When this defends, you may pay

. If you do, it gets +2

and "When the combat chain closes, destroy this."

This does not have blade break or battleworn, it does not get destroyed unless you pay for it’s effect.
You may defend with this card and elect to pay no resources, however it would not gain the +2.
Both players will have a chance to respond when the ability goes on the chain, however there is no priority after the resource is paid but before it gains the +2.
