All AOE cards will want Max ATK for AUBs over Max DEF - you won't survive Max ATK Dains AoE or 3 turn skip from Moira if you fail to kill them, when your cards don't proc burst, in their first turn.

There are cases where I survived - but since you don't have medals, prioritize your ATK. It's worth to note that not everyone has full DEF cards just because they are GUR - you can take advantage of that much further by wiping them out in the first turn with your 39,999 ATK cards.

DMG/Skip cards are best with ATK either way because if it procs but doesn't kill - they lower the HP of the other team low enough for you to tap them out one by one, for 3 turns. That's 3 (possibly 4 if one died in the AOE) cards you take out by the time your turn is over.

If the last card remaining is not an AoE or if it doesn't proc, you win.

All situational - but DEF doesn't give you any more benefits than ATK in AUBs unless you're in a downward spiral of never having first turn procs.

You can argue that all of your cards will proc on the 2nd turn if you survive the first turn - surviving the first turn with 10% of your sc isn't going to win you the game against a full DEF GUR team, by some time at least one of those enemy cards would have awakened also making them impossible to be one shot if your ATK isn't maxed, and if it doesn't proc again on the 2nd turn then you may as well just flee (laughs).

There are other types of defenses like debuff and revive teams - but the majority chooses AOE so you should stick with ATK.
