* In ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'', waterbending is a primarily defensive art. Waterbenders do not have the more typically aggressive offensive moves, instead focusing on redirecting their opponents' moves away from themselves, and most of their offense comes from their defense by turning their opponents' energy against them. In the context of the Hundred Years War, the Northern Water Tribe demonstrates this strategy as a whole. As Zhao pointed out, they were able to survive a hundred years of war as the landscape itself was an icy fortress. However, they lacked the ability or resources to mount any offensive campaigns against the Fire Nation. Notably, Iroh's defensive tactic to redirect lightning is inspired by waterbending tactics.

* ''TabletopGame/{{Lancer}}:'' Defender mechs usually (but not always) fall under the role.
** The IPS-N Tortuga is big, heavily armored and has Resistance to all attacks and effects coming from outside a radius of 3 - but all of ''its'' attacks deal half damage to anyone outside of that radius, severely undercutting even its usually-formidable Decksweeper Shotgun. Stepping inside of that radius will soften the Tortuga somewhat, but it's also [[InstantDeathRadius basically suicidal if it springs HyperReflex Mode on you and blasts you into little pieces]].
** The SSC Orchis is a particularly dodgy tank, with a shield that gives Hard Cover to anyone adjacent to it and a combo of high evasion and general beefiness if targeted directly. But it only packs one relatively small weapon mount, and its unique systems are geared towards CherryTapping {{Shield Bash}}es that heavily incapacitate enemies (expect to be smashed into a wall and stripped of Reactions) but deal little ''actual'' damage.
** The HORUS Kobold is a somewhat bizarre example, in that its traits are mostly focused on rearranging nearby terrain (outright generating cover out of molten slag) and abusing the hell out of GeoEffects to basically entrench into a single piece of land of its own making and refuse to be moved from there. All of the damage it can deal tends to be highly situational and comes in bursts with high setup that don't always turn out, but it can ''always'' turn any place on the map into an instant bunker and become near-impossible to remove.
** Harrison Armory's Enkidu ''starts'' out like this, with average-to-great defenses all around but tiny weapon mounts and a useless integrated weapon. But as soon as you hit Danger Zone-level Heat, it immediately turns into a [[LightningBruiser rampaging, high-speed berserker that will burn and/or eviscerate everything on the battlefield whether it's an enemy or not]].
** More normally, Harrison Armory also offers the Saladin, a ''very'' survivable mech that functions as Hard Cover, ''cannot'' have its armor stripped and packs an array of additional shields it can give to itself or its allies. Weapons-wise though, it has a single relatively tiny mount and little in the way of damage options, so it's not gonna be blowing anything up by itself. It ''can'' give you a nasty surprise with its {{Attack Reflector}}s if you shoot at its team with a big weapon.
** One more from Harrison Armory: The Napoleon. It packs a huge array of near-impenetrable shields to immediately fortify any position it has claimed, and small as it may be the thing itself is so thoroughly outfitted with so many defensive measures and so much armor it will reduce damn near any attack (and ''every'' attack if it's got its Core Power on) to ScratchDamage. Yet it has little in the way of weapon mounts and ''zero'' unique offensive options until you max out its license - and the one Napoleon-granted weapon will ''cook you alive'' if you use it normally, making it an EmergencyWeapon at best. And the aforementioned Core Power basically just shuts down your offense completely until you turn it off. Thus, it cannot destroy much, but it's practically indestructible itself.

* ''TabletopGame/FabulaUltima'' has the Guardian class. Its skills are all defensive in nature, giving them increased HP, damage reduction, the ability to shield their allies from harm more effectively, and the ability to dual-wield shields for even greater defense.

* [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ilyushin_Il-2 The famous Il-2 Sturmovik]], was nicknamed the Flying Tank because it had steel armour protecting the cockpit, engine, fuel tanks and other vital parts from enemy AA-guns and a rear gunner to keep away enemy fighters. The payoff was that it had a much lower speed than lighter armoured single seat ground attack planes like the P-47 Thunderbolt and Hawker Typhoon as well as a much smaller payload in bombs and rockets. Most attack planes since have been {{Fragile Speedster}}s with few exceptions like the A-10 Warthog and the Su 25 Frogfoot.

** ''TabletopGame/VampireTheMasquerade'': [[VampiresAreRich Ventrue]] have [[MoreThanMindControl Dominate]] and [[CharmPerson Presence]] to help with social encounters, but lack the Disciplines of the other clans to help with direct combat; after all, a Ventrue's place is in the war room. That said, they do have all the benefits of [[SuperToughness Fortitude]] and thus can survive things that would easily kill other Kindred. Ventrue who hone their Fortitude can shatter swords and other mundane melee weapons against their bodies, shrug off streams of fire from flamethrowers, laugh at C4 charges blowing up at their feet, resist being staked through the heart, and even manage to resist sunlight to become a DaywalkingVampire for a brief time.

** Multiplayer formats like Commander have given rise to the "pillowfort" strategy, which consists of building a nigh-impenetrable barrier of effects like [[https://scryfall.com/card/voc/87/ghostly-prison Ghostly Prison]] that make actually ''attacking'' you so needlessly expensive in resources that your opponents will prioritise each other unless you are clearly just about to win. After all, if you've got 6 mana out, you want to use that mana to forward your strategy, not waste it on the [[https://scryfall.com/card/voc/101/windborn-muse multiple layered mana costs]] the pillowfort player forces you to pay just for looking at them funny.
