BLUE BARRIER... what does it do?

Yes, that's the MAJOR disadvantage to merges. Their DEF and EVP ratings are basically as bad as a Soul Barrier! Which is WAY down and almost rock bottom on the list of ratings. I don't recommend using merges beyond Hard Mode myself or you'll get pummeled with any character that can make good use of them.

If you're a nuking FO, and playing in a team, I'd say the Merges are incredibly useful. After all, the other chars can be your meat shields, you're not supposed to be soaking damage as a FO

Besides, you can always carry another shield if you're worried about being hit and killed.

Since most bosses have set damage attacks and techs which completely ignore DFP anyway, Merges are also good for bosses.
