Re: (Nutaku) Milenium War Aigis (English Version)
Units are only "bad" if you have those better units. And not everyone is lucky enough to get those better units in the gacha.
As a player who still primarily uses Leeanne as my main HA, I'm glad to get Maribel, especially considering I got her to -2 UC and 5/5 Skill Level. She's not perfect, but she's a lot better off than my other tank, Gellius.
Hold the horses.
Gellius is the one of better tanks. In fact, he should be your main tank.
Didn't you see all the jokes thrown around about Gellius? Something about Iron wall, or adamtinum wall. Raising his trust issues is really easy, Male only maps by default is easier to do than female maps. Don't grind for alcohol on first two maps, instead, the third one is the one you want to grind. Really decent drop rates but sometimes there is shit runs but that's part of rng. 60 Charisma and 3 stamina if I remember right. H difficulty?
Look at my attachment for my Male Team that I use to clear 60/3 Beer H now.
It used to not have Mortimer, Christopher, and Gellius in it in fact. And that elf silver archer whose name I always forgot but has a girly name.
I used to have two heavy armor and other iron soldier in their places.
My strategy was, withdraw the units before they die and replace it with new unit. When my prince became level 99, Gellius became high level, etc. And the time where I didn't have Christopher.
Both Prince/Gellius could stay on the map from start until the end with sliver of health left.

Other Irons/bronzes would need to be replaced in midfight. One of the unexpected benefits of leveling my iron/bronze units to max level was that it made it much easier to do beach maps for booze. I didn't know such maps existed when I leveled my irons/bronzes. lol
And my Gellius was CC50 for very long time, he didn't become CC70 until like few weeks ago. That's how good he is. Large enough of hp pool to soak up the damage between heals and gives extra time for dps to kill off the ones pounding on Gellius. My Gellius' skill is 3/5 atm. I used two rainbow fairies on her. His defense goes to just over 1k if prince is on field I believe.
Maribel is alright, I'm leveling her as well but won't really use her until she's awakened. At the moment I have her because of her holy awakening function.
But in all honesty, Heavy Armors isn't taken for their ability to kill stuff. Its their ability to get crap beaten out of themselves without dying like a poseur.
Unless its something crazy crazy like Deine's maxed skill which should be something like over 4k attack for 25 sec?
Max level awakened Maribel with affection is 324 then with holy awakening that's uh multipled by 2.0 is 648? I believe that'll allow her to oneshot generic goblins that love to violate women. While her defense is like uh over 910? Only advantage Maribel has over Leeanne is higher hp pool when she is CC'd.
While an Bashira at CC70 with maxed affection will have 478 attack and when she activates her triple shot, that's 1434 damage per shot. No wonder why mummies melt when she triple shots them.
You'll be better off in long run leveling up that Gellius. And if you need more male units, there's a silver male Magic fencer named Ricardo that you can get in trading post by exchanging a silver mage + 100k gold for him.
I only can hope this post helps you consider Gellius. I have few maxed trust male units by now.

Its generally a choice between do I want to raise affection for my girls or trust for my males.
