Arden gets a new toy

With the new sword Safeguard+ (assuming it can be refined like berkuts lance+) Arden can reach a new level of defence :D
His new build could look like this:
Weapon: Safeguard+ (def refined -> 14 Mt + 5 HP + 4 DEF)
Special: Ignis
A: Steady Breath
B: Follow up ring
C: -
SS: Deflect Magic
With this he can now reach 55 Def when attacked (unbuffed unmerged) and ignis will do 44 damage
deflect magic seal for increased tanking to mages

I dunno, Deflect Magic seems kinda like a waste. I'd rather give him Close Defense for even more Enemy Phase tanking and Bonfire/Ignis damage.

As someone who regularly uses Arden, Deflect magic really, really helps and is honestly detrimental to him tanking. With his awesome HP stat, it takes a mage doing 52x2 to take him out in one round, without considering defensive tiles or potential armor buffs. Even a blue mages needs to have 57 attack or higher to even have a chance of killing him. This means that usually the only units that one round him are Reinhardt, Micaiah, and highly buffed blade tome mages. It seems hard to believe with his crappy resistance, but he is really optimal for the deflect magic seal.
