Also, don't be surprised if you struggle to get long chain attacks at first. Doing so with only six party members is pretty tricky; once you add a hero into the mix for a 7th, that helps things tremendously. Early on, you also probably don't have a full palette of Fusion Arts (since you need to unlock arts from multiple classes to do that), and Fusion Arts give significantly more TP than regular ones do.
