Oh this is a good question. First I made a sheet to find the right number but in the end it was a lot of play testing to make it feel right. Quicker level ups at the start of the game and slowing it down as you make more progress was the way to go for me.

ikenfell had semi-long battles where thinking was required and i felt good around ~5 so dungeons typically had 5-8 battles in them

Entirely depends on the pacing of combat. I'd say 30 short battles and 15 long battles.

At the start? 3~ Later on? 10~ Not an exact science but this sounds about right.
