yeah I wasn't even advanced enough for mercenary hiring at the time <_<

I guess I also mostly have not seen that many different weapons yet so I just assumed levels were the main thing. I'm not sure exactly how damage calculations work but I feel like I'm often leaving enemies just barely alive so a little more damage would go a long way

It sounds like you need to rebuild towns (that is how you get the honor needed for mercs by that point) and set up your tactics (when you set up tactics you will "overkill" versus default, but on the flip side you basically never leave weakened enemies unless the weakest one is super tanky).

And you will generally get access to 1/2 really pushed weapons/accessories every town. For instance, in the very first one that you can buy from (the port that they use for the tutorial) you can buy a sword that gives you an attack that does magic damage instead of physical (and is higher +Damage than all of the other swords at the time) and makes it so you one-shot armored units almost across the board.
