You can farm the Tactical Chips in Combat Simulation in the HIA through the "Icing Test" node.

Higher Dimensional Data: Murderous Obituary can be acquired by challenging Notorious Dullahan in the Expert Challenge.

Sycophant's Refinement drops from the Bringer weekly challenge. Note that you can only claim rewards from this fight thrice a week, shared with other Notorious Hunt nodes. This was the same one that Miyabi and Harumasa required for their own skill levels, so check if you have some left over. However, Vivian also requires this material, so make sure to farm extra.
