Last Line of Defense

Last Line of Defense is one of 's Battle Skills in Xenoblade Chronicles 2. It reduces all received around Newt by 20% to 40%.

Overview
Last Line of Defense's description is somewhat incomplete - and even the Japanese version isn't very clear about this. The 5m radius is drawn around Newt, not her foes. This means that her Driver will always see reduced damage, as well as any party member being nearby. This makes it a much more powerful defensive skill than it may seem at first sight, especially if all nodes have been unlocked.
