Why Iris and Rex work together

Iris's Withering Bloom heals lightly wounded soldiers with factor 13,000 (15,000 awakened, also cutting damage taken by 20% for 3 seconds). Herbmastery raises healing received and Infirmary medicine output, Ward of Nature gives an all-Beast Rider troop +11% HP and +13% DEF, and Script of Runes dispels debuffs while garrisoned.

Rex's Divine Guardian shields his troop for 3 rounds and gains rage from attackers. Defensive Counterattack cuts damage taken by 7%, raises counterattack damage by 13% and lowers attackers' ATK by 20%. Support Pillar gives Berserkers +9% ATK and DEF, and Easy Reaping adds Berserker HP in garrisons.
