Sorry, my brain is too tired for all of the math in this discussion, but YES - for a defensive player, drop skills CAN be better.

The ideal use of DROP skills are when you have the inferior deck, while BOOST skills are better suited when you have the superior deck. Since you don't always know, using Drop skills can be useful as you build your deck up. In other words, assuming that the attacker has more power than you can stop, you can lower their attack to a damage figure that you CAN stop.
