Building a party that survives late-game Emberfall

Most of my early Emberfall Saga losses came from ignoring the positioning system. You can stack the best gear in the world, but if your front line is exposed you'll lose fights you should win.

I settled on a two-front, two-back layout for most of the mid-game. Keep your tank drawing hits, tuck your healer in the back, and use your flexible slots to react to what each fight throws at you.

Don't sleep on respeccing. I rebuilt my mage twice and both times it turned a frustrating boss into a manageable one. The game is generous with the option, so use it.

The side quests are where your build actually comes together. Some of the best accessories are tucked into optional content early, and skipping them makes the mid-game harder than it needs to be.
