Good setup for first few characters?

I don't want to spoil anything for anybody so I'll just ask it this way. For your first 4 characters, how do you have them setup picto and ability wise? I am near the end of Act 1 I believe and I feel like I am doing low damage. I feel I am missing something here with my setup. Not 100% sure what the best way to use character 2 and 3 yet and I pretty much just try to keep burn up with everyone if possible.

Hard to remember what was available at that point, but if you've explored decently AND did the yellow harvest area right away, you should be more than strong enough.

Get roulette and just equip every damage picto and +ap parry dodge ♥♥♥♥.
If your build is right you should be able to do 9999 damage before act 1 ends.

Just stack any damage multiplier you can until you start hitting the 9999 dmg cap. then worry about other stuff.

Maelle with her semi missable weapon from the tournament should be able to occasionally hit 9999 at this point. Gustav and his Overload move with 10/10 charge is very good as well.
Just stack damage luminas. Either, by pure damage boost or buffs and debuffs. Stuff like marked enemy, defenceless, powerful etc. All weapons should be lvl9 at least.
Check some YT video about builds if you want. Maelle is an easy pick for dealing damage and others can simply support her.

You don't really have alot of options in act1 for actual picto/lumina synergy, you're gated by skill points and color lumina. Just equip what you can use.
Some pictos you can get early are pretty universal though if you use character 2 and 3. Mainly critical burn, energising start, roulette (for multi hit characters) and teamwork of the top of my head.
