Yes, Mio is a Grudge Meister, but a weakness means a character has a 50% penalty to that element. Slayer armor only adds 50% resistance. Which would only neutralize it in Mio's case. And I can only assume there aren't upgraded versions of the armor. So how can someone who has a weakness to those types suddenly gain the 100% they need to go from 50% penalty to 50% bonus?

Think of it like this.

-4 >>> -2 >>> 0 >>> 2 >>> 4

The ones on the left side of 0 is weakness. The ones on the right side is resistance. To go from one number to another requires a 50% change one way or another. -4 is Quad weakness (like a bug/grass type being hit by a fire type or a ruin type hitting a fighting type.) and 4 is quad resistance (like a poison/flying being hit by a grass type.) -2 is plain resistance or weakness.

Mio went from type weakness to type resistance, when standard slayer armor would only take her 1 step along the line to 0 which is neutral.
