I skipped some of the stuff that looked ridiculous, but none of it was gamebreaking
I used a few deceptisol towards the end though

I didn't overgrind at all and had no trouble with Orphan's Cradle at all. I FOUGHT ALMOST EVERYTHING. Didn't use any shroud items nor a single Eidolon. Wanna know my trick? Fang/Vanille/Hope SAB/SAB/SYN or SAB/SYN/MED as when needed till everything is debuffed to fuck and you're buffed to max. Then kick their ass with Relentless Assault. I didn't use SEN once(In fact i think i used SEN maybe 8 times in the whole game). Died maybe 5 0r 6 times in total Including Boss fights.
I had a ragefit about this damn dungeon before I finished, I sure wish I knew how helpful SAB was back then -_-
I did notice a definite ramp up in the difficulty once it got to this point in the game. Particularly the way my setups/gear were it felt more like blind luck than strategy with some fights.
I honestly found Eden harder than Orphan's Cradle in terms of normal enemies <_< Orphan's Cradle just had more annoying enemies.
I'm still in this area, been grinding the 32k cp monsters a little bit. The key to this zone is definitely buffing/debuffing. It makes a huuuuuuge difference.
Working through Orphan's Cradle... Light/Fang/Hope, holy damn when Fang lands fog/pain on the mass of Cie'th, it just makes the fights too easy. Which is great cause perfume is nice money too lol. But I'm not too far into it yet, only spent about an hour or two in there
For the better part of the game you don't use debuffs, its not till spells like fog come into play does it add something that makes it geeat. Fog/slow are key in this area I found. I did not use fang all that much till this poin t in the game. It was at this part that she niot only raped in cmd but her de buffs help...
Don't underrate deprotect, deshell, and imperil. Those are pretty damn strong too.
