Good points, all around. There may be more than one way to skin a bee... Do we think that the Heroes' defense value will absorb some of the damage?

Defense number is just the number to beat for the attack value. If its beat then the defender takes damage. So I doubt that will help with the Hummerhorns.

The ineffectiveness of the "defense" score against indirect (or, non-combat) damage, cuts both ways.  Thalin's ability, for instance, would be near useless if monsters got to apply their defense against it.

character’s defense does not absorb damage from undefended
attacks or from card effects.
