Grinding is part of the game. You will be meeting challenges you are not ready yet, and you should take that time to grind and level up your units and prince.

Unless you are using a unit with the Gold Get! ability, commission a sortie is better (since it's a guaranteed 3 star that doesn't take that much time).

Not that much. You still have another week to level up your units, and while it might be nice to have the event unit, it is not imperative.

Hopefully you are already aware of this, but do not CC any unit you are going to use at level 30. Max its level first (so 50) and then CC it, otherwise it will permanently lose ~20 levels worth of stats.

Dont push yourself too much for events. Focus on growing through story missions and just clear what you can in events. Newer events requier max CC or even AW teams to beat. As JMich said, your first goal should be to reach lvl 50 on your core units and max affection alongside.

If you happen to start in middle of an event, just try to get barebones copy of the event unit at least. That way you won't regret it when it is your favorite unit. :P I started in Imelia event, I tried hard enough to get at least five stars in it and got her. She's CC70 now with 1/10 skill and max cost but I don't care. xD

Thanks for the advice, everyone. I've spent most of the day just running sorties. Now I've got Katie, Iris, Bashira, and Cloris up to level 30. Will probably attempt Tomb of Sorrow or Dark Guild's Servant 2 again soon.

Since the days I've played so far haven't had applicable dailies, I guess I'll ask: should new players work on dailies up to their capability, or is it better to use stamina to push through the challenges? My goal is to get to Phalanx 2 for reliable affection, but I hear that Monday is also one of the more important dailies.

Monday(gold and platinum armors) and thursday (demon crystal) are generally considered the most important daily´s the other days you can focus on the challenges as a new player

As long as you cant beat hard on the dailys focusing on them is a waste of charisma. Your goal is to beat monday and thursday daily on hard asap. But thatll take a while longer. Most long term players also tend to forget that one of the most improtant things for newbies is to get affection to up thier girls as its the biggest immediate boost for most units. And best map to farm those (alongside gold spirits that a newbie will need many of) is phalanx 2 for newbies.

to get phalanx 2 they need to pass war of magic. that;s not easy for a newbie. hell , i still didn't 3 star it either yet because i was lazy to min cost silver witches
