## Objective

Cliff speaks of the vital role defense plays in battle.

※ Use <b><u>Forward Guard</u>, <u>Super Armor</u>, or <u>Invincible</u></b> to withstand CC attacks.
※ When <b>facing monsters (in PvE)</b>, increase your <u>Resistance stats</u> to resist CC.
※ Transfuse <u>crystals</u> to boost your Resistance stats efficiently.

_Block enemy attacks, then suppress them;_

## Summary

Well done. You stood like a rock against the fiercest waves.
Looks like you are limbered up now.
If you want to stay even better protected,
try harnessing the power of crystals.
※ Open the Transfusion menu via Menu () - Character () - Transfusion, 
or press () on a crystal in Inventory (),
