I do have it on good authority from a fellow Android user who has tested it extensively that it does indeed work as follows:

For both ATK and DEF from left to right, the first skill that applies WILL fire at 100%. If the first card does not apply and can not fire, the second one will if it does apply. To test this, build an ATK front line using only def or raid skill cards. Then place a single atk skill card in position 1 and attack with that line. The first card's skill will fire. Then move it to position 2. It will fire. It will fire no matter where it is in the line, because the rule is, at least one skill MUST fire if it is able to.

This is why I cannot recall ever seeing a defending player have a skill not activate against me. There have been many times when it came not from the first card, but from one of trhe others. But it did come from somewhere, and all it means is that their first card was not a defense skill card. :)

If you are using at least one atk card in your front line, and you do not see any of your skills activate, then your app is broken. LOL!
