Advice: I made beat them because I focused my attacks on only one of them so when they put their shield up and their attacks got more intense, I only had to deal with one of them.

Why does this have to be so difficult, it’s insane repeatedly trying only to fail, I leveled up my characters in the hopes of moving forward in the game but I just can’t do it. Anyone have any tricks or suggestions?
