Heroes are disposable, dont worry too much about canceling mission and not finishing it, or leaving boss fight, or throwing away entire squad when they get too many debuffs.
As you progress through the game, getting new chars up and running quickly gets much easier.

Suffer not the lame horse, nor the broken man.

You’re going to die

A lot

This is normal. Each area has a gimmick or theme to it you need to learn. You learn this either through dying or running away.

Each death is a learning experience. There’s no time limit in the base game. You can never soft lock yourself out. Learning each time you have a setback is the most important thing.

Don't be discouraged by death and failure. The game is unforgiving and difficult, but becomes reasonably chill when you have learned enough.

Random stuff: Vestal and Occultist are the best healers. Ranged characters tend to be most favorable. You only need one tank, but don't actually need one. Speed is one of the most important stats. Antiquarians are the best way to make gold. Stress will kill you, if you don't deal with it.

Good luck!

Look for new classes on the workshop, it adds so much more fun to the game!

Leveling up your heroes doesn't make them any stronger! Instead it allows them to get new gear and level upgrades from the blacksmith and the guild. Upgrading those and getting your heroes good gear is absolutely crucial for later missions.

Fail often and have fun failing. Good luck.

You're right that it doesn't improve the damage and health of heroes directly, but It does make them stronger. Some stats like bleed\blight resistances etc. are directly based on resolve level. Hover over stats like this in the character menu and they show how much is contributed by character level.

I personally like getting attached to my characters. Just encourages me to try harder next time so my new batch of precious lil' beans don't die. And for advice... don't let people tell you how to play. And you'll die a lot. How you strategize is up to you and how you learn is up to you. Eventually after trying enough... you'll get it down and you'll love your experience. Beating the game's worth it and it was a rollercoaster for me.

Whether or not you play with mods is up to you. I personally loved my first experience with this game without any mods. The limited variety in heroes actually leads to more creative strategies from my experience... and even when I do play with mods nowadays like... four new mod characters is the max in my book (With and without DLC). And that's pushing it. Anymore and they start stepping on each other's toes and filling each other's niches. The strategy becomes more so "Pick this character instead" rather than "There's some utility in this old character you looked over. Get creative and try 'em out ^^ "
