Hm. The balance is pretty bad. This is just a ‘spam heal between debuffs’ simulator. It’s possible to beat the first boss, but if you get even ONE crit, you’re dead. (44 hp damage with enemy legs bound and Veil with defense boost on…)

I assume you're talking about Arlana.
First, I would like to thank you for your patience and for engaging with the mechanics. What was your strategy when dealing with her? I would love to hear your opinion on her.
Next, as for enemy critical hits, I apologize for the imbalance. The game is currently agnostic as to which battler can land critical hits, and I didn't realize until it was too late that the game's inspiration never let monsters inflict critical hits and only allowed players to inflict them through normal attacks. I am working to correct this for the coming update.
Uh… let’s see… I got the archer out of the prison, bought a shield for the first character. I had the ability that activates shadow form on the first turn (so I could use the group heal) and the defense increase while shadowed.
The archer mostly did Leg binding, as I couldn’t tell how long a bind lasted, nor which attacks used leg power (I simply assumed that [legs] = [pirouette] were a thing only after reading the archer’s attack text and feeling suspicious)
The turns were healing with occasional attacks (any time other than the first few turns if I didn’t heal every other turn I’d be dead, so spamming heals was the only option), with a few rounds dedicated to defending (what was the 8 for? HP? MP?).
–Most rounds I was left guessing at the MP left, because the interface covers it when selecting and can only be seen before opening the menu.
I don’t know if there was a mana regen system or not, but I did survive more turns than I thought I’d be able to heal through. Got the boss to 25% before getting a crit on the lead character and being left with the archer and no way to recover.
It’s not the most detailed account, but it’s generally what I remember… so there most likely may be flaws in the retelling.
