Notes
- Earth players can use Brick Golem for tanking when in a Damage role and have no Tank Gear, so long as using it with Fortify Golem/ M.E.R.C.Y. Attack Protocol, Totem and Arcane Battery [Passive Ability] to make it to Taunt enemies and heal itself. Additionally, when pairing the ranked-up M.E.R.C.Y. Amazotron Matrix with Stack Overflow [Passive Ability], The Clarion, Passive Ability 2 - Combat Suture and Mystic Symbol Of The Seven, the Brick Golem can receive even more healing and weak shielding easily. For the constant normal shielding of M.E.R.C.Y. Defensive Module, consider summoning an Accomplice, Henchmen, or Trinket Pet every 60 seconds.
