DEF is important. That's why damage reduction mechanics is suggested as leads and subs in high end raid because they frequently spam DEF stat down. You have a relatively weak boss Arstallie suddenly hitting like a truck because your squad got debuffed. Same thing with Queen Sipla and weakness. Then there's Shusui.

Also, Farlon benefits greatly from buff wiping because his self-imposed DEF down will get wiped as well, returning his DEF to normal levels. The same is true for other units that have the same mechanic like Logan and Bargus.
