How does tenacity work exactly?

I assumed since introducing all those debuff heavy and dependent characters that tenacity (mods) would play a more prominent role in the arena. Seems I was wrong.
To illustrate: I am on a relatively young shard (Lvl 78) and am trying to fight my way into the top 10 every day. I have the wiggs/ST Hand/Lando/Boba Combination. My ST Han is on of the fastet in the Top 20, but can't outspeed a fast boba. So I applied some tenacity mods on him (got him to about 68%), face the team with the fast boba (which has a 25ish % Potency) and tried my luck. He blocked my ST Han. Ok, bad luck, try again, ....
Long story short: I Was curious, refreshed with crystals and tried it 8 times against that team. My Han didn't resist once!

So how exactly does tenacity work? If it is 25% potency vs. 75% Tenacity I would have assumed that one out of four debuffs would land?

    How does tenacity work? Short answer is that most of the time it doesn't. I've had many characters over 100% tenacity and it seems to make little if any difference in the frequency of debuff resistance.

    Thx!
    So from this thread I gathered: defenders tenacity - attackers potency = actual chance of the debuff not beeing resisted? With a minimum of 15% resistance of course.
    That should be added to those 15% imho...

    I felt the same way. So in short: Right now I am better off with feeding my ST Han health set mods than tenacity?

    The 15% is not added because it is not tenacity it is the min chance to resist hard coded in the game so even if you have 30% more potency than opponents tenacity they still have a 15% chance to resist.

    With tenacity down there is still 15% chance to resist.
