Deprotect in Final Fantasy XIII.
Deprotect (デプロテ, Depurote?, lit. Deprote) is a recurring magic spell from the Final Fantasy series. Originating from the Final Fantasy XIII series, it inflicts magic oriented damage and inflicts the status of the same name, reducing target's resistance against physical attacks.
It is generally one of the first spells learned by the Saboteur and Green Mage jobs.
Overview[]

Deprotect serves as the base form of its spell family, being formally introduced into the series in Final Fantasy XIII. Since its debut, Deprotect has recurred within the spin-off titles of the series, often being associated with the Green Magic school. It often serves as the mage-equivalent of the recurring Armor Break physical ability, lowering the physical defenses of opponents. Deprotect has also appeared as one of the signature abilities for Oerba Dia Vanille in several spin-off titles.
Final Fantasy Brave Exvius features Deprona (デプロナ, Depurona?) and Depronaga (デプロナガ, Depuronaga?), serving as the opposing "-na" cleansing spells for Deprotect's effects.
In most titles featuring the spell, Deprotect includes upgraded forms with their names deriving from the series's recurring magic tier system. The following are some of the recurring upgraded tiers:

- Deprotect II (デプロテ改, Depurote Kai?, lit. Enhanced Deprote) - A physical variant of Deprotect that exclusively appears in Final Fantasy XIII-2 as a Saboteur monster-exclusive ability. It reduces a foe's physical resistance and deals heavy physical damage.
