Fire Elementals or group with Ice Guardians you have to break. Rest you can sleep.
Generally you want to use Castti Latent on 1st floor, because you should only have 1 Diffusing + Dreamy Flower left.

If you had to burn your Ice M on something (Plukk missed range, Fire Elemental Break), you can make Throne Inventor for Trosseau and slightly alter the script.
Watch T2 turn order at the start, looking for Castti or Throne before Partitio.
If you see Partitio between your non-Inventor and Castti T2, you can Defend instead of Spring Boots T1. Make sure you give him BP twice T2 if you do this.

If Partitio is before Castti and Throne T2, you need to hit 2/4 Crits with normal variation, 3/4 with no Ice M variation. The odds of hitting >= 2 crits is 26.172%, so you're better off going for a 35% Collect x3 with Partitio.
