I have a spare S-Tiki and considering whether I should pass Close Def 3 to Alfonse or just merge both Tikis and give Alfonse Defiant Def 3 instead. Is Close Def 3 worth giving to Alfonse or is there a more optimal character that needs it more?
I think Close Def is amazing for every mellee unit with decent Def. Preferably one with around 35, like Summer Xander.
I think Alfonse, specifically, doesn't gain too much from Close Def over Defiant Def because of his signature weapon, so yeah, there are likely a lot of characters that have more to gain from it.
Given the rarity of the skill right now, I would probably save it for someone a bit better than Alfonse, who I'm guessing (like the rest of us) you only break out for Arena bonus purposes.
To be honest, Close Defense seems much more abusable in PvE maps with those super buffed units that hit like trucks than Arena where mages and other ranged nukers are the bigger issue.
