A character can be weak in some aspects, strong in others. You can also create custom Spells or Techniques as stand-in for unique powers.
In general, a party of four new heroes can defeat up to 4 fully weak enemies or 2 fully average enemies within 3-4 turns but face tough challenge with one strong adversary plus a minion. Defeating more capable creatures is only possible after the party has spent considerable XP—around 18-21 XP for powerful creatures, or at least 36 for truly monstrous ones. Note that enemies rarely attack alone, or fairly.
