Automatically grants the main and reserve party 1-time Hold Ground, if she's in the frontline at battle start. Passively restores 10% Another Force gauge each turn-end in the frontline. Attempts to put more emphasis on defensive capabilities, but the outcome is fairly unreliable. Dependence on Prayer to reduce damage while attempting to take all the damage for the party can be counterproductive. Giving enemies Thunder Kaleido just to make use of Thunder Damage Reduction barrier ends up as minimal defensive contribution and actually results in taking more damage in some cases. Overall utility can still be useful but note that it's easy to end up without an attacking skill for Another Force.
