Special Features
Possesses Fast Cast, Cure Potency Bonus+50%, Damage Taken-10%, HP+20%, MP+50%, Converts 5% of Damage Taken to MP.
Lacks Provoke; however, AAEV's additional Fast Cast trait reduces the recast time on Flash and Reprisal for solid enmity control.
Recast times can be improved further by providing Haste.
AAEV has improved Shield stats compared to other trusts, implied by the [Nov 2021 Patch Notes]. This would also make her Reprisal better.
Ark Angel Elvaan doesn't use any WHM-only abilities or spells, but /WHM has Auto-Regen and Magic Defense Bonus, making her a good physical/magical hybrid tank.
Uses Rampart when her target is under the effects of Chainspell, Manafont, or Astral Flow.
Uses Shield Strike to interrupt enemies casting high tier spells.
Holds up to 2000 TP to try to close skillchains.
With two weapon skills that have no skillchain properties, tends to not interrupt skillchains performed by other party members.
Trust Synergy
ArkEV / ArkHM / ArkMR / ArkGK / ArkTT: When all 5 Ark Angels are summoned, they possess a Magic Evasion bonus (see: Resist).
Estimated 240 Magic Evasion Verification Needed, a 50% increase.
The bonus is a reference to the Accumulative Magic Resistance that was added to counter the strategy of clearing Divine Might with an alliance of Black Mages. Official Synergy Hint
