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.
