Now, if you're not even sure where to start, here's some pointers:
One of the enemies this week, Cruel Maya, is strong against Fire - you don't want to use any Fire on it, then, because if you do you'll lose 50% of its base points, and get only 3 instead of 6 for submitting!
It is, however, weak against Thunder - so if you picked Polydeuces as your default persona, you can use Thunder Lv.1 to boost the points you'll get! Just put "Thunder Lv.1" under "skills", and make your icon follow the Thunder guideline, in other words, make it predominantly yellow. Since level 1 skills give a 50% boost, you'll get 9 points instead of 6.
If your persona doesn't have any attacks that it's weak against, don't panic - use an attack that it's neither strong nor weak against (and follow the guideline for that attack!), and you'll get the default 6 points.
You'll only earn bonus points by using skills/guidelines that an enemy is weak against, so there's no need to use more than one if there's no added bonus. But you must use at least one!
Guidelines can be found at the bottom of the page here. You can read up on how skills work here.
It's your choice whether or not to draw a card. It's usually very beneficial, but there's a very small chance (5%) that the card will be cursed, and cost you all the base points and money for that battle.
deadline
These enemies will be around until May 25th, at 10:30 PM UTC, at which point they'll be replaced with other enemies and submissions will close.
If you have any questions (I expect a buttload of them this week...), please ask! All questions will be answered ASAP.
