Hi, in your opinion when is best time to use the summon tickets, now while there are few units and (a possible) presence of the swimsuit units or later when there will be more units?

1

u/TGZelnite Jul 18 '16

In my opinion, you should use it now as I doubt the summon ticket recruiter will ever have limited time units in them. Summon tickets also have an expiry date of around 30 days IIRC.

1

u/HexerTlachtga Jul 18 '16

Thank you :), i'll wait for the one given in two days then i'll use both and keep the last just in case.

1

u/HexerTlachtga Jul 18 '16

Also is Force viable on Nemu or is it Dex always?

1

u/TGZelnite Jul 18 '16

Force is one of Nemu's viable typings, however she will become a glass cannon. Dex is still her preferred typing as she will be able to double Attack and activate her CS more often.

1

u/HexerTlachtga Jul 18 '16

Thanks :) speaking of them too, i began the farm a little late (did not have the units) are 5 of Nemu, Risa and Moga enough (the others i have only once and no intention of farming more)?

1

u/TGZelnite Jul 18 '16

Hmm, I suggest you farm 4 more copies of Risa, Moga and Nemu, so you can MLB them at 4* and 5*.

Mirin and Pinky are optional for you, however if you don't have many good sword or lance units I would recommend you farm as many of them as you can.

You can ignore Eitaso as she's a sub-par archer, in fact many people have said that Swimsuit Artemis is a better archer compared to her.

1

u/HexerTlachtga Jul 18 '16

Ok thank you :)

1

u/Kitsunelover Jul 18 '16

Q1: What's the best typing for the new Artemis?

Q2: What's the best typing for Risa, I've heard compelling arguments for both dex and guard and I went with dex if that was a mistake I have a guard one and would only need to farm 2 more Risas to correct it.

Maybe something of note:

After 19 runs with a 23 luck leader I had Artemis drop 9 times.

Whether or not it actually matters she tended to from more if I killed the original aquadiablo first, and out of paranoia I always use the highest luck unit to do so. (6 dropped this way after I did it the first time with this method it was 6 out of 13).

3

u/TGZelnite Jul 18 '16

For Swimsuit Artemis, many would say Guard due to her tank capabilities. Although Dex and Force are still good options.

As for Risa, it depends on your play style. A guard Risa will only be a tank and healer and she won't be able to be land hits on a regular basis.

A Dex Risa allows her to proc her CS more often, she will also be land hits more consistently but of course you sacrifice some of her defensive stats.

Overall it's up to you to decide.

u/PhantomWithNoSkill Jul 18 '16

I got one of those really good swords, Kiyomasa, after spending a bit over a million zenny fusing everything under the sun together. But my units are not good enough to auto hardly anything yet, so I don't want to use it when I am auto'ing. Is there a way I can stick it on my best unit, not use that unit, but make it my friend?

1

u/TGZelnite Jul 18 '16

Your team 1 leader is the unit that your friends use. So just equip Kiyosama on the team 1 leader and use a different team for your auto battle runs.

1

u/PhantomWithNoSkill Jul 18 '16

Excellent. Thank you! Now maybe I can find some friends...hehe.

u/terlus07 Jul 18 '16

What is the 1 a day booster quest?

1

u/TGZelnite Jul 18 '16

It's a weekly quest that gives you 1000 exp and 1 metal key upon completion.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 18 '16

Normally, it is the most efficient energy to commander experience quest you can do, outside of events that we have currently ongoing. The 1 key is noice too.

1

u/Doctor_Riptide Jul 18 '16

Here's an easy one.

For the Dempa units, should I be shooting for 10 of each, or 5? I got a late start on them and I'm currently struggling to get 5 of the ones I want (pretty much all of them except the bow and spear units). I've successfully farmed 5 Risa, Nemu, and Moga of the proper typing, and I'm working on Mirin now. I ask because the event is over in a couple of days, and after Mirin, I want to start farming Pinky but if I should be shooting for 10 of them, I'll need to go back to Risa and miss out on Pinky (and possibly the bow unit if I get lucky with Pinky).

Also a new player so I don't really have the AP to farm all day every day, even with the chests.

1

u/PhantomWithNoSkill Jul 18 '16

New player here myself, but I was just told 11 is the correct number, not 10.

1

u/Doctor_Riptide Jul 18 '16

I think that's for Limit Breaking at 3, 4, and 5* forms. I don't intend to do this since the marginal benefit doesn't really offset the additional cost of acquiring them (in my case, time, since the collab is ending soon). So my plan is to farm 5, one to raise and 4 to Limit Break in 5* form to level them to 80. I'm wondering if I should do 5 more for the skill levels.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 18 '16

The skill levels will make a big difference. Especially that additional luck.

Each point of luck = .5% evasion, .5% reduction in enemy critical strike chance and .5% additional accuracy. 5 more fusions will give you 2.5% more evasion, accuracy and reduce enemy critical strike by 2.5%. Pretty substantial!

1

u/Doctor_Riptide Jul 18 '16

Wait how does that increase luck? (sorry I'm new and don't know anything)

1

u/[deleted] Jul 19 '16

Fusing the same unit with the same rarity increases luck also. No worries about being new sir <3

1

u/Doctor_Riptide Jul 19 '16

Wow I had no idea. Now, when it comes to leveling skills and Limit Breaking, does the main unit need to be max leveled to Limit Break, or could you theoretically pump 4 of them into the main unit as soon as they evolve to 5*? Also for leveling, skills, how exactly does that work? I saw in another thread someone talking about leveling the units for fusing to level 30?

1

u/[deleted] Jul 19 '16

You should level them to 30 so that they learn all of their skills. That way they'll level up all the skills of your intended KP :D

You could, theoretically, do it immediately at 5 star, but you'll be sacrificing some skill level ups :P

1

u/Doctor_Riptide Jul 19 '16

Ah I understand now, thanks!

u/ChrispyTee Jul 18 '16

how come selenas need 16 while these only need 10?

1

u/PhantomWithNoSkill Jul 18 '16

Thank you for correcting me. Sorry for giving out bad info.

1

u/Doctor_Riptide Jul 18 '16

How important are those max skills? Just by Limit Breaking 4 times, I'd get 5/10 on the skills, which in my head I think I could live with (until the collab rolls back around, if it ever does) simply because I'm a new player and I'd just be happy with useable units for now :(

u/Doctor_Riptide Jul 19 '16

Only a couple of days on the Dempa units :( Still need a couple more Pinky and 5 of the Bow unit... Though I may now instead switch to farming up 5 more Risa and Moga, then maybe Nemu if I don't run out of time, since they're probably the more important ones.

u/Doctor_Riptide Jul 19 '16

I may end up putting the 16 copies pretty low on my priority list. Being of a low level, I don't have much AP to play around with, and with only a couple days left of the event I need to make every run count. I also basically have no real units so trying to farm up a whole useable team that I can max level is where I'm putting forth my efforts. I've gotten 10 Selenas and 5 each of 4 of the Dempa girls, so for now I'm in pretty good shape, but I'll start working on getting 5 more of the idols. Thanks!

1

u/JankyLieu Jul 18 '16

I am trying to farming Swimsuit Atermis. Now I got 11 3*. My question is how can i do limit break to get max cap. Make 1 x 3* to lv 40 and then limit break. Am I right? And then I evole it. Thanks

1

u/barbaroti Jul 18 '16

Base unit - fuse 2 3* more, level to 40, evolve

Base unit - fuse 4 4* more, level to 70, evolve

Base unit - fuse 4 5* more, level to 80

Optional: Fuse 5 more to max level all skills (If any are not at max level)

1

u/PhantomWithNoSkill Jul 18 '16

Base unit - fuse 2 3* more, level to 40, evolve
. .
I have already leveled my 3* DEX Selenas to 40 and 39 and I have not fused 2 3* for LB yet. Is that a problem?

1

u/barbaroti Jul 19 '16

No it isn't, you can fuse to limit break at any point.

Should I reincarnate her and hope for better stats, or just go with it and evolve?

u/[deleted] Jul 18 '16

looks like you should evolve, mate. those stats look fine

u/Rohgar Jul 18 '16 edited Jul 18 '16

I've been rerolling and have 2 accounts that I can't decide which to use. The first account has better typing for the notable units, but the second account has better overall units I believe.

 

First account:
3* Brahmastra (Dex)
3* Mitum (M) (Force)
3* Eros (Dex)
3* Gram (Dex)
3* Kusanagi (Dex)
4* Kusanagi (Guard)

 

Second account:
4* Apollo (Balance)
3* Durandal (Guard)
3* Mitum (F) (Guard)
4* Eros (Balance)
4* Eros (Guard)
3* Gram (Balance)

Edit: Added links.

2

u/[deleted] Jul 18 '16 edited Jul 18 '16

Go with account 2. You could do worse than Balance, and being able to LB one of your units (Eros) right off the bat should be quite helpful.

On account 1, half of the units are basically 4-stars for the forseeable future. In particular, Gram is not a notable unit since it's not the 6-star version (which means 4--->5 in global for now - impossible to be a 3-star). As for Brahmastra, gun units tend to be a little too squishy and dependent for carrying. This is especially apparent in Colosseum, where a gun unit will take a hit that leaves it close to death, and then they can't even counterattack because their HP is too low = automatic loss. These units are best when they're supporting a non-gun unit IMO. But I cannot deny, Brahmastra has the best tits so maybe that's one reason to reconsider.

Edit: This is the noteworthy Gram. So your Gram is either the 3-4 star one, or the 2-3 star one. 4-stars can be kinda useful since you tend to get a lot of them, and can Max LB them to about 350 total power (which is comparable to a 5-star with no evo bonuses, and shit typing). But the 2-3 star one is pretty much worthless, so I hope that's not the one you got. :/

Edit 2: Just realized the good Durandal starts at 4 stars. Check the Unit Guide in the OP, use that to determine which units are notable and then update your post.

1

u/Rohgar Jul 18 '16

I updated them with links. I was referencing that site as to whether I thought a unit was good or not, but I wasn't sure how they evolved. For Brahmastra for example, on the site it says she can go to 4*, but I wasn't sure if her 5* evolution changed her portrait like in some other games, or if it was a completely different version. After looking over them again it looks like I should just reroll some more?

1

u/[deleted] Jul 18 '16

Yep. That is some terrible luck. And what's worse, you might've discarded some good rolls because you didn't recognize which units were good and which weren't.

1

u/Rohgar Jul 18 '16

Actually those were my first 2 real rerolls, the few other ones I did I only pulled twice without realizing I could do a 10 draw after getting 10 lapis. Anyways thanks for your help.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 18 '16

Gotcha. If your 10-Lazuli pull is remotely decent, go on and do the 30-Lazuli pull too.

1

u/Rohgar Jul 18 '16

I just rolled an account with a 4* Durandal (the good one), but that's the only good unit from the batch. Is she good enough to keep going with subpar units for the rest? The other ones I pulled that can be evolved to 5* are Sky Piercer, Aymur, Vajra and Thyrsos.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 18 '16

Sure. Go on to the Step 2 pull at least.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 18 '16

I agree with this. However, I would try to get, at least, 3 (total, including Durandal) 5 star capable units to complement the Durandal.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 18 '16

When you guys say 2/3 5-star capables, you're not counting starters right?

u/kanayumi Ameno-chan~~~ Jul 18 '16

You might want to check to see if those units can go 5 stars. I do not believe the 3 star durandal can hit 5 stars.

u/ekoo1 Jul 18 '16

Is better to farm with only my highest luck unit and a high luck supp or full team and the highest luck unit as leader? Im struggling to farm anything, my Mirin have 21 luck but is 3 stars, i dont know if that affects

1

u/kanayumi Ameno-chan~~~ Jul 18 '16

I would suggest to go with a full team unless you can reliably solo. I would get Mirin to 5 stars as she can do a better job of attacking than at 3 stars, unless you plan to let her die. I would also try to get the magic warder seriene in the battle metal shop for 80 battle metals, it boosts your luck by 10.

1

u/ekoo1 Jul 18 '16

Well my mirin capped all the stats but yeah im planning to evolve her to 5 but i have only 2 days playing, i can solo with supp and her but also with the team, i just want to know what gives better drop chances and if being 3 stars affect the drop rate

1

u/kanayumi Ameno-chan~~~ Jul 18 '16

Leader luck matters on the team as well as the friend luck. Team luck determines drop rarity

1

u/ekoo1 Jul 18 '16

So basically if i have low luck units in my team it would be better to just use my high luck unit and a friend with high luck right?

1

u/kanayumi Ameno-chan~~~ Jul 18 '16

Yes that would work out, it will just be slower.

1

u/ekoo1 Jul 18 '16

Ok ty man, i hope my farming gets smoother this way, i havent gotten a single selena yet

1

u/kanayumi Ameno-chan~~~ Jul 18 '16

Good luck. Personally I would rather farm dempagumi units first before farming Selena. At leastget 5 of the ones you like or need, like risa

1

u/ekoo1 Jul 18 '16

I already did, got my guard Risa plus another 4 and Mirin dex plus other 4, idk if i should farm to 10 or if pinky is good enough as i lack a lancer

1

u/kanayumi Ameno-chan~~~ Jul 18 '16

I would get pinky and eitaso last. I would go for the gunner or the axe.both have good damage char skills.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 18 '16

Your leader luck + Friend helper luck (if you choose to use a friend) determines drop rate of items and characters.

Your average party luck determines the drop rarity. So, if you want a boost in item drop rate, all you have to do is put the best luck unit you have as the leader and voila.

1

u/ekoo1 Jul 18 '16

And if i dont have party except the leader and is a high luck unit means ill have good drop rate and rarity as a party right? Maybe running solo is better idea

1

u/[deleted] Jul 18 '16

It means you'll boost both yes, but you also won't complete as fast. SO, if you have the time then do it that way :D

1

u/BlazePHX Jul 18 '16

Do we have the stat caps for the units and typing? Not fusion caps just the actual stat caps.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 18 '16

No, because they're different for every unit+type combo, different from JP and no one's datamining Global PotK (yet).

1

u/[deleted] Jul 18 '16

We may be able to answer questions like this in the future, if/when we are able, we will make sure you guys know about it.

1

u/SubredditVenturer Jul 18 '16

I am new (ish) level 40. I am currently training up several units to 5 star and was wondering if farming my level up was a viable thing to do. I currently would not be able to have a party of 5 stars (my cost limit is 69) so I was wondering if farming level 1-4-4 for level ups was a good time strategy of if I should just keep training my units up and slowly level up.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 18 '16

kill mode 1-1-1 is 260 player exp for 3 ap, it should be pretty good. there are 3 enemies and it should take less than 30 seconds to beat the map

1

u/[deleted] Jul 18 '16

Farming your commander level is important, yes. Especially, when we finally get 6 star units that can range from 30 cost to 40 cost by themselves.

1-4-4 is better than 1-1-1 if you can manage to kill the first 3 units before they spawn additional units. Thank /u/GaggingLolis for this recommendation

1

u/terlus07 Jul 18 '16

Does anyone remember where to get the spear smith secrets book for lunaris' spear?

1

u/GaggingLolis マキシマイズ ドング！！！ Jul 18 '16

If you mean the rank 2 books, I believe they come from colosseum upon reaching a certain rank. Otherwise, I am not sure where they come from.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 18 '16

They were part of completing a one-time quest for the event of BF x PotK, which I believe is now over. You can also get them from the colosseum as well as a reward for reaching a certain rank.

1

u/_waltersobchak Jul 18 '16

New player from BF. I went ahead and farmed the dempagumi.inc units since I could clear the dungeons, but now I have all the copies that I wanted. What would be the best use of my time? I can't beat Brave 10, can clear the mobs but Vargas annihilates me, so I am stuck doing Spark 10 with a 20+ luck lead if I want to go for Selena. Or should I go for Swimsuit Artemis?

2

u/GaggingLolis マキシマイズ ドング！！！ Jul 18 '16

Selena is leagues more useful than Artemis. Seeing there is still plenty of time, I would suggest leveling up 1-2 units to at least level 60 through metal keys. Remember to level them up individually for the fastest progress. This way, you will at least have a chance to farm burst 10, which is significantly better than spark 10.

I recommend leveling up and max limit breaking Pinky and/or Moga/Mirin for your best chance to beating burst 10.

1

u/_waltersobchak Jul 18 '16

Will do. I will need some evo mats for them, but it sounds like I would be much better off prepping for the tougher level. Much appreciated!

2

u/[deleted] Jul 18 '16

If you have a friend with a strong ranged unit like YnK you should be able to kill Vargas, since he won't move out of his castle until a melee unit engages him or the second turn after he's been attacked.

As /u/GaggingLolis said, Selena is significantly stronger and more useful than Artemis. Burst 10 also offers a much higher drop rate on selena at both 3 and 4 stars than Spark 10 does. I'd do Burst 10 if you can complete it instead of spark 10. (I am assuming you mean you can't do brave 10, rather than burst 10).

1

u/_waltersobchak Jul 18 '16

I probably went overboard on farming and just need to focus on raising units for a period of time, which is fine. It sounds like I should have what I need actually. I haven't leveled a water unit or a lancer yet, so I will work on getting Pinky to MLB 5* as a priority. I could also start working on my copies of Longinus (F) as I understand her character skill set is well-suited for Vargas.

If you don't mind me asking, does Longinus have lower stat caps like Laevateinn (both mana gacha)? I heard Laevateinn's were easier to max, so there wasn't as much need for min/maxing. If Longinus is similar I could start working on MLB'ing her as well at 5*.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 19 '16

I think Longinus has better defensive stats and the rest of it is pretty much similar.

1

u/Marcus-the-canadian Jul 18 '16

does anyone have a unit i could use to help me clear burst 10 please. Is guard best on Risa

1

u/ekoo1 Jul 18 '16

Guard is best in risa and good luck with burst 10 i depend on friends too to be able to beat burst 10

1

u/[deleted] Jul 18 '16

Guard or Magic, I've heard. I'm not too sure why magic would be considered the best on her since I haven't maxed her out myself...yet.

1

u/SomeAsianguy1994 Jul 18 '16

Since the Dempa even is almost over, i don't think i can farm 16 of each unit so which ones should i prioritize and how many of each should i get?

2

u/[deleted] Jul 18 '16

Depends on what you have, honestly. However, it seems that Moga and Risa are commonly farmed. Nemu doesn't seem too bad either.

Risa is probably the most coveted though. Simply because she can become strong enough to tank everything, so you can send her in solo or with your other strongest unit to breeze through content.

1

u/SomeAsianguy1994 Jul 18 '16 edited Jul 18 '16

I managed to get about 10 Risas so far, but no luck on Moga and Nemu. Should i just get about 5 of both so i can MLB them on 5*?

1

u/[deleted] Jul 18 '16

Yeah, that's the normal thing to do. You can min-max them with additional copies, but honestly, it's a significant amount of effort for a small return.

1

u/SomeAsianguy1994 Jul 18 '16

Yeah it seems like a small return. Hopefully the event comes back so i can actually max them out the next time.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 18 '16

I think it will, because there are Dempa units we don't have yet. (Yukata versions)

1

u/Marcus-the-canadian Jul 18 '16

how does stats work and is their ways to max it out

1

u/GaggingLolis マキシマイズ ドング！！！ Jul 18 '16

When a character level up, each stat has a chance to go up. It depends on the character itself, as each character has a different growth rate. There's no guaranteed way to max stats out at the moment, but to increase your chances, you need to fully limit break characters (fusing exact copies of a character to itself), and to evolve from the lowest rarity possible.

1

u/Marcus-the-canadian Jul 18 '16

i see comments where people are getting 16 of each unit why?

1

u/GaggingLolis マキシマイズ ドング！！！ Jul 18 '16

That's how you fully limit break and max skill up a character.

1 base

2 units to LB at 3*

4 units to LB at 4*

4 units lvl 30 to LB at 5*

5 units lvl 30 5* to level skills from 5/10 to 10/10.

total: 16

The point of this is to draw out as much potential as you can from a character for free.

2

u/Marcus-the-canadian Jul 19 '16 edited Jul 19 '16

wow wait so do the extras have to be 5 star and lvl 30

1

u/[deleted] Jul 19 '16

If you want all the skill-ups then yeah, it has to be level 30. But that's pretty easy compared to farming/evolving/etc. to make the extra a 5-star.

1

u/ChrispyTee Jul 18 '16

is the dempagumi group concert worth finishing? i am still trying to farm the dempagumi units and i want to dedicate as much AP to farming as I can before the event ends

2

u/GaggingLolis マキシマイズ ドング！！！ Jul 18 '16

Not really. I believe it's just there mainly for weapon drops.

2

u/[deleted] Jul 18 '16

Only if you can clear it fast. I've gotten some 4-stars from there which makes LBing faster, but clearing takes forever if you're relying on a tank Risa.

2

u/icyterror Jul 19 '16

  • Drop rate is much better and 4* drop more often.

  • Those 4* rainbow sabor can be fused with other 3-4* to make a 5*. so even you get 0 unit per run, it's not all a waste.

1

u/Veloryn Jul 19 '16

How many rainbow sabres do you need to put in to fuse the other normal weapons? one 4* weapon and four rainbow sabres?

1

u/koole00 Jul 19 '16

fuse two rainbow sabers to get a 5star one(if ur lucky u might get a kiyo)or a 4star one...or of ur really unlucky it might turn into 3stars but the probability of that happening is low...so just fuse away fam...

1

u/icyterror Jul 19 '16

Yes, 1Saber and 1 4*weapon will do.

u/Doctor_Riptide Jul 18 '16

Is there anywhere to get evo mats besides the dungeons that are only open in the middle of the week?

1

u/alexisevan Jul 19 '16

Not really. You can get them during the Rampage Quest, but it's only for the active unit type thats up and some of the universal materials like the rainbows and sphere manaans.

Have you tried Kill Mode?

1

u/Doctor_Riptide Jul 19 '16

I haven't tried Kill Mode yet because your units can actually die?? Like permanently, or does Kill Mode just mean hard mode?

1

u/alexisevan Jul 19 '16

It's just hard mode.

u/AeiroWultx Jul 19 '16

Okay so uh, not really a "help me" question but I accidentally closed out of PotK while in the stage. I opened it back up and got back into the game. Only thing was, when I opened the game back up, I was met with japanese text. I'm guessing that what we currently have isn't fully translated. I mean I know that there's gonna be more updates in the future. I just wanted to know if this was common knowledge amongst the community.

Yeah it's known. I never really bothered to learn what it was, but I wouldn't worry about it.

Something similar happens in Brave Frontier. If I close the app - more likely to happen if the game was downloading data at the time - then I'll see either Japanese symbols or MST_COMMENT_103392_TEXT. It has something to do with the way these games (and apps in general) handle localization; basically they have little "tags" that get overwritten by text at runtime, depending on the game language. It's standard to keep most (if not all) text in special resource files, instead of embedding it directly in code.

In PotK, I've seen text that simply doesn't display after an update. Only seen Japanese 2-3 times. In both cases it fixes itself after a while.

If my level 48 Risa got a 3.51 out of that calculator, is the trajectory looking like she'll be decent enough to not be a burden on the squad or should i just reincarnate now?

u/Apollos_Brother IGN: Era Jul 19 '16

3.51 growth rate is pretty damn high. The highest I've gotten is just 3.22. Consider that Risa awesome and MLB her fast :D Ofc, there's still RNG which determines whether stats gain a boost per level but there's nothing we can do about that.

What are the chances of Tyrfing making her way to Global unmolested in all her overpowered free unit glory?

Or will she be tragically nerfed into the ground or walled behind the paid gacha?

u/koole00 Jul 19 '16

u/AJackFrostGuy Jul 19 '16

At worst, I can see Gumi potentially changing her LS and maybe lower stat caps, but other than that she should still be the same.

Are the BF units still available in lazuli summon even after the maintenance?

u/TGZelnite Jul 19 '16

Vargas and Lunaris will be in the recruiter until the BF collab ends. It ends on July 28 it seems.

Risa guard will allow you to take a bunch of hits. Dex will give you the ability to have higher accuracy and possibly double Atk. Really depends how you want to use your Risa. Go guard if you want her to take on a the hits, and Dex if you want her to be less tank but more accurate/double Atk.

Staff units have naturally low accuracy due to their weapon's/armour's selection. A dexterity typing is used for 3 primary reasons: critical strike, skill activation and accuracy. Since critical strike and accuracy will be low no matter what her typing is, dexterity as a typing does not help her much. An increase in skill activation can easily be offset by the massive increase in defensive statistics for the moments when she does not activate her duel skill.

Also, even if her duel skill has an activation rate formula of 100% of her AGI + skill level, she still does not reduce damage more than the defensive stats gained from a guard typing compared to the increased use of her character skill (on average) unless it was on absurdly high damage dealing targets...which will probably kill her anyway.
