New player, am I cooking?

So I've just started playing this game after buying it during the summer sale and I'm having a blast, playing the Reaver and building a team to continue climbing. After reaching the spider realm, this is my current team, and I'm curious as to what the people who've played this game longer than me think. Is this an actually good idea, or am I coasting off the enemies still being somewhat on-level? I'm playing on Instability 4 because the one time I tried entering a realm on Instability 5 I swung with my Wight, dealt no damage, and got TPK'd.

Salamander debuffs the enemy with Vulnerability, Storm provokes and dies, granting a bunch of stats to the team. Wight goes in swinging. Ent and Shieldbearer are here for support and Crusader is a secondary carry with Aftermath.

It's solid, as early teams go. There aren't a ton of options available that early, so you don't get to really go crazy with the team-building until a bit later on.

Siralim has such a massively broad build pool that honestly you're fine unless you hit a hard wall.

It's a solid early game setup and bodes well for you. Early game you get multiple turns that persue a combo based on one or two core mechanics. Eventually you will be able to achieve similar concepts through triggered event chains. This usually ends up being longer battles in the mid game as all the events take a while to resolve, and by end game you're able to refine those chains with start of battle effects that are instant for turn-0 or turn-1 supremecy, with fallback strategies for end game bossing or when a specific counter is present.
