This article is about the Mass Effect 2 Sentinel class power. For the Mass Effect 3 version, see Offensive Mastery.

Defender is a passive power available to the Sentinel class in Mass Effect 2. As with all of the other class powers, it focuses mainly on increasing the character's health and providing a bonus to Paragon and Renegade points. In addition, this power also upgrades the player's power recharge time, allowing powers to be used more often.
