'''Defend''' is a very basic stance appearing in every installment of the ''[[Dragon Quest series|Dragon Quest]]'' series. Upon use, the character reduces all damage by 50% for that turn. Since it is one of the most basic commands, it's located in a character's main action menu. | '''Defend''' is a very basic stance appearing in every installment of the ''[[Dragon Quest series|Dragon Quest]]'' series.
