Do you have a nuller on your defense team? If yes, ATK.

If no, DEF.

I have shrines and upgrade potions - this made it such that I didn't need to max ATK first for this particular lineup of cards because of all the additionals I got from the structures.

Only gave an example of a time where I worked on DEF first - it involved me considering my structures and my upgrade potion adding stats to my card - then my reasoning and thought process on why I chose DEF over ATK for that one time.

You can add DEF instead, if you prefer - but as I said, the better choice is completely dependant on who is fighting you at the time and if you will be using them for the AEH or if you're just leaving them in your defense team for all eternity.

To give some insight:

If you do DEF and you're fighting a guy who doesn't have MAX ATK cards - he's going to have a problem if you did DEF first since 1 proc isn't enough to beat you (all the more if you have a nuller ready to cancel his next proc).

If you do DEF and you're fighting a guy who has MAX ATK cards + Shrine buffs + Upgrade potion - he's going to pancake you if he gets a first turn proc unless your nuller nulls him and RNG fails him.

If you do ATK and you're fighting a guy who doesn't have MAX DEF GURs - it's over if you null his first proc since he won't survive your lockdown even if he has awakening burst.

If you do ATK and you're fighting a guy who has MAX DEF GURs - it's over if he doesn't kill you before you proc, because your damage is just that high.

That's how I see it, anyway. Hope it helped (laughs).
