For some reason I thought Estelle was an offensive lance user and not really made for tanking at all despite her weapon type

Her thing is that her guard is on her talent and expands each time she deals damage, which also gives her a Atk/Def buff in addition to that (possibly stacking with other buffs, similar to Sonya's). She's also super-heavily based on her buff that increases her damage and adds 10% of her Atk to her Def, with every skill of hers turning it on for 2 rounds.
Her downside is that despite her ridiculous Def that's even higher than Vargas, she has no damage reduction except Phalanx.
Her upside is that she has a skill that gives her a full heal, debuff cleanse, and makes her immune to debuffs for 2 rounds.
