There are 3 stats in the game attack defense and health. All 3 of them mater both in offensive and defensive situations.
As he just said. There is 3 stats, dat all will be useful in this situation, and offensive upgrades will be useful too. When smb will attack you, all will be meaning. But defense and heath are more priority for the first upgrade I think + Lynx Equip, if you want to play from defending.

... but you should avoid getting hit unless you get lynx, tough research and a huge amount of troops. Shield is your best friend until you can take the hit.
if your goal is to be hit ( make a trap ), better go the specialist way with one type of troop and stronghold armor... stronghold armor combine saracen and lynx effect for one type or troop...
In the example below, i was lvl 25 and the guy who attack me was lvl 29... all his stat beat mine, except for my speciality archer... my ranged offense bonus is what allow me to make the killing in defense...
About the huge amount of troop, it is true for a good saturation level... need a huge amount of t1 for take the beating... and some from high level for do the killing...
