Defense Point Shrines are a type of Control Point and exist on most Alliance Battle maps. Defense Point shrines are only active to an alliance when they are under their control, this can be recognised by a blue light (Kurzick) or red light (Luxon) spreading out from the shrine. When the shrine is not controlled by either alliance, it will not display any color and is in a neutral status.

Defense Point Shrines are tended to by a varity of units depending on the map and shrine.

Defense Point Shrines offer benefits to party members through effects and objects.
