Today We Die: Target a Samurai Personality who has not been targeted by a Today We Die this game. Until the game ends, he cannot Lobby, after the end of each of his controller's Action Phases, if he can legally assign, his controller must declare an attack and assign him, and give him a +1F/+1C token after each battle resolution he is in.

Just checking. The effect "give him a +1F/+1C token after each battle resolution he is in" is tied to "after the end of each of his controller's Action Phases, if he can legally assign, his controller must declare an attack and assign him", so he wouldn't get tokens by battle resolution during defense.

Is this correct?

Thanks!

All versions of the card have allowed the target to be able to gain the bonus in defense. Since the card already forces you to attack with him, it requires some use of other effects from you or your opponent to be able to gain the bonuses in defense, but it is certainly possible.
