Best Jails

Best Jails
1. Reaper - Deflection Capability
2. Bat - Ranged Ichor Drain
3. Hound - High Disruption Resistance

Reaper

Reaper
Scaling
Vitality Icon VIT = E+
Fortitude Icon FOR = D+
Effect Unleash a spinning slash with the scythe. The initial spin can deflect enemy attacks. If an attack cannot be deflected, it is blocked instead. Equipping this Jail slightly increases defense.

The Reaper is arguably the best Jail to use in the game. As parries are not a default option to use and can only be done by actions with deflection effects, Reaper and its deflection effect is a valuable jail that can be slotted to any build that wishes to add another defensive option to its repertoire.

Bat

Bat
Scaling
Vitality Icon VIT = E+
Fortitude Icon FOR = D+
Effect A swarm of bats descends and continuously drains blood from the enemy struck by the arrow. The bats disappear after a set amount of blood is drained. If the distance between the target and the user is great, the bats' drain rate decreases. If it becomes too great, the bats will vanish immediately. Equipping this Jail slightly increases defense.

Bat is a ranged jail that lets you drain ichor from afar. Charging the Bat's drain attack will let it continuously drain ichor while in combat too which is perfect for builds that relies on ranged formae or a hit-and-run playstyle.

Hound

Hound
Scaling
Vitality Icon VIT = E+
Fortitude Icon FOR = D+
Effect Unleashes a two-hit combo with left and right jaws. While attacking, the user has increased disruption resistance to enemy strikes. Equipping this item greatly increases defense.

What sets the hound from the rest of the Jail options is its ability to increase your disruption resistance while using a drain attack. This will guarantee that you can fire off your drain attack to recover ichor on crucial moments.
