[MEGA] State of the Galaxy: November 2021

My question: with this whole 1 point per opponent defeated, what is going to prevent people from simply putting 1 toon on defense in each spot? That will limit your opponent to now 71 points instead of 75 they can earn meanwhile you get to keep more toons for offense so potentially can defeat their teams easier and get the full 75 points.

Or only putting defense on the front nodes since you don't get Defense points anymore, even if they break through and automatically get the nodes they are still now 5 points short for each node that you didn't put a defense on.

For that matter put just 1 team total on defense so it doesn't auto fill but let the rest just auto go to the opponent but they again, are out those 5 points per battle meanwhile I have more toons to use to full clear them and I get 5 extra for each node so would win off of that.
