You're just low leveled. You have some good units but you can't fully utilitze them due to severe cost limitations. Best option for you now is to grind for levels :). Regarding squad set up just focus on BB/SBB spamming, that means having lead skills and BB buffs that boost BB fill rate/BC drop rate/BB gauge when attacked etc.

Units to consider: Claire, Tora, Lario, Tridon, Loch. Elsel, Rinon, Zenia, Aurelia, Yujeh

Lario is a GREAT unit to use at low levels for BB recovery and Spark.

In the meta each unit has their own role in the squad. The most basic squad setup would have a Spark unit, BB support unit, Dmg boost unit, Healer unit, Mitigation/Def unit. It's best not to have 2 or more units with the same ability because the same buffs do not stack.Meaning an ATK buff will not stack with an ATK buff from another unit. Plus having units with the same role is inefficient like haviing two healers in one squad. In the occasion that a unit covers more than one role, choose another unit that gives out different buffs to make your squad more effective in combat.

Other squad setups like Raid squads are geared towards tons of dps. You'll have a variety of teams that give out offensive buffs like Crit boost, Atk boost, Spark boost, Ignore Def, Def down, BB atk up and some form of mitigation.

My recommended squad for you in the latter part of the game with the units you have now

Leader: Griel aka Elsel 7* (BB/Heal support), Sub units: Claire 7* (Spark/BB support), Tridon 7*(Pseudo mitigator/Def buffer), Zeina 7* (DPS), Rinon 7* (Heals)

Griel and Claire may have conflicting roles but Griel's lead skill gives a tanky 30% boost to HP, stat ailment negation and further increases BC/HC drop rate.

PS. Spend your gems WISELY, check for RATE UPS and consider the units that are featured in the gate. DO NOT get too excited and blow your gems all at once because you'll need to spare some for the next batch of units.
