Okay well firstly, u may not want to trust the Deck Power strength thing. It may not be reliable. A higher power may just mean that the card has a bit better attack but dies faster. Take for example, an x3 raid card. U got it, u maxed it, and placed it as your leader. It may do higher damage, since it has the x3 multiplier to attack, but may die faster, due to not MTM'ed and hence lower defence.

So, in my opinion, a higher defence will make a card last longer i.e. survive more attack rounds when fighting a boss. And yes, defence works on individual cards, it has nothing to do with the second row.

Hope that solves your question. Sorry for any bad english.
