I actually wanted to vote for mirror at first, you know. I didn't because it has too many restrictions:Not...really?
We've already invested heavily in defense
This situation where Ling Qi needs a further layer of defense and a get out of jail free card for enemy super attacks is itself wildly out of the norm
If anything mirror would see more consistent usage because theres a lower ceiling on what would warrant its usage (situations where every other defense Ling Qi has is insufficient vs situation where the debuff from Mirror would hasten Ling qis victory)
I said it on the discord, but arguments like this really hammer home how this vote is all lizard brain with some people going into ad hoc rationalization stapled on top to justify it
1. It's B rank Immediate action so you can't just activate and forget about it or spam it nonstop.
2. Debuff only works if LQ is targeted or included in AOE attack and only on triggering enemies.
3. Defence very situational, only useful on attacks that's too strong for LQ shrug off this lesser defences and only mitigates damage without stopping it.
Also, maybe you would be surprised but we have only one dedicated defence art SNR... and that's it, we also have three attack arts FSS, UGM and BKSD. All our defences come from secondary aspects of other arts, mainly our movement ones.
SSo, actually no, we aren't invested in defence that much, we just didn't develope our attack yet.
And about usage of Mist. 1hp save that works on any attack (instead of just spiritual ones like mirror) is quit frankly cheat and life saver, literally. But I actually like C Rank spirit damage reduction more. Because it calculates after armor, wich means that sometimes even attacks of B+ rank can be ignored. Tactically speaking it's a bait, because enemies have to use their strongest attacks, expending more and more of their Qi and here 1hp is at use ensuring that all our allies will survive it.
It just stacks in too perfectly to ignore.
P.S.: to be honest I wanted pure debuff or some super attack like Traveler's End collapse as our next domain tech, but alas it's not the case.
