'''Defense''' (Japanese: {{hl|守備|Shubi}} ''defense''), abbreviated '''Def''', is a statistic belonging to [[unit]]s which determines a unit's ability to resist physical damage. It is used to reduce the [[hit point]] damage taken from incoming physical attacks fueled by the [[strength]] stat. When attacking physically—for instance, with [[Lance (weapon)|lances]], [[sword]]s or [[bow]]s—a unit's [[Strength#calculations|calculated attack]] has their target's defense subtracted from it to produce the damage they actually deal against this target, and vice versa. Defense can be temporarily enhanced by taking shelter in [[terrain]] types which give defense boosts, such as forests or forts, and can also be boosted through some [[support]] bonuses. | '''Defense''' (Japanese: {{hl|守備|Shubi}} ''defense''), abbreviated '''Def''', is a statistic belonging to [[unit]]s which determines a unit's ability to resist physical damage.
