Not overleveled. In fact, I had a hard time against him, even guarding his skills did lots of damage, Saber's hits barely did any damage, he had tons of hp, and his NP killed me instantly through damage alone (thankfully, I had activated a skill to revive on death). The game makes a good job at keeping your oponents dificult, requiring you to memorize their attack patterns.

The "Curse" thing is just like poison, but a bit stronger. Unlike poison, it only lasts like 2-3 turns, and even then it's damage is not really big (though Saber had Rank B endurance then, it may have reduced the damage). While the Curse is unblockable, the attack isn't, so a guard can reduce the damage. Ronnie's Poison skill only poisons you if you don't guard against it, and the damage it deals is minimal. Poison and Curse, being techincally different statuses, could be present at the same time, but neither stacks.
