Gustave has great supporting skills like Powerful and Marking Shot. This sets his allies up to deal increased damage on their turn. Lune inflicts Burn through her basic attacks and Skills which deal decent damage and set Maelle up.
Maelle deals a lot of damage when her Percee Skill hits Marked targets and she can also inflict Fire Vulnerability using her Degagement Skill. For the turn order, Gustave should go first followed by Lune and then Maelle.

Mark Your Opponents

Dodge And Parry Perfectly
Gustave gains Charges not only when he attacks but also when he dodges and parries. Doing perfect dodges and parries allows you to get your Overcharge much sooner rather than just relying on attacks.
