Can't really explain it much simpler than the original description on the stats page:
"Your character’s raw defensive power, or the defensive strength of their equipment. It determines how hard they are to kill, either through sheer resilience or defensive moves like shields. It also augments the power of abilities that heal or shield other characters, and increases their resistance to debilitating moves."
A character with higher DEF has both higher natural resilience, and better defensive potential with moves like shields.

Curious about me and the characters I play? See the 'Staff' page! See also the rosters for my characters Samus Aran or Enel if you'd like to see examples of well-formatted rosters. Hope you enjoy the Omniverse!
