if you have international or pal version get at least one person with ribbon on their armour (ribbon protects against all status damage except curse)

better than having an armour packed with status damage defences. if you have pal or international you need 99 dark matters to customize ribbon to armour and some times dark aeons drop armour with ribbon on them got my one that way

im starting to use this combination for armour after i started playing again

hp break of course
auto regen
auto phoenix
ribbon (only one guy got this)

some slight variences from guy to guy but i always have the first 3 the same and it seems to work pretty well
