Mmmm, your squad seems decent, but there are a few chinks that need to be worked out.

Firstly, there are various buffs which are clashing - predominately, Ionia's & Faelan's ailment infliction, and Faelan's & Ciara's BBAtk boost. There's also Ciara's and Shion's elemental addition buff and Attack boost to talk about. These buffs don't stack, so there's not much use in keeping both. I'd say to drop Ionia and Ciara, since Faelan already provides their buffs.

Secondly, there's virtually no BC manager or HC manager in your squad. At the moment, your squad could do just fine, since BC/HC drops should be relatively high even without buffs; but these aren't exactly reliable since later on bosses can have things like BC/HC efficacy reductions, which reduce the effectivity of these drops. At the moment, your best units for this would be Phileine and Limilnate, but due to Limilnate's absurdly high BC requirement for his SBB, I'd say stick with Phileine and give her both her burst BC fill and BC when attacked SP options until you get a better BC/HC manager.

Thirdly, there isn't any mitigator in your squad. Your options are Eleanor, Mordlim, and Stein. Let's drop Stein for now, since he's heavily outclassed at this point; leaving us with Eleanor and Mordlim. Eleanor is effective because she adds an extra layer of damage reduction through her element-based damage mitigation alongside her 50% mitigation, but falls short because of how small her buffpool is. Mordlim, on the other hand, has a more expansive buffpool, revolving around ailment management, damage reduction, and guard boosts, but doesn't provide reliable mitigation on top of her 50% mitigation like Eleanor. Personally, though, I'd pick Mordlim, since she's able to let you save space because she's jam-packed with buffs.

I'll give you two squad builds which may prove effective to you. (^^)/
