These stats are based off +% elem defense IDs, so they will be different for everyone. Assuming you use a good Gemini and Prisms, they should be around the same or better.

 

Also more flexibility with what weapon you use, as you have the skill points from Vaward, and you don't have to put 20 more into Dex and Agi

Personally I used a similar build to the Vaward one with Weathered or Grimtrap
Now I use it on my Mage, and as I'm using Bonder just got 68 in Int, maxed Defense, tosses rest in Agility

Exact build:
Morph Star
Gravity
Vaward
Memento(Mage)/Capricorn(Weathered)/Scorpio(would have switched if I'd had a better option for Grim)
2x Prism
Prowess(holy @#$% I need a good Nebulous)
Morph Ruby (too lazy to get Clock Amulet)

Fun fact: Switch between Teleport and Meteor, spamming autos after Meteor, until it lands, and repeat and this easily kills Qira c:

 

Any Cons to the builds?

 

I would say "expensive", but it's really a matter of opinion.

I'll add some cons to the main post.

 

Morph stardust
Gravity
Gemini
Statue/fermion

Prism2x
Morph amethyst
Morph ruby


This is a possible build, and it sports over 1.6k in every element. The only problem is that it is rathe expensive.

 

Do the accessories allow for the use of the Gemini, even with mediocre stats, or are maxed stats necessary?

 

mostly max. assuming good stats, you would need
50 70 50 50 70
290sp.

With lvl 101, thats -200

90 sp.

with ideal stardust, thats -40 sp.

50sp.

with good prisms, thats -38 sp.

12sp left for a morph ruby and morph amethyst.

So yes, you would have more than enough, and any extra points you can put into whatever element you want.

Keep in mind there are better builds, but those require more research as well.

 

Nice! Thanks for sharing; I might try for better prisms and stardust once I get some more money.

 

Air/fire seems like the best two-element defense combo.
