I think if Alpinia had dodge instead of counter (which I absolutely agree would better suit her) she'd probably become the premier tank; right now Alpinia is consistently the last member of my main squad (that has a full hp/def amped Saffron) to die. That life drain attack is just ridiculous with max skill level and high attack numbers.

Also, if only Ionocidium didn't have that utterly derpy animation....
