Re: [Nutaku] Mononofu ~ White Lily Battle Princesses ~
original western armor is actually extremely good. i have a level 32 red defense +10% armor i went nuts on thinking "well 10% more defense should be a huge bonus on my super high defense unit"
it ended up being a whole 80 defense more. that i spent a crap ton of money on. it will probably pay off more once i finally manage to slugfest my way through 4-3 and get the purple accessory with hp +10%. the extra defense from the accessory will probably push the defense +10% bonus over the level bonus from the orig western.
Likely, but for those that don't have absolute wrecking crews it's a (relatively) easy to get piece of gear that is more than good enough to last you quite a while if you bother to upgrade it a bit.
Added bonus that you're rolling for it while also raking in boatloads of much needed gold to upgrade stuff with.
Also, quick edit for those interested:
Original Two-Piece Armor, obtainable from the 3rd fight in the copper dungeon gives a flat defense boost(Upgradeable via blacksmith) + regenerates 4% units/turn.
Original Western Armor, obtainable from the 5th fight in the copper dungeon gives a flat defense boost(Upgradeable via blacksmith) + general level x7 extra defense.
