I'll try my best..

When card has say 20k base DEF, it will take something like 14k damage from unbuffed 40k ATK card. If you increase this DEF to 40k, the attacker will only deal about 8k DMG.

What I'm saying is that increasing DEF will allow you to mitigate damage up until certain point (around 500-1k DMG taken per hit against LAW) so there seems to be some kind of cap in DEF.

I'm not sure if ATK has a cap. We can only deal 999,999 damage (more in certain cases) but you can notice against some enemies that have ridiculously high DEF values (like Adv EH FAW, unless that is flat DMG reduction) that it's much harder to hit the DMG cap. Haven't tried out -DEF cards yet to see how that affects EH FAWs.

Also it would be interesting to see what happens if you increase attacker ATK by 300% and defender DEF by 300%, would the damage stay the same or would attacker hit more. For me it feels like at lower ATK levels DEF is way more relevant and after certain point DEF is almost pointless (in duels)
