Yep, Magnetic Shock pretty much nailed it. It's not 3x damage, it's 3x attack.

Assume one of your cards has 15000 attack, and does 5000 damage to the boss (assuming boss defense is 10000, and damage is 15000-10000).

With 3x attack, your damage would be something like 45000(15000*3) - 10000 = 35000. So you do a lot more than just 3 times the damage (7 times the damage in this scenario). If the defense were something like 5000. Normal damage = 15000-5000 = 10000. 3x damage would only do 45000-5000 = 40000 (only 4 times, as opposed to 7 times, in the previous scenario).

That's why the 3x attack is more effective for bosses with higher defense. The calculations are not accurate, but that's the basic idea.
