The ultimate Tank Build
As you may know, Fortress Res is a very, mediocre Sacred Seal, and I had the same problem I had with the other mediocre seals. What the hell do I do with this now, I thought to myself. It turns out that, there's a particular Armor unit that already suffers from low atk, and giving it a double fortress makes it a monster.
Here's the build
Sheena (IV's can vary, best is -spd +res)
Slaying Axe+ (+atk or +def/res if u want more bulk)
Swap
Ignis/Glacies
Fortress Def 3
Quick Riposte 3
Armor Buff or other C Skill
Fortress Res 3
With my choice of IV's(+res -spd) and at 5 stars she hits
HP: 50
ATK: 40
SPD: 22
Def: 41
Res: 41
And at 4 star +10 (for those arena goers that don't wanna waste alot of feathers on 5 star merges RN) she reaches
HP: 51
ATK: 42
SPD: 24
DEF: 43
Res: 42
This is a monster of a def build, and this is without running a full Ward Armor team, in which case her def/res will reach 55/54(4 star +10) and 53/53 (5 star no merges)respectively.
Any opinions would be super cool, since this is the first use I have found for Fortress Res. And it sounds like it would be a nightmare to kill in arena if you fight a full ward armor/Rally Def/Res team in top tier.

Really? I always found them kinda inferior to other stat boosting skills(Fury comes to mind hella quick). The only unit I've ever had with Fortress Def is beruka because, just like Sheena, her atk is barely existant. But then again, my taste in skills isn't always the best when it comes to builds XD
They suffer from the same thing that skills like Spurs suffer from, which is there being arguably better skills.
Why use Spur Attack 3 when you can use Drive Attack 2? Sure, spurs offer 1 point more in the stat, but the positioning almost makes it not worth using it for a lot of teams since you have to keep the units so close together a lot of the time to benefit off of it.
Then there's the thing of not all units benefiting from it. People put Fortress Defense on Lukas, which is -3 attack and +5 defense, while I use Defense +3 because he actually benefits from the attack, in my opinion, so if he can't, for whatever reason, not proc Ignis/Bonfire, then he can rely on his attack stat to also deal damage instead of solely relying on special triggers.
One of those "There's a time and a place for everything" scenarios. Fortress Def/Res are useful, but only on specific units, and only for specific builds.
Definitely interesting to say the least. One tip would be to give her either renewal or guard for her b slot to focus on her tanking stuff, her offense is low already so quick riposte won’t help much other than triggering specials more, but she already is slaying axe for that. Idk how the build as a whole stands up in terms of viability but if were to get better I think the b slot would help
Hell yeah, some Sheena love! This is how my own is built-up, and I knew the moment I saw the Fortress Res seal that that would get slapped on this gal. Don't actually own it yet (IRL responsibilities keeping me very behind on TT), so ignore the Deflect Missile that's there after... I don't actually know why. Probably switched seals at some point with another char.
