Nah, see, the cure to that is worse than the disease and the multiple tank classes genie is already out of the bottle. Like I said, tanking is a binary role. You can either take the hits or you can't and after that it becomes a question of what kind of utility you bring to the table. So you can't really have Heavies be a one trick pony AND heavily role protect their trick so they're meaningfully better AND still let other tanking classes be viable as mega boss tanks. That needle is just too fucking narrow to be threaded in a game where most of the top end tanks are already locked behind the gacha paywall. The last thing the average player needs is another unit to join Elyse in being virtually mandatory for majins. On a per player basis the game is more interesting and better balanced for having multiple viable tanks in the unit pool even if that means one trick pony tanks suffer a bit by comparison to the all-stars. Rolling any of that back would be unwise compared to simply acknowledging that high rarity heavies can and should be doing more than taking punches to the face, something which the devs thankfully seem to realize now. And fwiw, it's not like Bernice and Gellius have truly faded into obscurity, either. Being overly specialized isn't really a problem until you get to black tier units that are expected to carry teams on their back. Bernice and Gellius still have value because by tanking above their rarity tier they're very useful for free players, newbies or people who decided to chase other things with their gacha pulls. They're not always the best solutions, but sometimes you need to take what you can get and compared to Cornelia they're reasonably common.
