the reason only few people play battle pally because it is way too expensive. i remeber dueling a battle pally called shield demon. he use holy cross as his main atk, if i go for angeling armor to make him missed... he automatically switch in shield chain, and if i use 2x noxious to reduct his shield chain, he switch into puppetring armor and if i get stoned, he use matyrs reconing... i cant use my undead armor to counter his stone tactic coz hes gonna kill me with holy cross... its all about BATTLE VARIATION AND TACTICS... i cant imagine how OP battle pally is if they got boost up. fyi, pally are made not to deal massive damage coz theres an lk for it. pally is more defensive type rather than offensive unlike its lk counterpart.
