Building a party that survives Emberfall Saga's mid-game wall

Emberfall Saga is generous early on, and then chapter six happens. This is where a lot of players hit a wall, and it is almost always because their party is too generalized.

The trick is committing to a combo. I built everything around a healer who could also apply a defense buff, paired with two damage dealers who hit the same weakness. Once the whole party pulled in one direction, fights that felt impossible became routine.

Do not spread your upgrade materials thin. It is tempting to level everyone a little, but a focused core of three strong characters beats five mediocre ones every time in the harder battles.

Also, actually read the enemy telegraphs. The game tells you what is coming, and half the difficulty spike is just players not paying attention to it. Slow down and the wall gets a lot smaller.
