[edit] Final Fantasy Tactics Advance
Defend is the Action command of the Bangaa Defender Job. It concentrates on making the user nearly impervious to enemy attacks, especially physical strikes, and includes moves like Expert Guard, which neutralizes all damage done for one turn, and Tremor, which pushes away all nearby units while dealing damage. The Human Paladin job can also use Defense, which increases the units' weapon and magic resistance until the unit next moves.

Defend is now an ability of Hume Paladins and Bangaa Defenders. It increases the unit's Defense and Resistance until the next turn. There is also a stronger version of it, called Bulwark, available to Bangaa Defenders and Gria Raptors, which nullifies all damage dealt to the unit by one turn.
