My friend has an Azura with double Close Def so she has over 30 defense in the enemy phase, so that's pretty neat lol

I don't have fodder for close defense, and I can't use it as her seal anymore as close defense is on zelgius and she used drive atk. I'm starting to think atk/def bond. how would that do?

Crazy you say ...

I can do crazy.

Carrot Axe mitigates Fury's recoil 33/38 Defence in enemy phase and enough speed to double most enemies along with desperation ... how'd I do?

If you want a desperation build (which, I agree, is kind of crazy, because her selling point is her support potential and how dangerous she is with WoM), go L&D, swift sparrow, or brazen atk/spd. Her offensive stats will be 54/43 with L&D before buffs, and you could take a seal. If you buff her atk, heavy blade galeforce isn't even out of the question anymore. You could also consider wrath moonbow, especially with brazen atk/spd. 45 spd is enough to double a lot of people, and the wrath moonbow will be quite destructive.

If you want her to tank melee, close def is great; fortress def could be considered (but as you said, atk/def or - to deny more doubles - spd/def bond is probably better), or shield pulse+pavise/escutcheon (pavise will require either QP or an infantry pulse or PA Azura getting the first hit in). If you give her steady breath, escutcheon will be good on every enemy hit during their phase unless they use guard (rare on units with good speed, so you could just have it charged beforehand and you would only need it once), a brave weapon, or activate desperation, and you can add shield pulse for an additional -5.

On further thought, anything that can double her is probably hyper-aggressive anyways, so I doubt double escutcheon would save her. Maybe pavise would be better.

Did some calculations. The SB+escutcheon+shield pulse combo is good up to 54atk (after considering triangle advantage, so 67atk from a lance or 44 from a sword) unless you have a def buff.

If you want to laugh at brave weapons and desperation, add deflect melee.

I use DC, WoM, and a couple Drives skills. I'm too lazy to look up her IVs but she's +6 50Atk/40Spd/30Res, enough to hard counter most blue mages but I mainly just use her to dance.
