Is there a bonus for the team in defense in PVP? My detail of Krystenax (15 - 24 - 19) vs His detail of Krystenax (22 - 32 - 25) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/1/c/1c1dede03ca5f88e177302509fbf87cee526b8ce.jpg) Same level and traits for the two cards. No cards of the team have a significant bonus. My level 281, his level 181. My play level is set to “Normal”. Why this difference? Can someone explain me? Thank you! ---

Must be because of kingdom level and power difference. Edit: also bonus stats from guild. ---

He probably has kingdom bonuses you don’t. You get those from reaching kingdom level 10 (Gold investment) and again at _power_ level 5 (Troop/Ascension/Souls/Traits investment). Each kingdom provides permanent increases to a given stat at those milestones.
