Attack/Defense

Though strictly speaking Tyson favours strategic offence, it should surprise no one that Tyson favours defence over attack.

The best defence is a good offence, after all.

Reality doesn’t always allow Tyson to do as he wishes, but he puts a priority on ensuring defensive capabilities rather than attack. If he can survive an attack, it doesn’t matter if he hits first, wears the person down, or waits for an opening to return the attack.

The same applies when Tyson is planning out missions for the web. He would naturally favour strategic offence, but if given the choice between prioritising how the employees would attack or how to keep them defended, Tyson will favour defence. Taking down an enemy of the web doesn’t matter if they stretch themselves too thin. 

He would argue that it’s a more versatile area of battle and strategy, and has many times in his work with the army and the web.
