red dice

It seems to me that they really didn't think through the concept of the cheater's dice. It's fine for attacking, but there doesn't seem to be a need for it in defending. As far as I can see, when you tap on the shield over your house to defend it, the attack is immediately stopped so there seems to be no need for extra help from the dice. I've tried using the dice, but it just stops the attack as normal without using up any of my dice. I'm really not sure what they were thinking here...
