Strategy
Now THIS is a battle for the bloodthirsty warrior in all of us! Look at all those ATACs! All right! Woohoo! Let's CHAAAAAAAAAAARG......
*calm voice* On second thought, let's stop and wait for the enemy. It's not a really wise move to jump in and help the Kingdom guys. The Sharkings tend to attack the Kingdom soldiers, and moving in will only invoke a huge group of them. Considering that one Sharking can be tough to take down, this is not a wise decision! Instead, let the Kingdom army get decimated again, and move in for the small Sharking group south of Duyere's start. Watch how fast Duyere gets taken down... ha ha ha!
Sweet merciful crap... that's the biggest battle I've ever seen!
As you take down the Sharkings, don't worry about who kills what anymore. The time for balancing levels and stats is long over; if you haven't been playing the balancing game, then I have no idea how you even made it this far.
It goes without saying that Sharkings can hurt you, so group your team up and have Barlow heal the weary. Keep your FP down with Cooling Mist, as well, and you should be just fine. By the time you take down the trio of Sharkings, Faulkner will approach. He's not very tough at this point if you fight him with the usual tactics of Knockdowns and dizzying.
Afterwards, advance on the Sharkings, but only the small groups of them. The golden rule of survival in this mission is to never attack more than 3 Sharkings at a time; try to keep the number at 2 or 1, and concentrate on one at a time to thin out the numbers. As long as you keep your team's FP and HP in check, you'll do just fine.

Now that the mission is complete..

- You move on to Mission 56

Before beginning Mission 56, save your game and load stats from the Options screen, then Interview. Check the Briefing for a overview of what's next, and when you're ready, head for Mission 56: Ultimate Weapon. Be prepared for a difficult, but hillarious ordeal!
