Protect (Final Fantasy X status)

Protect is a status in Final Fantasy X. Protect will halve damage taken from physical attacks. Its magic counterpart is Shell. Some abilities do "special" damage that is not mitigated by either Protect nor Shell. When a protected unit is hit with a physical attack, a blue magical shield appears to mitigate it.
