So I got this game and I really like it, but I'm trying to figure out strategies to be successful in quest mode. I have the characters Kyra, Merisiel and Ezren and I can't for the life of me finish even a single quest... what the strategy I should be using? Usually I run out of time trying to corner the boss and it's not even close! Then my characters get to level 3 and get no rewards, maxing that even if I go back and try again, it's the same crap because there's no progression... apparently, to progress, I need to beat the quest on the first playthrough, or I won't get the skill advancement ever. But how do it? What am I missing here?
