Attack

Defense is much harder than attack.

As the attacker, your strategy and vector of attack can be anything you choose, and can be picked with all of your skills in mind.

As the defender you are trying to stop the attacker. That is the only goal, and you have to be superior to whatever craziness is thrown at you.

In addition, as a defender there is never a victory, you are just holding off loss.

So when you are defending, change the paradigm.

Attack!
