Make Sure to Target the Enemy Properly
Make sure that you target the right enemy when you attack! Since Cabio and Salva have different weaknesses, make sure to use the right skill on the right enemy unit during battle.
Defeat Cabio First
It is recommended that you defeat Cabio first since his attacks can land critical hits, allowing him to gain another turn. Salva can be left for last since he uses Almighty Skills, which might sound scary, but at least won't hit any weaknesses on your party.
Use Your Support Skills
Don't be shy to use your Support Skills when needed. The Magic Knight Archetype offers a lot of support; take advantage of your buffs.
