You can use them to defend, but tapping on the shield in the upper right then tapping anywhere and that clears out all attacks on your buildings, but the far better use is to simply go to a random town via the crossed weapons icon, then tap on a castle (if none are available because they are already under siege or destroyed, then tap on the crossed weapons icon till you get to a town with a free castle you can attack) and instead of sending nerds to attack, tap on the cheater 20 at the bottom of the pop-up menu to use a cheater 20 to win instantly and get 140 Elixir and 50 Gold with no waiting.

I try to keep one in Inventory as it's an easy way to see if I have any houses being attacked without having to check them all.
