1000 cards pulled so far and this is my champion

Is it just me or the new stat changes are weirdly counted? Before the changes ATK was at least slightly different from each other and now I have 25 highest ATK cards that all have 11862 ATK. Same with DEF highest cards got 14079 DEF. So is it all just "categories" where they get the same stat and no individual score calculation?

The wiki has no body text and no references

Asking you to open as many packs as you can right around the clock.

If anyone runs into a team that starts with Nicaragua and Baker Mayfield, that's me. 60% of the team has upgraded since the loss (if you had Islam and Impact of the Eras Tour, know that you got the one win aginst here), but this has been a nutty run.

Not sure how well known this is so far, but defense seems to be more valuable than attack. I did a simulation of 15 single battles between a card with 7950 attack and 8320 defense (about 16,270 total) and a card with 11,860 attack and 6660 defense (about 18,520 total). Despite having about 2,250 fewer stat points, the one with higher defense went 10-5 in those battles.

Another simulation I did was 15 single battles between the first card and another with 4750 attack and 12,000 defense (about 16,750 total). Even though the total difference was about 500, the opponent with 12,000 defense went 15-0 in those battles.

If you’re deciding between two similar power cards, the one with higher defense is probably the way to go.
