Talk:Armorknight Golem/@comment-4167259-20140325063631

Both Golem and Chimera fall to Jamadhar.

Both Golem and Chimera breach the 5000 defense threshold.

Golem withstands Super ABCD, Belial, Gust Charging, Damascus Armor, and Armorknight Griffin.

Chimera breaches Halberd, Bronze Shield, and Thunderstorm.

From a defensive standpoint, Golem really shines. Substantial defense to block the center, substantial power to control opposing monsters. Chimera seems mediocre by comparison--trying to balance itself between wallbreaking and walling.

Now I don't bother much with defensive Size 2s for my Armorknight build (I run a Cerberus/Griffin/Medusa Size 2 lineup), but if I do try Armorknight "Fortress" (center clogging), I might as well pack both Golem and Chimera for their huge bottoms side by side Cerberus who has Soulguard. Only thing I don't like about defensive Armorknight is that I still need to pack weapons to make Battle Spirit Unite usable.
