'''Selflessness''' is a recurring ability in the {{DQSeries}}. When used, it will protect a single ally for a one turn, taking all attacks targeting them in their place.

It is used by the enemies [[Liddle]], [[Brock]], [[Cabot]], [[Iron tortoise]], and [[Plated goretoise]].

Selflessness works in the exact same way as in the previous game, being learned by Paladins at the first rank.

* In the [[Nintendo 3DS]] version, it is now an advanced skill and can also be learned by [[Champion]]s at the first rank.

Known as '''Cover''' in this game, it requires the monster to reach level 5 with 35 HP, 30 defense and 30 agility. It grows into [[Guardian]] when the monster reaches level 12 with 84 HP, 72 defense and 72 agility. It is naturally learned by the [[Grendal]], [[IronTurt]], [[LavaMan]] and [[StoneMan]].

The requirements to learn Cover are unchanged. It is naturally learned by the [[BossTroll]].

* [[Bolsterer]] (52 points)

* [[Defender]] (80 points)

Selflessness is known naturally by [[Diamond slime]] at level 1 and can be learned by [[Armoured scorpion]] and [[Masqueraider]] at level 22, [[Leery lantern]] at level 26, [[Wyrtle]] at level 36, [[Stone golem]] at level 38, and [[Thwarthog]] at level 42. [[Crocodine]] can also learn it through Talent Blossoming. It costs 23 MP to use and will take all attacks for any allies in the squares adjacent to the user until their next turn. Although it is not stated, Selflessness will also give the user a 40% reduction in damage taken for one turn, as well.
