. But I'm the Doctor. The definite article, you might say."
"Would you like a jelly baby?"
"You're standing on my scarf."
"There's no point being grown-up if you can't be childish sometimes."
"What's the use of a quotation if you can't change it?"
If we are going for a story about wordplay and sports, then The Princess Bride is what leaps to my mind. I can definitely see Minako loving that book.
Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy then?
Pretty sure Harry Potter is not published yet. Sailor Moon came out in 1991, while Harry Potter dates to 1998.
I remember there was a decent Sailor Moon / Harry Potter crossover once. It focused on Lupin and Venus interactions if I remember right. It did take a more serious tone than early Potter, but then again, there is plenty of silliness in Sailor Moon too.
Yeah, she'll like the early songs. "That's what Bilbo Baggins hates!"
I believe the Spellblades did actually confirm that Venus is cursed.

Well... Good for you? I tried to watch Classic Who, but the first Doctor was too classic, and I couldn't find any help towards what episodes would be good for dipping my toes in with the other Doctors. Got any tips?

A good standard for each Doctor is their first episode otherwise it depends on each doctor. The Dalek episodes are typically good as well.

To be fair, I believe all those lines were from the 11th Doctor, and a major theme of that run was what happens when he "gets high off his own hype" and is forced to confront the human cost and ongoing consequences of how he became one of the most feared entities in the galaxy.
Given Symphogear references then I think Tesla might have been onto something, possibly driven to obsession as many scientists would when a device sometimes works but you simply cannot isolate why, despite every accessible variable being accounted for.
Like if you yourself are negligibly magic, but you accidentally incorporated a sliver of a broken artifact or worked at a location thats intermittently magically potent. And you can't sense it nor can any instrumentation pick it up consistently.
Whether you get the electric Gears then depends on whether Tesla ultimately got enough magic stuff to make it work/achieve a functional theory, or simply became more and more outlandish and far from success over time as theres just not enough samples/magic to make it do anything beyond being weird.

Seems much more likely. As to the Hitchhiker's Guide, well, Sir Fred's a fan and has already quoted it deadpan to multiple Heartcatch characters.
When I say "it is a silly place," I don't mean literally silly, so much as I'm just making a Monty Python quote on general principles.
If anyone gives me the freedom to establish the status of Harry Potter as reality, fiction, or somewhere in between in this crossover, the result will be, ah, prejudicial to J.K. Rowling's dignity and not introduce significant new content not already known to be present in the crossover.

Eleklied's actually a fairly recent development partially relying on someone who worked with Ryoko on Gears in another world; XDU Tesla's motives revolve around reviving a love interest that never happened in proper history(notably having already tried a variant of the Precia/Fate method with similar results). As such, if those XDU details have to be included he might've been getting close to accidentally contacting a leftover facility before he lost funding and died in poverty. The only way an Eleklied's showing is if A.Hibiki decides to be a passing-through
(Honestly, most of XDU is probably irrelevant to UsagiQuest; main things I can see are elements from the Adultverse already present, and maybe some of the Nanoha collab informing the TSAB's behaviour.)
Well, the first episode of the fourth Doctor Tim Baker is a decent place to start. There is a little confusion, as the 3rd Doctor was very different from many of the tropes we associate with the Doctor (budget cuts meant the Tardis was initially grounded and instead the Doctor was stuck in one place and time helping out with a sort of XCOM organization). The confusion swiftly passes though as the fourth doctor promptly leaves in the Tardis and begins again to adventure in space and time.
That would be the first episode of the twelfth season. Or if you want to watch the arc that kills the third doctor you could start in episode 21 of the eleventh season.
Since when people talk about Classic Doctor Who they are almost always referencing the Fourth Doctor he is a good place to start as well to understand a lot of references (including many in New Who). Though some of those references in New Who do actually reference the Third Doctor who had a significant effect on the future of Who despite being overshadowed by the Fourth Doctor. Sarah Jane for example became a companion to the Third Doctor. (First appears in the first episode of season 11, so that's also a plausible place to start).

Despite knowing full well that TWEWY and it's sequel don't really fit the general metaphysics of the quest, much less being at least a decade into the future, I do think it'd be interesting for some of the main cast to make an appearance in the timeline if it gets that far. Neku, Shiki, Joshua, Beat, Rhyme, and the NEO cast are all amazing characters.

I'm not sure the cosmologies are compatible, but if there was an attempt, then there would probably be some… discussions about hierarchy. Are the Composers part of an existing system that was founded/recognized by the Silver Millennium but were left to their own devices after the Fall, or is the Underground something that has been developed relatively recently?
Either way, once the Senshi learn about it, Sailor Saturn would probably try to assert that SHE is the only one with the authority to erase cities when she feels like it, thank you very much.

D&D does too have rocket fists. Hidden away in monster statblocks across multiple editions, assorted magic items, and somewhere in the splash zone of articlficer.

The cosmologies part was most of what I meant by metaphysics, yeah. I almost want to think that if they were around, the Composers and/or Underground would be a more recent phenomenon. Possibly along the lines of 'some mage tried to make a spirit of an entire city, and predictable consequences ensued'? It seems like something that might have arisen post-Fade. Sailor Saturn's response would also be quite justified as uh... city spirits deciding to 'nope, I'm done here, we're starting from scratch' on their own inhabitants is most certainly not in line with Usagi's general views on people.

So, here's a riddle for the thread:
The Senshi have actually encountered the Samatta Group before, but they were using a different name at the time. Any guesses?

9 miles of solid diamonds may lurk beneath Mercury's surface, new study finds
New simulations suggest that a 9-mile-thick layer of diamonds may lurk deep below the surface of Mercury. The gems almost certainly can't be mined for bling — but they may help solve some of the planet's biggest mysteries.
