there are tons of characters without dps. there are tons of things that can help on defense besides having a dp. Barrier, IB is universal. everyone has a backdash, but certain characters that don't have DPs, have utterly broken backdashes (Relius, Valkenhyne, Taokaka). is your 2a 6 frames, how much range does it have, how about your 5a, range, crouchers?
