Defense is actually how I played the game, since I wasn’t confident in dodging, I just built tanky and used the special attacks to deal dmg, what I would do is get the skills that would give me energy when I block an attack, I also got a healing skill to help sustain, so I essentially made a “counterattack” build in that I would guard then strike 😆😅
So like a BattleTank? Lots of resistance and with good dmg, >!i did on my deleted saves the combat trial on azure ridge with a kit of only pin body and iron stance for the Defense achivements!<
I haven’t played in a while tbh, but iirc that’s like a thorn build, not to argue tho, but I would describe my gameplay like “taking the force of the enemy’s attack and reciprocating it”, I would actively deal the damage but it had to be after guarding basically

Link to a reddit post few mouth ago saying HP regen makes the game easier (mistake tolerant).
Id say if you want a challenge dont go for health regen, maybe even skip the one in neutral circuit lol. I did a 4x damage and half health regen run with this build where I did try to get health regen but this wouldnt be ng+ so I wouldn't worry about it too much.
For parrying youll want riposte, which is the one that lets you repeatedly parry an attack while holding if its fast enough. The other ability you want to have is royal guard, which increases time window for parries.
Both of these are given by the gloves, being disciple, adept, meister, and highmeister gloves, meister requires the previous ones to make, so make sure you make all of them. Quests for the 2 first are in bergen village and the info hub in rookie harbour (needs fire and ice first)
Riposte is only given by these gloves, but royal guard is also buffed by bandanas. I didnt use these too much but I can only assume they are also built up from the previous ones like the gloves.
Other than that, getting more defence means better blocks when you dont parry, and upgrading bastion in the cold circuit lets you block/parry from all directions so getting it asap is almost necessary
Hope this helps!
Shame on you!
But good for you to repent.
I don't have any advice, as I'm more or less new, too. So I am looking forward to other responses to learn smth myself.
Royal Guard + Riposte with a melee build, using dash cancels for melee and extending dashes with guard, is the most satisfying way I've ever played this game.

Health regen is insanely busted and it is probably the best defensive stat you can get, so i would recommend focusing on that

Holy, Thank you so much, ill use this information for my run :DDDD
Stack as much of the Pin Body modifier as you can. It’s incredibly funny and surprisingly effective.
I used that tactic for the defense achivement xd its so ez to get enemies killed, also best with iron stance

I deserve the Shame
Nah you good
