actually, from what I've seen, at least regarding conquest-like events, is that you want as -little- AS as possible.

The reason being that your daemons actually do not get stronger attacking with a group or by itself, so the optimal amount of DPS you do when stuff like dragons 1-shot you is just by attacking with your strongest guy alone.

Another good point I've seen is that DS regenerates twice as fast as AS, and your daemons cost twice as much DS as AS to field in conquest events, so you actually want something like a 1:2 ratio of AS to DS in order to maximize your efficiency.

Also, interestingly, Lancelot cost 6 AS to field in the dragon event when I had 50 AS, but rose to 7 when I had 52, this meant that I could only attack with him once every 7 minutes instead of 6, which was much more problematic. I had to resort to decrewing someone to lose that 2 AS.

That being said, you should always level good attack/AS ratio daemons to max, since AS doesn't actually increase with leveling. This wiki has a listing just for that, so you might want to take a look at it. The reason defense doesn't matter as much is because once you get past a certain point, no amount of defense will possibly save you.
