Since Defense is a hidden statistic, it's uncertain exactly how it works and what every Servant's base Defense is in the first place. It's possible it only blocks a specific amount of damage, in which case NPs deal so much damage that the amount blocked is trivial compared to how much goes through.

If your other Servants took significantly more damage than Matthew did, then this CE is probably working, it just won't help enough for NPs.
