Stats and Build
Build 1 - Buddy Fairchild – Ultimate DPS
Prioritizes Critical Rate/DMG and DMG Bonus. Buddy Fairchild's kit has a lot of ATK and DMG Bonus, so focusing on crit here helps to boost his damage a lot.

Comments
Unfortunately, Buddy Fairchild doesn't have any tailor-made psychubes and will need to depend on his teammates for some psychubes' activation conditions.
Another Story is a great, self-sufficient option if you have it built. Buddy can't get the Incantation Might because he doesn't have Eureka, but that's not where most of his damage is coming from, anyway. 18% Ultimate Might is really solid, and if you get lucky with merges, you can slowly stack up DMG Bonus to 8%–24%.
With Lopera on the team, you can run Substitutes and Simulacra. Her [Ritual Bullet]s make the activation condition a joke. 16%–32% Critical DMG, 8%–16% ATK, and 10% DMG Bonus is insane for a 5* psychube.
With Euphoria Melania on the team, The Carat of a Heart is simple to activate. You can use [Passion Drain], Buddy's Insight III Moxie +1, and his buff skill at max stacks to rapidly gain Moxie for that 12%–24% Ultimate Might. This psychube's 16% Critical Rate substat is kind of wasted unless you're running Lopera as well.
Her Second Life is an alright consideration especially if you're missing some survivability. Buddy will be spamming his ultimate so much that the ATK x32%–64% healing is rather significant. The 10% ATK is alright, though Buddy already buffs his ATK.
Rehearsal of Dreams gives 18% Ultimate Might, but the extra 12%–24% Ultimate Might from inflicting [Neg Status] effects is impossible to activate without the help of someone like Euphoria An-an Lee. A debuff-heavy support like Isolde, Euphoria An-an Lee, Euphoria Bkornblume, or Loggerhead can help Buddy achieve that 12%–24% DMG Bonus.
A Note on Alternatives:
Although he can get the 18%–36% Critical DMG from Never-Ending Q&A, Buddy misses out on the 12%–24% Ultimate Might. Another reason I can't fully recommend it is that Hissabeth is one of Buddy's best teammates and you'd rather use it on her instead.
As a budget option, Spinning Yarns is alright. While Buddy can't get the 5% Ultimate Might, he can easily achieve the psychube's activation condition (casting a mass ultimate and critting against every enemy) while at full stacks. The main problem is that while 12%–36% DMG Bonus and 8% DMG Bonus is good, it's a bit redundant since Buddy already buffs those stats.

About the team
It just is, don't ask me why. Probably the single strongest 'budget' team available, Buddy is an incredibly self-sufficient Ultimate Carry. He boosts his own ATK massively, generates his own Moxie and has a gigantic Mass Nuke on his Ultimate that is guaranteed to crit which also increases allied DMG Dealt. This meshes well with Melania, who is capable of stacking large amounts of Ult Might and Lopera who is known for her Ult/Incan buffs on top of considerable crit stat buffing. Medpoc just finishes this off with their defensive shredding. Buddy hits HARD, and can also be supported through generally strong buffers like Ulrich and Mercuria or some general units such as Hissabeth, Kakania, Name Day and Druvis III.
