Solid Defence

Solid Defence is the third skill in 's Perseverance skill branch. It grants a 75% chance that starting a battle will boost her physical defence by 20% for 30 seconds.

Overview
As a percentage-based boost, the usefulness of this skill is proportional to how much defence the character already has. For Sharla, this is unlikely to be much in early-game, but can be rather substantial in late-game. For people like Reyn, it's a lot stronger, though it does wear off if the fight goes on for too long. As a result it's not worth linking (even though it's cheap) if it's known that a long fight is coming soon.
