Abuse that level for gold and exp, choose a team composition you want and go with it. Farm as much bread as you can while the bread dungeon is open, and promote your characters.
Edit: also note this is even more applicable if you're only on ch1 hard mode, because you will only get quests for ch1,meaning more money. Later on you get the other chapters as well so abuse that perk while you can.
