If you wqnt them filled, you are going to need to use lower-level stuff somewhere to get under the cap.

Arts cards are pretty bad, they're the boosts blades sometimes give, but you should really just fill those in last if you have leftover space. The ones you do have equipped are some of the best ones except for aggro draw, since qtpi is going to be doing so much damage she's going to get aggro really easily without it and you could go for like an arts boost or something, but it doesn't really matter.

Critical restore 5 is pretty overkill, you can make do with a critical restore 1 and use another damage boosting skill ram.

Aside from that, you could swap put the muscle mod for a strike mod 1 or another level 1 mod. Mods just change the driver stats and they influence damage very little, so it's better to get a bit of an increase in hit rate or evasion and save a lot of fuel you can use for another damage boosting skill ram.

The dark element costs 100 fuel instead of the 50 that all other elements except light cost, so you could swap it to another one, but you should just use whatever element works best in your current setup.

If you want maybe the best qtpi setup you can watch Enel's poppi qtpi guide on youtube and you can just copy his setup and maybe make a few changes if you want to.

Critical Restore V is insanely overkill for QTpi. Critical Restore 1 is plenty, and that'll free up some energy for you.

AC Aggro Draw is also a strange choice. She's gonna be doing so much damage that she'll pull aggro anyway.

I typically just use AB Vital Charge for all of the specials, and change up the levels to fit whatever I'm trying to fit. The Light Core is more expensive, so if I use that, I have to reduce the AB Vital Charge levels to make room for it.

You should work out the math to use all six slots. Not sure what your setup is to only be able to afford 4. I believe I have 5 level V upgrades and one level I upgrade in mine.

I forget what my setup is like exactly, but one example of something you can use a lower version of is critical restore. You don't really need the full 30% heal in most instances considering PoppiiQTPi already has a heal art. I believe I use Crit Restore I.
