If I am not mistaken pure teams and type advantage are also taken into account when defending thus it is best to use your type advantage when attacking. So yes, a full team of Divina will get the 5% boost as well as the 15% boost if a Phantom lead attacks into a Divina defense team.

Def spirit gets reduced only when you are unsuccessful in your counter other wise it will not reduce whatseover. So theroretically if you keep succesfully countering no one will be able to reduce your DS. However if your coutner is unsuccessful you lose a small portion of your DS (I think around 10%? I'm not sure)
