|---|---|
  Reduces ether damage taken. |
Ether Protect is a buff in Xenoblade Chronicles and Future Connected. It reduces the amount of ether damage taken by a percentage, after defences are taken into account.
For party members, whether Ether Protect is better than Ether Defence Up is a complex matter that depends on many factors. Enemies always use Ether Protect when it comes to buffing their defences, as their defence mechanics operate differently.
Ether Protect can be caused at the start of battle by equipping Ether Protect gems.
