Effect
Performing an attack with a weapon equipped will cause all damage to the user to be reduced to 70% until their next turn.

Works great with the Berserker's Vent Fury

Vent Fury reduces the user's defense by 30% due to the Berserk ailment. With Defense Offence, you can mitigate the armor penalty and still gain a flat damage buff!
