A Question about Defense

Asking the wise and just members of the forum about something that I'm not sure about....

This relates to PvP defense. We'll use the current Storm event as an example. Say I have the featured character (3* Storm) with 2 or more covers, such that my Storm plays at a higher level than the "loaner" Storm available to everyone. I play for a while, la la la, and get to a point where I have no health packs left and my Storm is beaten up badly, but the rest of my team is still fairly healthy.

So say I play one or two more rounds with the loaner Storm, and win. Then I go away for a while.

Question: When other people see me in nodes, does my team show up as my two chars plus MY Storm, or as my two chars plus the LOANER Storm?

It obviously makes a big difference if you have a decently covered featured character.

My guess is that it's the latter -- people will see whatever the team composition was of the last time I played, which was Loaner Storm. Which means you shouldn't **** your defense by playing "just one more" with the loaner. But I'm not sure, and I've never seen this specifically addressed. (Okay, I didn't look THAT hard.....)

Anyone have any answers here? Danke schoen!

    From everything I've ever read or experienced, it is the last team you won a match with in that event. So, if your last match was with the loaner, you get the loaner on D until you play again.

    Hope that helps!

    Unless you want to cast Surgical Strike on defense, instead of hail storm

    If it's a retaliation, meaning you attacked first and you show up as a red node, then it is the team you beat them with.
    If it's a yellow node, it's the last team you won with in that event.

    Defense doesn't matter, so who cares?

    I push with the loaner and leave my lvled character on defense.
