I tried messing around with my ranked defense teams so that at least one (Dragon Soul) troop can pop a skill or two to earn extra souls but it doesn’t seem to be happening, am I right in assuming our defense teams don’t actually get extra souls/maps/gold for performing skills and that I should focus on tactical defense? ---

Defend teams do not accumulate any resources within the battle other than gems and keys. ---

@Tacet Do you know the criteria for gaining Gems in Defend? Sometimes I’ll go 4/6 and get 1 or 2, then I’ll go 24/13 and not get a single one. ---

Gems are based on 7x cascades that your defend team does. ---
