First off, if you want to break an enemy's charge, it doesn't actually matter how much damage you do. Anything from 1 damage up has the chance to break it. You can also try to use Cessna or Megadeath's State Cancel move to break charge, which has moderately high odds of breaking a charge, and will ignore barrier enemies, so it's helpful in this instance (you can even put Cessna in the back if absolutely necessary, State Cancel doesn't care). I also find it helpful to try to hit charging enemies with Paralyse, since these attacks not only have a chance of breaking charge due to damage, but also if Paralyse kicks in! Tamanegi's Garlic Lunge is the only stun attack that can circumvent barrier enemies (since it hits both targets in a row), but there's no harm in taking a chance with Caloria's Poison Needles or Kanami's Shurikens. Even if the barrier enemies catch the shots, if they still end up Paralysed, they won't be able to intercept until they recover, and will take extra damage.

While it's true that I recommended Light Rings for taking out the barrier enemies, Uspira and Saias are actually weak to Fire and Ice, respectively. Flame Rings or Ice Rings could help, and you want to focus Shizuka's fire attacks on Uspira and Sill's ice attacks on Saias. I'd recommend the Lasers over the area spells, but you never know in a situation like this.

While hopefully you won't have to grind, some longer-term strategies might include raising FR of characters close to a bonus (15, 20, 25, 30), and raising Cessna, Prima or Megadeath's Talent Cap with H-Events (you can also raise Bernard's with Sand Lances). If you've already done Maria's sidequest, the Support Shot ability you can give her via an FR bonus is particularly powerful. You might try checking out the midboss-level challenges at Abandoned Mine F, or doing the Haniwa Plains secret detailed in this walkthrough, since it will get you a lot of moneythat you can use to upgrade equipment. Good luck!
