Altan

Swap — Queue #19, HH 9/10: 60%-chance 50% Dec ATK A1 (the survival debuff) plus 60% team Inc DEF, and a passive that revives an ally on every kill — the revive half is inert on a single boss, so value him for the aura and the Dec ATK. 33% DEF aura in all battles is the biggest defensive lead on the roster. Magic body — neutral on the dangerous Magic phase.

Swap — BENCHED ON AFFINITY. Ayumilove's generic keep list rates him 5★ and his 33% DEF aura in all battles is the roster's best defensive aura — but he is MAGIC, which hits WEAK into a Force boss, and weak hits also block attack-based debuffs, so his A1 Dec ATK whiffs about a third of the time. Use him in the Magic Keep instead.

Swap — Legendary (queue #19) — Ayumi Minotaur 5★: 60% team Inc DEF on a 4-turn CD makes the 3-turn Rage phase survivable without a dedicated healer, and Fiery Rebirth revives a random ally at 30% HP on every kill he makes (and resets his own cooldowns while the team is whole) — free insurance on an auto-farm. +33% Ally DEF aura in all battles.

Swap — DEFENSE body, not offense — sources split hard. Ayumi 5★ arena offense AND defense (33% DEF aura in all battles, 60% team Inc DEF, 50% Dec ATK, passive revives an ally on every kill he makes), but HellHades rates him arena 6/10 and tags him damage-absorption / damage-dealer / reviver. Field him on the DEFENSE team; champions.json's arena 5 is due a refresh.

Swap — Takes the Celestial Griffin seat as of 2026-07-27 (A 5★/H 7): A2 Wall of Flame gives all allies 60% Inc DEF plus a 20% MAX HP Shield on a kill, and Fiery Rebirth revives a random ally at 30% HP on every kill — the direct counter to sub-50% Sky Bond stacking. Buff-engine tension with the comp's buff-light doctrine is real but both sources still rate him top there.
