Thread: Is Magical Armor Soldier good?

skill using marribel at max level and not awakened , has the same defense as a skill using leanne at max lvl and max skill level. And that's during her skill usage. Outside of skill usage , marribel is pretty shitty in general. Not sure why everyone leaves out bernice when talking about tanks and include marribel just because shes a plat

Me neither, i mean just look at these stats:

Thats Katie (2%), Prince (21%) and her passive (5%), which should equal 669 (her max def base stat) *1.02*1.21*1.05 which = 867
I don't understand how she gets 900 defense, but it's just sick ... and add a skill on top that, 50% more def at mere 2/5 skill

In that pic she's getting another bump from Awakened Sherry.

Yeah, you're right, totally forgot about that :v , so multiplying by 1.05 more

She's great. Not only a tank but a mage in meele spot as well

Personally, I included Maribel just because I've heard people say she's great during skill use, I missed her event lol. As for Bernice, idk why I left her out when she's my secondary tank after Gellius (Deine is just too expensive to use when I have so much OP ranged damage in Minerva, Nanaly, Aisha and Marius to bother with a tank that's slightly worse defensively but hits way harder)

Mage armours are never meant to be a full time replacement for heavies. They exist when you do not need all of the tanky stats and want some MR + AoE magic damage to go with it. They're superb hybrids and i can tell i have used the gold mage armour on DMM a lot of times. They certainly fill a good role as hybrid tank/mages.
