This is the armor that increases the chance of Fighter/Soldier/Cleric to be attacked, and reduces the chance for other classes.
This allows a character without a magic attack to tank, while allowing Magicians to avoid being hit. It is not 100% effective though, more like 90~95%.

[Mikan]

Do you guys have tips? My party level already at gold aura max level. The boss is like 1 dmg, 100 dmg for a while suddenly jump to 10k, and 100k dmg. Do I need a specific armor or accessory? It feels like impossible to beat. >__<

Also that stun is annoying, it breaking the rhythm of my party.

[ohno133]

@Mikan Depend on what boss skill did your girls tank. Fissure is physical, fireball is magic so 1600 pdef/mdef for respective skill should be fine for anything under level 46. Also the dog will do laser attack in the next turn when it goes under 50% hp (for level 40+) and 10% hp, you have to switch to a throwaway team for this turn since no one can tank this attack.

[Mikan]

@ohno133 Thanks, no wonder I got wiped out, there are still much to learn. :)
