From Fire Emblem Wiki, your source on Fire Emblem information. By fans, for fans.

As an Armored Sword, Meg has such a high defense stat that this Soldier's Javelin does not damage her at all.
This article is about the stat. For the staff from New Mystery of the Emblem, see Defense Staff.

Defense (Japanese: 守備 defense), abbreviated Def, is a statistic belonging to units 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 lances, swords or bows—a unit's 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.

Some classes, most notably the various members of the Knight class family, are built to possess very high defense on average compared to other classes. As a general rule, units and classes with high defense tend to be slow, while it is common for units and classes with high skill and speed (such as the Myrmidon class family) or who wield magic to have poor defense. There is also a correlation between defense and hit points, where units and classes with high defense will also frequently have high HP.

A unit's defense stat will not protect them against magical attacks at all. When a unit is defending against an enemy who is using tomes or magic weapons, their resistance stat is used to reduce damage instead.
