Defense Boost

Defense Boost (Defense Up ディフェンスアップ in the Japanese arcade) is a Normal Move Card. It is not to be confused with the similar Defense Burst.

Statistics[]

Names:
- Taiwanese:防禦提升
Attribute: Normal
Sign: Rock
Usage Condition: This Move sometimes activates when you win at any Sign.
Effect: A surge of energy increases your defense, reducing the amount of damage you take from hits!

+400 or +700; If it's your opponent's turn, the Dinosaur that uses this Move gains +700 Power instead of +400.

In the arcade game, "Defense Boost" and "Defense Burst" are different cards, but the only difference is that Defense Burst is a stronger version that only activates if you win against your opponent's critical move.
- The only true way to tell them apart is by looking at their Japanese names: the last character of "Defense Boost" looks like a curved "7" with a degree sign (°) attached to the top right corner; the third to last character of "Defense Burst" is a long dash (—).
Artwork from one of Defense Boost's various arcade cards is seen on the TCG Move Card Simulation.
This Move can only be used twice for a Dinosaur. This mechanic is similar to Attack Boost/Burst, Defense Burst, Leaellyn Cure, Technique Boost, and Elemental Power.
