I'm assuming that this card reduces 200 damage per hit of a single attack (i.e. an attack hits 5 times dealing 800 damage each hit would then become 600 damage per hit).

If the enemy deals more than 1200 damage per hit, Def increase by 15% is more effective. If not, 200 damage reduction per hit is better. If you're trying to live through a NP, Def% increase would obviously be better, unless the particular NP ignores defense altogether (or insta-kill).
