For a pure stat page, salveroot seedling is a better option anyway, beats a tan boar quite easily. 240 vit vs 180 of the boar and 480 defense vs 300 of the boar...and any skill is better than the boars one imo
I actually didnt notice they changed it to 240 vit, but I believe Salve is more towards physical resistance while phoenix more towards elemental. I believe its harder to have all elemental resists at same amounts as physical, at least for tanks. TBH, with how OP tank bt gear is (armour, defence, hp, elemental resists), u dont lack a single stat. Might as well go with something that improves ur quality of life, such as phoenix (best support debuff) or bunny (cus energy is fun to have).
