Mage Armours tend to be quite nice to use especially against mixed damage of magic and physical. Also great to have when you need a tank that can deal some nice damage as well. I've used my MA on DMM a great deal in many situations. As for being a secondary tank, she still costs a ton so depending on situation you're still better off with Leanne.

Expanding on what Tenhou said, Mage Armors have inferior physical defense to Heavy Armors but superior MR and Jessica's Fireball skill is great for clearing weak mobs that can end up sneaking past even HAs (due to their low attack this can happen with large groups if the ranged support is either not there or single-target). Higher UP cost is a thing to keep in mind, though.
For reference:
Jessica CC70: 1980 HP, 456 Defense, 15 MR, UP 30
Jessica AW90: 2891 HP, 570 Defense, 15 MR, UP 30
Leanne: CC50: 1931 HP, 507 Defense (811 for 30 seconds), 0 MR, UP 18-21
Even a silver HA is comparable in survivability if enemy is purely physical (huge HP disadvantage against AW Jess, but her defense can go up to about 1.5x Jess'), but all Heavies lose badly in offense (except Deine if enemy numbers are low) and MR (Gellius only loses by 5 after AW)

To all the Despera lovers - I considered using her for crystals because I don't like witches.
To be fair, this may be because the best one I have leveled is Cloris, and in my experience she's not particularly impressive in terms of DPS, and I only use her on those maps in which she's used in the vid guides. If anyone's going to be a decent witch, though, it'd be Despera. Also, I never noticed Affection increased her range, which is interesting. I'm a sucker for extra range so that matters to me.
Besides, no point in discharging anyone for Rainbow Crystals unless I have enough units for the rest of the 600...

Poor Cloris is utterly crippled by our inability to cheaply perfect her, so nobody can blame you for being unimpressed. Maxed out Attack III is a decent skill but few people are going to bother burning Rainbows or Gadoras copies on a unit with even less long term potential than the average gold. And she rather desperately needs those SUs too, or else she's only beating Yuyu by ~50 damage during skill and is flat out losing the rest of the time. That's pretty sad when you consider that Yuyu's also potentially 4 UP cheaper and Increase Range II is a perfectly tolerable skill on a unit you're mostly using for her slows and Wall of Magic anyway. At least with Despara you get enough damage output to smash things and have the promise of a much stronger SAW in your future.

Like Kayfabe said, Cloris is a really bad example of witch because she's not CR-capable without the whaling-reward gold Bond Fairy or Time Fairy, both of which have better units to use them on. On top of that, without maxed skill she's flat-out inferior to Yuyu. Better witches are Yuyu, Belinda, Adele and Despara. Yuyu is the cheapest (AW Yuyu is same cost as silver Calliope but hits harder and faster with more range), Belinda is a stronger but more expensive Yuyu that is an event unit, Adele buffs all team members' HP by 10% after AW and has Attack 4 like Despara (just doesn't have the 1-sec initial) and Despara is your go-to early magic damage monster with the added benefit of slow effect.

truth is that yuyu is not that much worse then belinda actually because she has increased damage for being an elf and increase attack speed as well.
Actually the main difference comes for the AW passives , since belinda will have 7% more damage over yuyu. Excluding that,at max level , belinda hits for 533 , while yuyu at max hits for 535
Ofc with 7% damage increase belinda will have higher dps , but the difference is not that high (at most under 50 damage)

Meh, I personally think of Yuyu as a cheaper Belinda (due to AW -1 and gold vs. plat) without the Witch buff. I don't use either much, though, due to having AW Adele and Despara (I used all 4 on War of Magic though, that map that used to be a complete nightmare was cakewalk lol). Having AW Belinda on the team if you use those two though is great (which means Yuyu becomes MUCH more situational since you already have a Range Up witch in team), and since I use both for early magic damage frequently on some maps, having their attack buffed (especially Despara since you can essentially think of her as having skill on from the get-go; 7% buff receives the 1.9 multiplier for her so her attack with Belinda and skill is over double her stats page attack, even more so with AW Aria/Uzume and Prince around) Originally Posted by lolix

technically belinda is cheaper (assuming u maxed cr-ed her during event) unless u have a cr yuyu (not that easy to cr since premium)
That being said yuyu can be buffed by a number of units which is kinda cool. She gets belinda's buffs if in the same party. She also gets sherry's and even olivie's buff.
