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....

Interesting, though I'm sticking with the Rainbows I already use, and have no intention for overhauling my squads for bloomed forms. So Black Baccara, Dendrobium, Lagurus, and several other rainbows I have will stay in their position of "whaleship fillers".

That's my point Taon, she often the last to die, and quite a few rounds later the rest of the squad usually as she is life sucking with big hits when her skill is activated.

Imagine her surviving all those rounds whilst also returning 3.75 x her Defence in damage for all the hits she takes during those rounds?

woah, most of mine are in line for blooming. free player, only roll when i save up 50. and have christmas rose, cherry, sakura, mei, dendrobium, and saffron.
