Yeah, from what I saw recording boss battles, each member of the group took damage independently of the other cards in the group. So x2 row cards can't really "block" for the x3 row. In some, rare, cases it would help to put a tank in front of a weak (hp and def) card though. The best example would be if you had a tank R5 in the x2 row, which are very tough cards, and a half x7/x10 raid card in the x3 row. Usually the card in the x3 row will live the longest in the group, because the x3 bonus applies to hp and def, making it the hardiest member of the group. But in this extreme case, the half x7/x10 card may be better than an R5 overall, so you would prefer it in the x3 row, yet an R5 in the x2 row will actually live for more rounds, and draw boss attacks for additional rounds.
