I'm not sure on specifics, but you really should get Mikael and Laberd up to 7*s if you want to branch out into harder content. It's always good to have options for different team compositions.

Dolk is amazing, but Laberd's LS is fantastic for reducing damage, and once you start doing raids for drops, you're really going to want Mikael as an option for his single target SBB. Not to mention, Grand Quest and later Trials usually requires multiple teams, so multiple mitigators is pretty essential. At the very least, you want Mikael at 6*s for survivability (and you'll want to get his sphere eventually, which can be tough since his Raid path is kinda merciless at lower levels. Dolk would be handy, but Laberd might be better for sustaining BB with his BC on hit.)

Aside from that, you actually have some really good units. The only thing you seem to be low on are status cleansers/nullifiers. Allanon is fantastic, but he's all you have, besides a few with LS block (Piany and Mikael.) LS null is very useful, but they are blocked sometimes by certain really hard bosses, so they can't always be relied on. And sometimes you just really, really need a different LS, so having someone with BB/SBB cleanse/null is essential.

You'll also want HoT, which Quartz and Vermillion can give you (as well as Elza's 7* and you may have a few more units with it...)

As far as Frontier Hunter goes, you need as much damage as possible. It's much easier once you can field all 7* units. I'd work on getting your cost up between now and the next FH, at least as much as you feasibly can. It'll allow you to field your best units and more of them.

Anyway, the most important buffs there are Spark damage, Crit Rate, Crit Damage, Attack, and Attack Conversion. Terminus will be much harder at lower levels, so mitigation and status cleanse/null are highly recommended for it, as well as anything to help fill BB gauges. But what you really want are spark blankets. Elza should be very handy, since she's a spark blanket, but Zedus might be better for the crit buffs and efficiency of combining Crit with Spark (plus his sphere is super easy to get.) Rouche could be used instead for crit, especially if Allanon has trouble sustaining his BB, but his attack is harder to spark with if he goes first.

Might add more later.
