Battledance Materia

Main article: Materia

Used by Disciples of War - specifically Tanks - to influence the amount of physical and magical damage dealt and received. Higher values of Tenacity provide more damage dealt, more health restored via healing, and less damage taken by enemies. Tenacity has replaced Parry, a mechanic which can no longer be influenced by stats and materia.

Tenacity is generally an undesired stat, due to its lack of impact compared to stats such as Critical Hit.

NOTE: A character's Tenacity value will only have an effect when that character is utilizing a tank-based job.
