Re: (Nutaku) Milenium War Aigis (English Version)
His skill is worthless, because all the units you can get to max it out are only available via the Shrine. So the only chance to get a lot out of him is to gamble a lot of SCs. And considering how many units are tied to the shrine and how few units feature the higher Increase Defense skills, maxing his skill is highly improbable.
Secondly, I have other units that I bring to tank magical damage. I don't expect magical tanking out of my tanks.
Third, getting his affection bonuses is a pain in the ass. You only occasionally get the booze items for that, making him a more general pain to max affection/trust on. Maribel is much easier to max out.
Fourth, lowering his UC. Since he's so rare and hard to get, he, like every other premium unit, is very difficult to min-cost. Maribel, as an event unit, is much easier to max out her stats, max her affection, skill, and min-cost her UC. Right now, she is a 5/5 skill and -2 UC for me, putting her in a better position than Gellius, where I can use her more often, due to lower UC, and get more use out of her, thanks to her maxed out skill.
Finally, we're comparing potential VS actual use. As someone with a very basic CC'd Gellius, NONE of his potential is realized. And as someone with very few HAs, I can't afford to Awaken both Gellius and Maribel. I have to think carefully about whom I will Awaken and I'm currently leaning towards Maribel, simply because she's in a much better position than Gellius currently is. Also, while Gellius does get that +10 MR at awakening, Maribel gets the potentially more useful Miracle Shield, which is a 15% chance to ignore all damage.
It's easy to say that Gellius is the better unit, when maxed out. Sure, that's plain to see. But I have to consider what I have access to and the reality is that I, currently, cannot use Gellius to his best potential. As is, I won't even be able to Awaken Maribel for a long, long time. I simply don't have enough CC'd HAs and the like to spare, since what few HA spares I have will likely go to CCing Maribel, then I'll need to hope to get more so I can Awaken her. I also need to affection grind her to 100% to get the most I can out of her.
Let me be explicitly honest here. In his basic form, Gellius isn't good as compared to a nearly perfect Maribel. Once I get Gellius to his potential, sure, I'll use him instead of her as my main HA. But, for now, that's something to shoot for, but currently out of my reach.
