Keep Levin as far as possible on the other end of the map and try to mobilize your group on the other side close to the barrier. It'll attract the enemies on the other side.

yup. move levin FAR to the right, then use the halberdier guy and a secutor to plug the two-hex gap between you and the pursuit forces on the far left. have clarissa, labyrinthia, and an elementalist all equipped with elementalist oc skills, and move them next to the fallen pillar. have clarissa kill the guy next to her in the middle using her gun, and then drop vortex/fire on the guys on the other side of the pillar (topmost two are weak to vortex, bottom one is weak to fire -- you should one-shot them). levin should be able to defeat the excavator that will chase him by ticking away at him with blast, and when you've wiped out the folks on levin's side, help halberdier guy and your secutor mop up the last of the pursuit forces. pretty easy map compared to the next one!

CHECK ENEMY ELEMENTAL WEAKNESSES! if felius and the secutor are getting raperaped, send an elementalist to assist. also, have felius/secutor equipped with a gadgeteer skillset.

Thanks for the advice, guys, I was able to beat it.  Man, this game is really unforgiving - if you don't have the exact correct mix of classes, you get your ass killed.  I ended up changing Levin's class to Gadgeteer and stocking him up full of berries so he wouldn't get killed (as well as a couple of revive fruits just in case).  Then, when Labyrinthia was killed by an elementalist, I had him revive her on his side of the barrier and, since her HP is lower than his, the enemies on that side began targetting her.

I also did what Prole suggested and had a couple of Secutors I'd hired with Elementalist OC skills, they were able to get rid of the enemy Secutors surprisingly quickly.

Felius's halberdier class is surprisingly ineffective in this battle. :/

felius had his defender skill for me, where he takes the damage dealt to an adjacent teammate -- i paired him with a secutor/elementalist and he just took all the damage and healed himself with his gadgeteer alt skills.

real strategy in a strategy rpg

[Van Cruncheon]

wait, how does levin revive? which skill of his does the revival? i thought only labyrinthia could revive.

[Van Cruncheon]

oh, hur. i forgot about revive fruits. hm, that's actually a useful strategy -- kill a character with a shitty climb rating and revive them somewhere they couldn't access normally
