Shera is a thunder mitigator that does ST damage in BB, MT in SBB. Bargus is nice if he was released earlier, but he's outclassed now in the current meta. Sure, 100%+ def buff is nice, won't help you when the damage you're going to receive is fixed, i.e., scripted, ex: Triall 003's Maxwell has Rune, single target with fixed damage and def ignoring effect for that turn and removes buffs, so that renders your def worthless and wastes your bc used to use Bargus BB, only way to reduce damage is through guarding.

Another example is Trial x2: Fennia removes buffs every three turns and drains bb gauge, so that removes the 25% mitigation and def buff, another waste of bc, so you have to guard that turn in order reduce damage. Same thing in Raid's Mitzurg, bloody fucker changes elements every other turn and removes buffs.

As for his LS, same thing, def buff is useful in normal gaming content, but once you try trials and raids, you'll find that bc generation and/or optimization is a must, so Feeva, Rin, Elza, Nick, Zelnite, Fei, Rosetta, Cardes, Lily Matah etc are very valuable, especially in the upcoming Trial 005, Zevalhua has an innate BC DC resistance, so you'll need every scrap of crystal you can get. Def is nice, but if the enemy designed to damage to literally to do more than 20'000 damage in the upcoming Atharva map's ex boss Fused Demon Garnes, it has an attack aoe attack that will deal 40'000 damage, this renders the measely 25% mitigation and 130% def boost nil.
