Defense

Hsalf having 8k def. would actually give the oringinal strategy a use- While most people deal with Margana, the mages start fighting Hsalf. Once Margana is down, the other two bosses are dealt with. Once those two are down, everyone deals with what's left of Hsalf.

Who? What?


Extremely high wdef also benefits the classes with more base atk, unlike Apples. My paladin has a near 7000 effective base max, while my Hermit is only around 3800. (both with skills active, since neither class's displayed range is what the game calculates from). With apples those go to 11000 and 6000, meaning the Hermit still loses 2/3 of the damage and the Paladin loses about 1/3.
