So far, Gwen seems like she's really weak in combat. She and Syn are the same level, but Syn is doing twice as much damage. And this is with the best equipment I can have right now. Gwen has an Attack of 35, while Syn has an attack of 58. Gwen does have a much higher M. Attack than Syn, but it's not like she can use it.

Syn is supposed to be the tank, slow to move but hard to knock over and hits like a truck. Gwen is supposed to be a jack of all trades, able to do a bunch of different things but not amazing at anything.

Tanks aren't usually supposed to be doing a lot of damage though, that's what DPS characters are for. And I can understand the jack of all trades thing, but Gwen's damage still seems a bit too low, to the point where I'm pretty sure if she wasn't in the party, the combat wouldn't play out any differently.
