Ether Protect (gem)

Ether Protect is a gem effect in Xenoblade Chronicles. It provides the buff for 30 seconds to start battle.

Overview
Typical fights should be mostly decided in 30 seconds, so the gem's effect will hold fairly well and make exploration safer on the whole. For longer fights such as bosses and uniques, this gem might not be the best choice, as it will wear off as the fight is probably reaching a more dangerous phase. In addition, ether attacks are in general less common than physical ones, and foes might not get to build and use ether-based talent arts until the gem's effect has ended. This makes it less useful than its brother.
