Defense focuses on '''anpai''' {{kana|安牌}}, or safe tiles.  Safe tiles are discarded tiles, that cannot be called for ron.  So to effectively employ defensive tactics, players must take into account of all four discard piles and the [[furiten]] rule.  All tile that are visible to a player are those in one's own hand, the discard pile, any called tiles, and [[dora]] indicators.

===Furiten and genbutsu===
The most important technique. Thanks to the furiten rule, any tile that an opponent has discarded is 100% safe against them. The temporary furiten rule makes tiles discarded on the current go-around 100% safe against players who haven't had their turn after the discard.

The most important defense technique. [[Genbutsu]] involves tiles deemed 100% safe per the rules applied.  Here, the [[furiten|furiten rule]] can be exploited.  Any tile that an opponent has discarded is 100% safe against them. The temporary furiten rule makes tiles discarded on the current go-around 100% safe against players who haven't had their turn after the discard. Furiten involving riichi marks the tiles after the riichi as 100% against the riichi caller, for any tiles unclaimed tiles by the same player.
