Apparently an attack +1 and an attack -1 token are supposed to cancel each other out:

I'm pretty sure this is missing from the rulebook, but they've been playing it this way at tournaments.
The forums moved on March 1, 2021. Please read this page for more information.
That's interesting. I didn't think that would be the case since Attack +1 tokens are optional and Attack-1 are mandatory
They do if you use an attack+1 token to negate an attack-1 token. Attack -1 tokens just have to be used on your next attack. Attack +1 tokens are your choice to use on an stack against a specific target
edit: I've looked at rulebook and see no mention of them automatically canceling each other out. While it is Luther listing that as a response, he is wrong that it is in the rulebook.

Yeah, it was supposed to be in the rulebook, but didn't make it. It was a last-minute rules change. If a character gets one and already has the other (as described), they both go away.

Is it supposed to balance something? I guess I just don't see why it would need to work that way.

Actually, I think it does two things:
I honestly don't know the official reasons - those are just my observations.

Is it the same for +1/-1 Defense tokens? I'd assume it is but the BGG discussion doesn't say, so I won't add that bit to the FAQ just yet.

Yeah it's the same.
Thanks, Luther! An thanks for Tactics! Every time I demo it I want to play it more. :D. Sorry about any stress concerning AZ!
