Unbalanced encounters
Im enjoying this game but JFC sometimes enemy comps can wipe you out in seconds. like god help you if you get 5 witches in the swamp that firewall spell will just instakill any character.

Not sure about that artistic change with the Turn-A, but I'd suggest having Claude use Helmetbreaker to snap cancel the witch cast. Got burned by that a few times and immediately remembered that's a thing.

If you got your name from Electrosphere btw, that's my fav plane series.

Try equipping equipment with elemental defenses such as accessories, etc. It will make those magic users far more manageable and can even make them do No Effect (0 dmg) or absorb (heal you).

Another thing to consider is, even without the above tip, you can break many of them fast with either magic or something like upgraded Claude's Helmet Breaker. Once broken an enemy stops attacking and takes massive dmg. You could try silencing them with Rena, too, but I've never bothered trying that since it hasn't been necessary.

Do not forget to upgrade the IC Biology as this gives you a huge growth to HP.

yuh most spellcaster enemies are totally disabled by focusing them and being hyper aggressive.
A spellcaster of your own can easily interrupt everyone on the field too.
Use quick tactic "interrupt enemy spells" on your party too.

casters are pretty devestating early game because spells have a fixed amount of base damage and scale with INT.

I think it might be due to the fact that its realy hard to stack INT.

you can cap attack out however at 9999. its just never going to happen with INT.

For starlight and eruption, you can dodge the spell. It's harder for eruption, you pretty much have to get moving the moment the word appears on the screen (or earlier, if you see a witch channeling and can't hitstun her out of it).
