We always say, use Icepick for High Def monsters while [4] MG otherwise, but how high is high-def? What would actually be the Def figures when we say high-Def?

I tried comparing Ice Pick [AK] with MG [3x Titan, 1 Strouf] on Devil Tower MVP (166 Def), and it seems MG still wins. So I guess around 200 Def?
Main Hand was +7 FQL [2xAK] with Aspersio buff

It depends on each one of the MVPs, not only their DEF, but if all the racial/element/size cards are avaiable to be used against them. Also have to consider if any other gear gives partial def ignore( like kvm weapons).
Not to forget in some cases Ice Pick might be better on the mainhand, but thats mainly if the mvp has both a good def+ is Large size.
So when do you use Ice Pick on the Mainhand? Do you have a certain def value in mind on when IP becomes more viable as opposed to other mainhand daggers (i.e. +9 Double AK FQL)?
Do we also consider soft def? or just look at the hard def?

OGH First MVP Root
+9 Icepick main hand with +10 MG 2 Strouf Cards and 2 Kaho cards

I always did like the number 200, but a bit more than that is best

IMO the size mod is just as or more important than the defense value when using a high wATK weapon with a multitude of % mods, though something like Valk, Ifrit, Root, Tao, Vesper, TG, Detard, Gopinch, etc. are ideal in that they have 350+ hard def and are also large sized.

So for MVPs with High Def + Large Size using an Ice Pick on the mainhand is better, and a combination of racial/element/size on the offhand? Is that right? From videos I've seen I have observed that for High Def + Large Size MVPs IP on mainhand and racial/element/size combination on offhand yields good damage. But what if I use a 4x AK on the offhand with Ice Pick on the mainhand against High Def + Large Size MVPs? Will I still get good results or anywhere near to that of the earlier set-up?

Quad AK would work fine too, it'd be "less optimal" but it also would mean you'd need less offhand daggers.
Assuming your main hand icepick isn't slotted, just looking at left hand, the question becomes how to juggle the various 25%, 20%, and 20% modifiers keeping in mind that any general mods like RWC ring atk % stacks additively with the AK, and that Bako tats would stack additively with size cards, etc.
Let's assume you're naked and just using the two daggers.
4x AK = 2x your ATK
2x AK + 2x Racial = 1.5 x 1.4 = 2.1x your ATK
2x AK + 2x Element = 1.5 x 1.4 = 2.1x your ATK
2x AK + 1x Racial + 1x Element = 1.5 x 1.2 x 1.2 = 2.16 your ATK
1x AK + 2x Racial + 1x Eelment = 1.25 x 1.4 x 1.2 = 2.1 your ATK
1x AK + 1x Racial + 2x Eelment = 1.25 x 1.2 x 1.4 = 2.1 your ATK
.......on and on. The goal with multiplying values isn't to have one value be higher than the others, but to have them be equally high. So 1.25 x 1.25 > 1.3 x 1.2.
IMO, I'd just do a quad AK and be done with it. The White Knightage card will be great because it's a size mod (so multiplies, doesn't add) and it's 20% to both large and medium which nearly all MVPs are. Also, +15 atk which is great.

I thought it increases 7% atk on all sizes? In that case, lump it in with general atk %. Rest of the junk still stands.
