Mod’s Secondary Stats Probability to Increase

All 4 slots have 25% chance of increasing. The first secondary isn’t more likely to increase than the second, third or fourth secondary

When upgrading mods, does the order of the secondary stats play any role in the probability that the stat will increase? There are 4 secondary mod stats. Does the stat in the 1st slot have more of a chance to increase in value than the stat in slots 2, 3, and 4? Is slot 4 the least likely to increase in value when upgrading, or are all four slots equal in probability to increase in value when upgrading? Thanks.

Update: Had forgotten about the change to second stats when slicing was updated. That explains the skew.

They've never publicized any probabilities for slicing. However, I've sliced and upgraded thousands of mods, and never noticed skew towards certain positions.

That being said, I've also not recorded data surrounding it. I just assume it's an equal probability.

For fun, I just took a look at all my mods with +20 or greater speed. I have a total of 19 mods that are at +20 or above speed. The speed stat positions for those mods:
First - 10
Second - 6
Third - 2
Fourth -1

So, out of my very limited sample size there does appear to be a skew towards the top. However, since my sample size is very small, I wouldn't draw any conclusions from it.

My mod roster is the same. The reason is that back in the olden days (pre Mods 2.0) you used to only keep coloured mods that already showed speed. These mods were effectively pre-selected and promoted to see if they’d continue to proc lots of speed. Anything that didn’t already show speed was sold without upgrading. Hence the bias towards the top two slots.

Okay, for fun I went onto SWGOH and started looking up other players. I grabbed a couple members of my guild and a couple of members of Team Instinct, and I filtered mods for Secondary Speed, then I recorded the position of their speeds for all mods at +20 or above. My results after 5-6 players and 200 mods:

First - 80
Second - 83
Third - 25
Fourth - 12

It really seems like these results are skewed towards the top two. I wonder if anyone has a good way to extract a chunk of the mod results over the entire population. Speed mods should be a good indicator, since those are the stats that the majority of top players slice for.

Oooh, good call! I didn't consider that, and there's no way to know if a mod was obtained pre or post slicing.

Have to take into account how many of those are mods that were sliced to that speed. Several of my 20+ mods started life as green or blue, hit speed back before slicing was a thing (guaranteed hit on greens, good chance on blues) and then had good luck after slicing was introduced. Speed would be the first stat on a green and would be first or second on a blue for those mods.

This skew probably comes from the period of time when the lower tier mods would upgrade visible stats before adding new ones.

For example, a blue mod showing Speed and Offense would perform two upgrades before revealing the last two secondary stats. You had a 50% chance of upgrading Speed on each of level 3 and 6. This would make it look like it historically skewed to the top positions.

It's 25% per stat

Interesting read

In mods 2.0 but befor that greens had a 100% blues 50% purples 33.33% and golds had a 25% chance to increase a stat
