So I recently put one of my concept characters into play as an Elf Hexcrafter Magus as cohort to my Elf Witch and she's effectively become the tank(or at least off-tank) in the party and was looking for a way to get some more AC and given her high INT Canny Defense made the most sense.
For more details: She recently had a cool story thing happen to her and at the end of it she got a mythic tier. Since she was already emanating a Bayonetta vibe since she was based around prehensile hair, I was thinking of turning the Bayonetta flavor up a degree and have with her take the Enduring Armor path ability to grant her free AC(flavored as her hair forming clothes/Armor) since it would also free up some gold for other items. Now, I initially wanted to have her take Kensai, but upon review I realized that Kensai and Hexcrafter don't work together.
So while I don't mind wasting just wasting my armor proficiencies, I would like to get another source of AC and since she has high Int. I sorta wanna stay in class since her Hexes and Magus abilities all scale in Magus, so short of multiclassing and spells is there any way to get a sizable bump to AC for a Magus ala Canny Defense? I'm open to suggestions.
Seeing how she's only level 5, some of those are pretty far off atm, but as always I appreciate the feedback and I will definitely be using those in the future. However, I think I'm looking for more "passive" AC.
Crane Style, Combat Expertise, debuff the enemy w/Rime Spell +Frostbite (possibly also +Enforcer) or True Strike + trip, just cast Shield, or use a hex to get Ward.
Mostly a magus is about spike effects rather than passive effects. Playing to the latter is working against the class.

I hadn't considered Crane Style since the rewrite, but it does sort of fill the void. I also went to over look different archetypes and found something called the kapenia dancer that I think can work also since it does add canny defense. Thanks for the help though all! :D
