Carmen's Strengths & How to Use
High durability with overlapping defense buffs
It has a defensive buff from the Unique Passive effect, Carmen's unique buff Monastir Discipline, and multiple defensive buffs that overlap with general-purpose defensive buffs, so its durability is quite high.
Since you can secure your own defense power, you will be able to use Carmen more powerfully by strengthening your Stellar Archive and equipment with HP.
Monastir's discipline also has an Effect RES buff, so it is strong against debuffs and is excellent as a defender.
■General defense buff also given to allies
As for general-purpose defense buffs, they can be applied to all allies, and they last a long time of 3 turns, so even if the attack misses the defender, it will cover up to some extent.
