The arena is no longer a house of horrors for Tia, as she claimed a long overdue win in week 1 by crushing Chaco. Her path to victory isn't as simple this week, as Tia has to outlast Anri's MP. Tia's blessed with excellent magical defense along with some healing magic along and plenty of speed. Anri's got some decent defenses of her own...it's a shame she can't have them both, though. Either she takes her <I>Shining Force</I> form with its respectable physical staying power but no magic defense at all, or her remake form, where she can guard against magic but might as well be made of tissue against Tia's frying pan of doom. Whichever she chooses, Tia's large advantage in MP means she'll be healing long after Anri has blown her MP. Once that happens Tia can overwhelm Max's friend with a swarm of status spells, IPs, and defensive buffs.
