Notes
- Armor Beetle possesses extremely high Physical Defense (121) and decent HP (122), but low Speed (75) and Magic Defense (77), positioned as a physical tank/support-type Sprite. Its trait 'Tough Armor' provides random Dedication to the team when hit, which can be frequently triggered with damage reduction skills. Its skill pool focuses on physical damage, damage reduction reactions, team Dedication, and mark handling, lacking enhancement methods and stable recovery.
- Main playstyle directions: 1) Damage reduction tank build, using high damage reduction skills to stay on field and trigger traits; 2) Mark handling build, targeting mark-based teams; 3) Physical damage build, relying on Devotion bonuses for damage. Due to limited skill pool depth and lack of high-power same-type skills with matching attributes, forcing multiple builds is not recommended.
