Ishtar's Bane

I've got two +Atk, one with -HP and one -Res. Given she'll only ever be able to take one hit, is dropping her Res to help her physical bulk, such that it is, the right way to go?

Her page suggests that but it seems counterintuitive to me to drop a mages Res so wanted to see others thoughts.

It would only matter if she was slow and she had good res to begin with. Shes just not going to survive being doubled by most mages anyways so res bane doesnt hurt her.

And since hp is a super bane she actually has more magical bulk with a res bane

Let me explain to you how this works.

Someone like Flying Nino has about 25 Res and 20 Def. It is recommended to take a bane in Res over Def. Why is that? because your goal is to only take ONE hit to either defense. Your bulk would be too low otherwise unless you invest heavily into it. Which is why someone like Mae wouldn't want a Res bane. This allows you to get into desperation better. But on a broader scale increases your mixed bulk. If you were to take that bane in Def you would have a harder time surviving even one hit from a DC user. And the goal is for you to survive at least one hit from either type.
