Defense Boost

Defense Boost (also called Defense Up) is an item that can be obtained in the Kingdom Hearts series. Defense Boosts will permanently increase a character's Defense stat by one. This item can only be used from the items menu after it is obtained.

Kingdom Hearts
In the original game, Defense Ups can be found in chests throughout various Worlds. In addition, they can be synthesized from List II by using the following:


 * 5 Lucid Shard
 * 3 Lucid Gem
 * 1 Lucid Crystal
 * 1 Mystery Goo

Kingdom Hearts II
Just like in the first game, Defense Boosts can be found in treasure chests throughout the game. They can be synthesized as well, after obtaining the Guard Recipe and the following items:


 * 1 Mythril Crystal
 * 3 Blazing Crystal
 * 3 Lightning Crystal
 * 3 Lucid Crystal.

Adding a Serenity Crystal to the recipe will create a Power Boost.
