Divina doesn't suck. Defense sucks.

I assure you, if you switched your def to Anima or godforbid phantom, you'll find yourself in just as much hot water if not more.

For one, While Anima has Amenonuhoko and Calabolg, neither is 15k, unlike Sun Shangxiang and more recently Dragon God. Also, Amenonuhoko's piss poor proc rate is well known and documented. I've never met anyone other than a select few who was satisfied with that thing.

for two, Anima def for events also never went above 15k. You really want to try anima when dragon god, saci and titania is running everywhere? If you count RS/bells, phantom attack is even scarier. cat sith, ibaraki, satori were all 15500, high trig greatly, to say nothing of forcas, the only decent attacking bell lately. Anima has... what exactly? All the 15ks are either 40 apples, bells or never entered shop.

Phantom def is laughable. Everyone and their mom are drowning in phantom reducers, and divina has been hogging the 15k attack range longer than anyone else. In fact, when it comes to 15k+ attack, divina STILL has the lead in card count. If you think none of that is recent... well, did you forget komachi? I'd be willing to bet you'll see more than your share of tenkos and hercules running around as well, and hercules might have the low trig on paper but it will still proc all the time and ruin your day, test it yourself if you don't believe me.

Without having a previsited card pool, if you ask me which defense is safer atm, I'd still vote divina.
