==={{DQ6}}===

Defending Champion is learned by advancing to rank 6 of the [[Ranger]] vocation.

* On the enemy side, it is used by [[Grim grinner]]s, [[Iron tortoise]]s, and [[Mortamor]]'s second form.

==={{DQ7}}===

{{Descriptions

}}

Defending Champion can be learned with 18 skill points invested into the [[List of shield skills in Dragon Quest IX|Shield skill]], now costing 3 MP to use. So long as a shield is equipped, a character can use the skill regardless of what weapon they wield.

The [[Coup de Grâce]] Knight Watch can be seen as an advanced version of this skill, as it prevents ''everything'' from touching a character, even [[Disruptive Wave]].

==={{DQ10}}===

Defending Champion can be learned exclusively by [[Paladin]]s by allocating 100 points into their Virtue skill. It costs 8 MP to use and puts the user into a defensive stance for 15 seconds, greatly reducing damage taken. The damage reduction formula is calculated as ''50 + ({{Resilience}} ÷ 20)''%. No other action can be performed while using the skill, but it can be ended early by pressing the cancel button. It is even possible to reduce damage taken by 100% by combining Defending Champion with other skills.

* In the {{Offline}} version of the game, the {{Hero 10}} will learn Defending Champion as a Paladin at level 50 and it costs 4 MP to use. When used, it reduces damage taken by 50%, the same as the Defend command in other games. The damage reduction rate increases by 1% for every 20 points of Resilience.

==={{DQ11}}===

[[Hendrik]] can learn the skill through the ''Fraternity'' panel in his character builder in the postgame for 16 skill points. It costs 2 {{MP}} to use and lasts one turn.

==={{DQM2}}===

The requirements to learn StrongD are unchanged. It is naturally learned by the [[golem]], [[Stalagosaur|orligon]] and [[Stone golem|stoneman]].

==={{DQMJ}}===

{{Descriptions

|DQMJ=A defensive ability that greatly reduces damage taken.<ref>Nintendo DS version.</ref>

==={{DQM3}}===

===~~[[Dragon Quest VII]]~~===

==={{DQH}}===

Defending Champion can be learned by [[Yangus]] by spending 6 skill points and costs 5 MP to use. It surrounds him with a dome-shaped barrier that nullifies all physical attacks. However, the stance will be cancelled if Yangus attacks or moves even slightly. It can be used in combination with the [[Whistle]] skill to focus enemy attacks on Yangus while defending his allies.
