Making its debut, it is used by Mosquito gnats, Steel Insect, and Scarabvaders in battle, reducing damage done by 15 for 30 seconds, though unlike Defend, the monsters continue the battle with different skills.

It costs 40 MP to cast.
Dragon Quest Tact[]
Already learned by Gem slimes when they are recruited, it acts the same as in X and costs 24 MP to cast. Like in Super Light, it is a spell.
