I'd say that a good Dark element mitigator who'd synergize well with Ciardha is Keres.

His buffpool is makes him out to be one of the best Dark element mitigators out there, as it grants a mix of defensive and offensive buffs. His BB grants an Attack, Defense, and Critical Hit Rate boost for Dark types, and adds an Attack debuff chance to the squad's attack. On the other hand, his HP-scaled SBB grants a Critical Damage boost, an Attack and Defense boost scaled to a unit's maximum HP, and a Dark EWD boost. Both his BB and SBB have an innate two-turn 50% mitigation buff.

What makes him good is that he grants various mono-Dark buffs which compliment Ciardha's buffs incredibly well. For example, Ciardha grants a Critical Damage boost for Dark types, while Keres grants a Critical Hit Rate boost for Dark types. Ciardha's mono-Dark Critical Damage boost also stacks with Keres' normal Critical Damage boost, which affects all types.

I hope this helped! (^^)/
