Juniper will join your party after completing Natural Selection. Juniper's class, Stalker, specializes in attacking enemy weakpoints from a distance and can place the Art Follow-Up field buff.
Adding Juniper to the team also unlocks the Traversal Skill that allows you to slide down ropes, which you will also need to progress the story.
Juniper Profile: Best Arts, Skill Tree, and How to Use

Juniper will also give you The Art of Flow, allowing you to cancel Arts with another Art. Originally, you can only cancel Arts with Fusion Arts or Talent Arts but with this item, basic Arts can now be used back-to-back through canceling.

Before you reach the Castle, you will first go through two boss fights, with the first one against Cammuravi and Ethel in their Ferronis. Boss fights will gradually become more difficult so try to master the combat mechanics, especially the Chain Attacks.
In cases that you don't have Healing Arts ready, remember that you can also prevent a character from fainting by triggering an Interlink or a Chain Attack. Additionally, you can instantly execute an Ouroboros Order in a Chain Attack if you have an active Lv3 Interlink and deal tons of damage to your target.

Make a right before sliding down the rope leading to the Castle to find an Ether Mine where you will find a few enemies and several Ether Channels you can drain. There are more Ether Channels past the next rope, but you shouldn't miss this spot if you're in need of ether.

The inside of the Castle is crawling with enemies, including Elite enemies and some Unique ones. This is a good opportunity to rack up huge amounts of EXP and CP as well as practice your boss wrangling skills!
