Clearing Horde gives rewards equivalent to clearing 30 individual Extreme raids; therefore it is less AP and time efficient for meat farming than Extreme+. However, the advantage is that you do not need to interact with the game as often compared to individually hosting Extreme+.
Useful Horde Characters (Non-Exhaustive)
Below is a list of some useful characters that players can use to build their own 30 wave Horde setup. Note that characters who start with turn limited buffs or rely on skill nukes after enemy special attacks will be less useful and/or reliable over the course of 30 fights.

Comments:
Zeta needs 15% TA from Halluel and Malluel, awakening, and ring/earring/artifact.
Character choice is relatively flexible between characters who have innate GTA or can easily achieve 100% TA through the grid and/or auto activate skills after auto attacks.

Comments:
This is a Semi-auto setup.
If Team is missing dmg just add a 3rd teamate that can do dmg; Team is extremely flexible as Phoenix's Torch does more than half of each bosses hp
MC Must reach 100% Triple attack rate, this part is non negotiable;
Lyria (Event) Can be used as 3rd slot to give MC perp atk);
