As for the comic: Cyprien will inevitably specialize in “meat shield” tanking. He’s already a natural at it. And Yerin’s, uh, armor, has some interesting design choices.
Well if she reflects damage then anything that makes her take less damage would hurt her dps and therefore make the fight last longer, possibly leading to wipe. So its kinda logical, also it uhmm helps her charisma stat I guess…
Her opponents get caught up in looking and don’t see what’s coming in from the sides. It only takes a moment’s distraction, and her apparent lack of armor would cause overconfidence. The more I think of it, the better she looks as a tank.
So to put it more plainly:
Option 1) Block incoming dmg and/or heal through it
Option 2) Ignore incoming dmg and have the hp to do so
Option 3) Be where incoming dmg is not
Option 4) Welcome incoming dmg with open arms and share it with those who gave it to you
Given his special ability, options 2 and 4 would be great fits, though most of his training so far kinda focuses on option 1. So my prediction is 3, as the odd one out. ;P
Ceridan is right out – too low INT
Elena – Chaotic
Yerin – a boring personality precludes this
Sora – This Is It! – but with more armour to hide his subpar looks
It’s perceptive of Cyprien to cut right to the chase like that. Was that the whole point of this lineup? Are these then the tanks Cyprien will be specifically trained to outperform? If that’s the plan, I gotta hand it to Ysteena for getting right down to business.
Hey all! Have been in and out of hospital over the past couple of weeks and decided I need a little break. Elven will be on a short hiatus. Don't worry, it won't be 8 years like the last hiatus. See you all when I get back!

The best type of Tank is one that does not have to be the parties tank😁😉
Ironshot
So the best type of tank is a top tier DPS moonlighting as a tank?
SilentSooYun
The best kind of tank is one that comes with a great big GUN 🙂
DocSavage
Like an M1 Abrams?

Is this where she tells him that potions of bull strength stunt your growth in multiple directions?

I forgot to add… he is the type of tank that flails ineffectually and then reflects killing blow damage atbhis enemys.
Invincible Overlord
Get Well Soon!!!
Dakkath
the best kind of tank: Main Battle Tank

Yerin sounds kinda like Darkness from Konosuba, but with a reflection attack

LOL, you beat me to it!

Keep him on a steady diet of sauerkraut and beans and he can be a gas tank 🙂
JSStryker
add in some pickled eggs and heavy beer and he’d be lethal!

Since pain-pleasure are on the same continuum, you have to wonder about a party with both Sora and Yerin.

Take care of yourself. And ask Ysteena for a massage, her hands look to be nice and warm where she’s got them.

Get well soon, that’s more important than any comic.
(I know NZ has good doctors – I had to consult one during one of my two trips there. 🙂

Yerin looks like she’d be the most fun at the afterparties.
Good call, and take care of yourself, Mate. After all, you’re the only you you’ve got.

Damage solves.

She’s obviously a tank top. Or maybe crop top.

Cyprien… DO. THEM. ALL!
