I hate how he's always running straight at my party with his weapon drawn, it's unnerving.

What should I use the first Formaldehyde on?

Whatever you have trouble getting conditional drops from otherwise.
The scorpion.
I do have a Warlock, Rover, Harbinger, and Masurao in reserve and untouched as well.

Take the training wheels off.
Undead King if you have a necromancer. You can get their ultimate armor in the fourth stratum already that way if you grind materials for cash.
I think the only ultimate weapon you can get before the postgame is (again) the Necro's coffin from the crystal dragon but it's almost 500k for a weapon they probably won't even use much. On the other hand, you could outfit your Warlock (from the Fire Squirrels) and your Necromancer (from the Undead King) before the final boss.
Stop right there, meme boy.
You need a healer period.
Maybe you don't need a guard and a def buff together, but you most certainly need a way to repair the damage the enemies inflict upon you. Because they will do that. A lot.
Weird how I beat the game without a healer, then.
