Does using a defense event like Backflip count as defending for Unflappable and similar triggers?
The official Rules Reference states this directly, and forum discussion agrees.

Yes. Playing an ability labeled as a defense makes your identity the defender if nobody is defending yet, so it counts as having defended for triggers like Unflappable. It is not a basic defense, so your DEF does not reduce the damage. Older replies that said otherwise were superseded by the current rules text.
