Overview
Apollonia's Lesser Elixir is an alchemy consumable in Crimson Desert that grants a temporary Defense +10 buff for 5 minutes. It is one of the defensive elixirs available through the alchemy crafting system, designed to improve Kliff's survivability during combat encounters. The Defense bonus reduces incoming damage from all physical sources, making this elixir particularly valuable before engaging bosses or clearing Abyss dungeons.
Like all elixirs, Apollonia's Lesser Elixir is brewed at a Cauldron using gathered reagents. It provides a proactive combat buff rather than reactive healing, complementing recovery items in Kliff's consumable loadout.

Usage Tips
Drink Apollonia's Lesser Elixir before entering difficult fights. The 5-minute duration is long enough for most boss encounters. Stack the Defense buff with a Meliara's Lesser Elixir (Max HP +75) for a combined defensive boost, or pair it with Freya's Elixir (Attack +7) for balanced offense and defense.
