The Guarded Compound fight is a piece of cake. Twisted Rune is not so easy. I'd wait to do it in Chapter 6 like you said. As a side-note, the Twisted Rune was the only fight in the game that I lost the first time doing it. Underestimated them I guess, but like any other fight if you find the right strategy it's no problem.
