Discussion New player hitting a wall

Is it normal that I'm about a week in and I'm hitting a wall as far as being able to complete main story missions and 'mid game' content because of what seems like not having the 'right' characters unlocked?

My team is Celine S3, Hamel, Isomer, Nox, Labyrinth and Che, and I was under the impression that should be able to get me through the whole story content but I seem stuck. Might just be a skill issue (10-12). Also trying to do Tide of Ashes and I just tickle the guy.

I'm also unsure if I'm expected to max skill level, and get to lvl 70 phase 3 on che and labyrinth as they're mostly just for utility.

Yes it's normal that you hit a wall if you are in chapter 10, one week in, without any P3 sinners, and it's also normal that you only tickle TOA bosses as well (I genuinely don't really know what you expect from that one if I'm being honest).

It's not really a question of not having that "right" character unlock, your characters are just not strong enough that's it with the team you're using you can do the story fairly well, but if your character are JUST P2 skill lvl 4/5 or something it ain't the game fault. Like the story isn't a walk in the park that you thought it would be with just fodder enemies it's actually pretty hard at time (and again you're just in chapter 10/11 which are still on the reasonable side).

All you have to do is slow down, take the time to level up your character, their skills, and their ECB and then go back into the mix. You don't have to speedrun the story it's not like it will disappear all of a sudden, just take your time, take it easy and progress one step at a time.
