===Four-Point Circles===

{{anchor|Ballintain Defense}}

;Ballintain Defense: A basic and easy to set up defense, that however lacks much internal support.{{ref|b|rith|c|1}} This defense features two Lines of Forbiddance, each connecting two adjacent bind points. There are also two circular Lines of Warding at two of the bindpoints opposite of each other. Finally there is a defensive chalkling bound to one of the remaining bindpoints. A popular defense based on the four-point circle, it is ideal for more offensive Rithmatists.{{ref|name=ballintain|Ballintain Defense Illustration}}

{{anchor|Sumsion Defense}}

;Sumsion Defense: A defense characterized by a long Line of Forbiddance that lies tangent to its front bindpoint. A circle with a Mark's cross is also bound to this bindpoint opposite of the main Line of Warding. Defensive chalklings can be bound to the two bindpoints on either side. The rear bindpoint has a line running across it, perpendicular to the curve, to help anchor it.{{ref|name=sumsion}}

 

;Eskridge Defense: One of the most difficult of the defenses taught to Rithmatic defenses. It features three internal Lines of Forbiddance, each connecting two adjacent bindpoints, leaving three openings for the Rithmatist to draw. The top and bottom bindpoints have defensive chalklings bound to them while the remainder have circular Lines of Warding. Each of the outer circles have an interior Line of Forbiddance that points towards an opponent, to help defend against Lines of Vigor.{{ref|name=eskridge|Eskridge Defense Illustration}}

{{anchor|Matson Defense}}

;Matson Defense: A defense that relies heavily on defensive chalklings.{{ref|b|rith|c|9}} Features two parallel Lines of Forbiddance, each connecting two adjacent bindpoints. The remaining two bindpoints, opposite of each other, have circular Lines of Warding bound to them each with a Mark's Cross. Defensive chalklings are bound to every bind point of the three circles, except where the smaller circles are bound to the larger one, making ten in total.{{ref|name=matson|Matson Defense Illustration}}

 

The nine-point circle has bindpoints based on a non-obtuse triangle. The bindpoints are located at the midpoint of each side and at the points where the triangle's [[Wikipedia:Altitude (triangle)|altitude]] lines intersect the circle. They require a great deal of practice in order to successfully determine where each of the bindpoints are located. Due to this difficulty many Rithmatists do not choose to spend the time required to master it.{{ref|name=9pt|Nine-point Circle Illustration}}

{{anchor|Easton Defense}}

;Easton Defense: A defense that is suited for multiple opponents. It has circular Lines of Warding at each of its bindpoints and and Lines of Forbiddance that form a nine-sided figure with three lines missing which act as support for the mine circle. Drawbacks to the defense are the difficulty of nine-point circles and the restriction created by the Lines of Forbiddance. There are a number of variations on this defense, such as adding defensive chalklings to the outer circles.{{ref|name=eastonbasic|Basic Easton Defense Illustration}} A more advanced iteration of this defense adds a Mark's Cross to each of the outer circles and decreases the internal Lines of Forbiddance from six to three. Defensive chalklings are also bound to a number of the outer circles' bindpoints.{{ref|name=eastonadvanced| Advanced Easton Defense Illustration}}
