Hard time tanking stronger monsters

I've been able to tank them while I was Bile, and now as an Ogma follower as well. Orcs and Archers hit me though (apparently some people can tank archers). *shrugs*

It truly is a mystery. I've seen the same bugs and even tested them with Nico himself. At one point, Shadow could tank reapers endlessly (he idled for like a hour and I lured over a dozen of them onto him. I later found out he only had about 45ac and 98 physical resistance at the time (he was idle-farming magic or wis).

I could not tank them for more than 30 seconds without getting hit (fairly hard, a single reaper was hitting 10s on me). Believing it was resistances I asked Nico... he then idled for 10 minutes and never got hit. He is the same god as me, and has the same statistics around the board, with less AC.

Could never figure out why they were so ridiculously bugged. But in this case, the secret to tanking Kvasir/guards has always been to blind them. So, there's that.
