Analysis

Rinrin is a more focused tank than her sisters. She can take more hits and her passives help her in reducing taken damage.

Pros

Has really good stats.

Has multiple attack combat move so it helps with unbalancing enemies.

Can AoE (vertical) debuff P.DEF and ST debuff SPD.

Cons

P.DEF & SPD debuffs ate not guaranteed.

Bulk will fall down on really long battles.
