# Quality of a Mercenary: Defense

**Knowledge ID**: 6834

## Description

Most mercenary companies emphasize on offense much more than on defense, but some basic defense skills are a must at any situation. Mercenary companies often receive a giant monster boss kill quest, and it was necessary to protect soldier's body with a big shield in battles like this.

It was especially considered unimaginably insane to go into a battle against Golems or Ogres without such shields.
