it's actually better to do the opposite. at the beginning, it's better to focus on defense and preserving your army. The damage reduction is twice as effective as increasing attack power. Useful skills like resilience, evasion, and last stand are beneficial for every race, in my opinion.
Well... yes! Of course, you can level up defense!!! :smile01: But, for example, if you're playing as Necropolis, their army is cheap! It's better to level up both defense and attack!:smile01: Because you need both equally! :)

And, for example, if you're playing as Haven, level up the attack of their archers! And the battle will definitely be in your favor.
