I did the achievement with the exact same party composition, but I'm also fairly certain that you can manage to pull it off with say HWM and MAA instead of the two Shieldbreakers. Riposte is a great mechanic.
That being said, when you spend some time fighting it starts to get obvious that there's a lot of RNG involved to most good runs. Crit here and there can make it or break it, despite your experience. Getting blighted for 8 turns despite having good resistance, or simply pulling the short stick with an Affliction can end a run. Then depending on how the light changes and the enemies you're facing, you either plow through them or struggle a lot.
For example getting one shoted by a treebranch smackdown has caused me irl stress because there's absolutely no counter play it. Arbitrary speed check for who goes first, it's the enemy despite being slow, and poof one of your guys gets deleted, just like that. If you get lucky it's death's door and they succeed the checks but again you're stuck with a penalty for having the audacity to be critted in the face.
Same party, 4 virtues can't remember what they were but one of the shieldbreakers received powerful early, got me to 440 on the kill tally. I probably could've gotten to 500 but I got bored of playing, once the audiobook finished..

Double shield breaker? Honestly kinda boring. I have a fun comp for ya. PD Jester OCC and either abom or leper. The plan? Buff the shit out of your frontline and crit to death anything that has HP. Might have problems with first phase sleeper and bosses that like to sit in the back rows.

This is the best bot ever, always nice to see it
It reminds me of the jingle at the beginning of the Friends TV show theme. Seems you really got far with those virtues! I have avoided cheese strats but considering I never got to 200 kills it might be time for me to bite that bullet.

I totally understand your feeling about the the Battle Ballad, I am not the fan of the the Endless-type quests. Although I almost always stop right after the Sleeper, but I decided that in my recent playthrough I will try out 3 more interesting partially modded teams and go as far as I can without virtue-cheesing. This moment I am right before the third (first not CoM-related) Boss with no diseases, tons of provisions and less than 10 Stresses for any of my Heroes in my first Endless and still I already regret my "vow" :(
