lol, Wolla, you're using it wrong then; you don't want to use it with any attack maneuver, since the score is Oppoents attack points - your attack points. What you want to do is use it with defense maneuver, making Confuision's ability obsolete, to get the full benefit. (Would post a SS, but I already attacked with my main CC+HtL)
Hold the Line won't work, since it's only +1 per attack, and you'll need at least 4 defense maneuver, which are worth 2, at max, so the Elemental strike will beat you, as it's 4 at max. -- That's why I saied to pair ti up with confusion.
Anyways, ToC is a counter for nearly all tactics, and only tactics; problem with it is that you'll need Movement Maneuvers, which don't really score points, so if your opponent scores points using Elemental Attacks + Leadership, you'll need so way to combat that..(Think of them as buffs and debuffs in games, they'll help you, but aren't really necessary, and can be tricky to use.)
