If you follow Whyteboi's advice - skills can be more important than power: If your front line has low power, but boosts the power of your backline - it will be more effective than a strong front line that does nothing for your back line (or you have a weak back line to start with).

For example - maybe your defense can stop 100,000 attack:

If the front line does 45,000 and the backline adds another 50,000 = 95,000 total

= Defense Successful

But,

If the front line does 15,000 and the backline adds another 100,000 = 115, 000 total

= Defense Failure

This may be unrelated, but you also have to take into account whether they hit a trap. If a trap activates, it doesn't matter if they hit for 15,000 or 1.5M - the trap will stop them!
