Is my team too weak?

[Grubber]

I'm in the dunes, and I'm trying to kill Tze Tza, but I die befor he goes under 1,000 Hp. My team's :
Clara, Edward and Matthieu, they're level 42. Clara has 27 ups on chain magic, and the talismen for an extra bubble of energy. Edward has 21 on rifle attack, and Matthieu has 27 on HOTG, yet 6 on group healing. I dominated all the other boses, but Tze Tza is a whole new level... is my team too weak?

First of all: Did you notice that he changes his armour during battle? glide with mouse over him to check his vulnerabilities, when he changes his appearence he gets immune against one "school" of damage (kinetic, magical, normal)

But then your level seems very high to me - and I heard there are certain enemies especially in this area where the difficulty INCREASES when you are too high-leveled (due to level-related stats ore aomething...)

I wanna avoid life drain, as later it will suck too much. I always thought dynamite was bad, is it actually good?

Guess i'll try the dynamite, and life drain, I'm not sure, but wouldn't making Matthieu more specialized in healing be a better investment? because Edward and Clara will be doing enough damage already...

Wait, Aegin Warstick's challenge scales with your level?

WHY DID NOONE TELL ME? Since that was easily the hardest portion of the game, I always put it off until I'd completed everything else in the chapter except him and Tza Tze. And that was just making it worse?

Anyways, you said you had "rifle attack" leveled? That's a very poor choice. Rifle attack is useless, it's only worth spending points there if you're going to use rapid shot, and then you also want to put at least some there. And you don't want both chain magic and rapid shot, because those are both worthless if your opponent has high armor (and most of the bosses near the end of the game have a ton of armor; the final boss's second form is -130/-130/-90 I believe)). You want to have only one person with a multi-hit attack, and even THAT'S optional because you can always muscle through with single hitters and forgo the situational advantages against low-armored foes.

I agree with Brickman - for example Clara may be great in Rock Rain but it´s no use towards the end - too much resistance for a one-mana multiple attack skill (though it´s hilarious in the first chapters).
That´s why it´s more prudent to let her do kinetic smash - you need big single strikes, dynamite seemed to work because it deals much more damage than Rock Rain plus you don´t waste charges (afair one strike contains four charges and they all hit some target)
