Raises the Defense and Magic Def. level of one allyDescription
Dragon Force is a protective spell in Final Fantasy VII. It is an enemy skill used by Dark Dragon and can be learned on the Enemy Skill Materia for the player to use. It is a useful spell to learn, though gained very late into the game.
Obtained
If obtaining all enemy skills the earliest they are available, Dragon Force is the fifth to last spell learned on the Materia. It is learned from the Dark Dragon in the first areas of Northern Cave.
Dark Dragon does not use Dragon Force on the player party independently; the player will need to manipulate it to cast the spell on the character(s) with the Enemy Skill Materia equipped.
Blue Dragon also uses Dragon Force in Gaea's Cliff, but it cannot be learned here as Blue Dragons cannot be manipulated or confused, and Dragon Force cannot be bounced off with Reflect.

Use
Dragon Force is a useful Enemy Skill though acquired very late, in the game's final dungeon. It raises one _target's resistance to physical and magical damage. The effect is cumulative up to a maximum of +100% of the stats' base values. Dragon Force can be coupled with the Barrier and MBarrier statuses and does not expire unlike the barriers.
Dragon Force can come to good use against any tougher opponents and the final battles, as well as any superboss encounters the player hasn't undertaken yet, or perhaps the special battles in the Battle Square.
