Also, I think there is a Hidden Defense Multiplier added when going against a weaker teams, I often lose to teams 30-60k less than mine, (I'm at 358k) but win more against teams that are 10-15k more than mine.
All this means is that power is not useful for determining the victor of the battle (and if it were, why bother fighting?) Use power for deployment in TB, but when fighting in arena, I don't even look at the number. I figured this out at level 40. There are still a lot of people who make a big deal out of small relative power differences, especially in fleet, and to them I say it's just a ballpark figure. You shouldn't expect your 350k fleet to lose to a 150k fleet most of the time (but maybe sometimes). But a 50k difference is nothing. In fleet, the power includes the power of all reinforcements, which may not even enter the battle. It contains power from crew, which may not even influence stats in a meaningful way.
Heck, since the power calculation update, you see weird things with squads too...stars are weighted way to heavily. You can have a 7* character at level 1, gear 1 with more "power" than a 4*, level 64, g7 character with level 3 abilities and mods. Guess which one would win. They really need to rename "power" to "collection score."
