I think that's what I'm finding too. I hit level 12 and am now winning a good majority of my battles. Some good equipment really made a big difference. I got a great axe that gives a 50% chance of an xtra turn when you do 3 or more damage and the Rams helm that give bonus damage- I think +2 whenever you do 3 or more. I've also done some massive damage with trample but, I recently took Stun out of my rotation in favor of a Promotion/Divine Right combo. Whatever there's most of, I change to experience gems and then on my next turn, I use DR to collect all the exp gems on screen. I've gotten some pretty good results with it.
