Official Answer
Yes, if the Invader Damage is completely prevented by Defend, the Dahan still fight back.
This is supported by the following rule:
- On page 9, under 3a. Ravage, it states:
"After Invader Damage has been fully resolved in a land, any surviving Dahan there fight back. Each Dahan deals 2 Damage to the Invaders. (See page 15 for Invaders’ Health.) The Dahan will fight back even if the Ravaging Invaders deal no Damage (for example, due to Defend Powers), but not if the Ravage Action has been skipped or stopped from happening altogether."
Summary
- If Defend reduces Invader Damage to zero, Dahan still fight back and deal 2 Damage each to the Invaders in that land, as long as the Ravage Action was not skipped or stopped.
