Defense Ring is a fantastic part, other parts such as Cross Survivor, Survivor Ring, and as mentioned above, Upper Attack, all can be used successfully. In some cases, it is possibly better to use one of the aforementioned parts over Defense Ring. I will say though, that Defense Ring does in fact find itself as the more useful and flexible Support Part for majority of customs, but again, other Support Parts can prove to be just as effective, if not more effective in certain Customizations.
Given the option of owning a single SP, I stand by my point that DR is the best SP.
It's somehting th!nk's actually gone into A LOT of depth over.
The only way in which Survivor Ring outperforms DR is when combined with Tripe Tiger AR.
This, obviously, can only be achieved on a V series blade base, and the quickest of these cannot begin to compare to Seaborg Attack Mode, Grip Attacker etc.
If it's the survival LAD aspect you're arguing for, it's ouclassed by DR again
Overall, it's an unecessary part.
Upper Attack is a lovely part, but again, its ONLY use is with one specific AR, and again, arguably not worth it.
Cross Survivor is where things get slightly interesting.
Ironically, DR provides better survival, and CS provides better defense. But that defensive aspect of CS is heavily dependent on the number of points/overall shape of the AR, which is something DR isn't held back by.
Overall, DR > all others.
Note, Fin Tector is overrated trash that got hyped up in the BBDamashii/OTC days.
