How strong ~1500 defense is depends tremendously on how it stacks. It probably doesn't stack with any percentage bonuses that are built into your displayed defense number. But what about percentage bonuses that proc from skills, most notably Koyo Gunkan? Does it depend on the order in which the skills are applied?

It does look to me like it would be viable endgame gear, however, not something you want to discard as soon as you can.
Yeah the defense doesn't seem to stack with other bonuses unfortunately, though the flat amount is actually more useful than percents when your numbers are only in 6000's to 7000's. Not sure if it would work with koyo gunkan since I have been completely unable to get a damn takeda shingen of kai =/ so i cant test that, the game hates me ever since I managed to get tiger of kai on first box, ive not gotten any other of the super good generals, just pretty bad ur like cylcops and ssr that are worse than my sr.
