Subscriber Poll: Choose Zidane's Paradigm!

Paradigms in FFD are a piece of gear that can be equipped, that enhances the ability of a character, usually in some way associated with their personality. Only one Paradigm at a time may be equipped on a character. Main story characters like Cid and Reeve can obtain multiple Paradigms to use, but special unlockable guest characters can only have one. With that in mind, I am conducting this poll to ask you, the subscribers of this project here at RMN, to decide which Paradigm will be set for FF9's Zidane, an unlockable bonus character that can be used during a New Game+ playthrough.

Zidane can use many of his abilities from FF9, and his stats are focused primarily on Strength, Speed, and Accuracy. He has a slightly higher chance to critically hit with physical attacks because of his high Accuracy, and can attack more often than others due to his naturally higher Speed. He will be somewhat lacking in HP, Defense, and Spirit, and have a staggeringly low MP pool. He can equip off-hand gear, hats, and clothes.

Zidane's Limit Break, Grand Lethal, deals 4x the damage of a normal physical attack, and hits all enemy targets.

With all of this in mind, choose one of the Paradigms below for Zidane. Leave a comment with your choice, and at a later date, the poll will be closed and the most popular Paradigm will be set in-game!

• Choice 1: Distract (1 vote)
  Has a chance to counter enemy physical attacks by applying Blind on the attacker.
• Choice 2: Protect Girls (2 votes)
  Suffer enemy attacks in place of female allies when they are HP Critical. Damage received is mitigated by 30%.
  
• Choice 3: Gamble Defense (0 votes)
  Has a chance to counter enemy physical attacks by applying Protect on himself.
  
• Choice 4: High Tide (5 votes)
  The Limit Break gauge fills +25% faster than normal.

That's about all the information you'll need to make an informed decision, so have at it!
