She can reliably clear the 19 minute wave with only a single collab (micomet, elite cooking, or dragonfire, probably flattening board too, take what RNG gives you first). Friend also picks up experience (but not coins) and, especially early on when you only have feathers, will be throwing out a really powerful weapon every 5 seconds. There's still a lot of RNG to get glasses and super chat early enough.
Her special is awful but it has two uses. At the 1:30 shieldbeat wave it will kill all of them, even off-screen, and it only erases experience on-screen so that's a decent chunk of experience. You can then do the same thing with the big wave of running clocks around the 13 minute mark once they run off the edge of your screen.
