Shouldn’t your strategy be try to earn the most points with bonuses no matter what the opponent does? Time of attacks has nothing to do with it.
No. The goal is to earn more points than your opponent. Whether you win by 1 or 100 is irrelevant. Thus, the optimal strategy is to obtain that point total in the way with the lowest possible risk. If my opponent clears my board, but has to use 2 attacks against one team, my strategy is simply to clear his teams first try. So when I get to his phoenix team, while I could attempt to clear it with just wampa, since my strategy is simply first clears, I run wampa as part of a full team. Why take the risk of just pure horrible rng? If my opponent clears my board on the first try, then I can figure out how many points I need to average per team to win, so I can figure out the optimal configuration. Maybe I run a couple of teams using 4 characters to ensure I cover the gap. Maybe I run full teams except against phoenix or whatever. The more information you have, the more you can optimize your strategy to achieve the ultimate goal which is outscoring your opponent. So there's a definite advantage to attacking second.
