Less than week old player here. Need some guidance.
I'm playing this casually. Right now I mainly want to see through the story but cannot make any further progress because of lack of strong units and/or a cohesive team. My current team consists of Warrior of light, Rikku, Exdeath (6 star), cloud of darkness, and fina (5 star). The 6 stars are enhanced to 40s and 5 stars to 60s.My other 5 star units include Ashe, Vaan, Kefka, and Ace. Soliel, king, and firion are potential 6 star units that I haven't touched at all.
I'm currently at Dirnado and at this juncture the story bosses are wiping my team except for warrior of light and rikku. And these two survive until I run out of mp for them to continue doing dmg and revive the team back. Sometimes with the right friend helper I clear out a map like it's nothing. The notification of triggering elemental chain pops up when I do massive dmg but I don't have a good grasp of how this chain is getting triggered. What is the best team setup for me to see through the story? Any suggestions are appreciated.

weren't you playing like dragon blaze or fwt?
anyway...
wol and rikku are beastly unit when properly geared..
ace is serviceable, but will require some investment..
exdeath.. well if you have ace, you will soon drop him..
as of now i would invest into
wol (tank)
rikku (healer)
ashe (damage//support)
ace (damage// mana battery // elemental debuffer)
?? (for now exdeath, as you will be able to spam elemental spells with three mage, but as you get more gear, firion is a better fit for this spot)
the only issue i see with your currently available units is that you have a lot of mages dps//dps-y support but little melee horsepower..
unfortunately as is, ffbe global is not friendly on mages, so you will have an harsh start, but ultimately once you drop a few more units stuff will even out a bit..
notably a good 4* phys dps is chizuru if you manage to get her, as her tmr is also quite good..
the good part.. you have one of the best tank (wol) and a godly healer (rikku).. try to pour all your LB pots (item that will boost her limit burst level) into rikku
my advice is that you start by adding exivius gaf as friends and let us plough through the things for you..
Lot of exivius gaffer have strong units that can carry you through elt content (i can share a close to bis olive, missing like 30 atk from bis), or some "niche" builds that can carry you through content that will give you a VERY nice early boost (e.g. valentus and tuffymon can carry you through some trial like espers and gilgamesh to get some stuff which will serve you for a LONG time)..
just drop your ffbe global id and we can add you
second level of advice: the pulling..
this games has its own downside in the abysmall rate for the "proper" 5* natural characters..
the current banners are
1) ffbe stuff: is quite lackluster, as the "main" draw was lunera that turned out a poor "unenhanced ramza" upgrade, but unenhanced ramza is terrible so no dice here
2) ffxii stuff: you already have ashe... rasler is only good for his tmr, rest is un-necessary... you can technically do a few pulls in the ffxii banner for zagrabonzo-whateverhe'scalled, but i would rather pool your resources and hope to get something in the upcoming nier automata banner..
learn a lesson from us f2p.. you don't chase a 5*, you hope to get something decent (for tmr) and if a 5* comes, it's an added value
don't chase the 5* unless you're a whale, as valentus has proven over and over, a lot of the content can be beaten with the proper 4* units setup
