Sabine's special skill Darksaber Strike applies the unique effect "Armor shred" onto enemies. She can stack multiple copies of Armor shred onto a single enemy, but there is no visual indication of how many times it has been applied. Since it is specifically called out as a stacking buff, it would be helpful to see how many stacks are applied.

That would certainly be useful.

Same for all stacking effects on our teams plz, like wampa Fox asajj Daka etc

So if Sion starts at 75% armor and you remove 25% you're at 56.25%. Second stack of shred and you're at 42.18%. Third stack = 31.6%, and so on.

You may also want to make a post at <>. Since the update, it could be considered a visual bug that it doesnt get a count like all other stacking buffs/debuffs

Hmmm, after 4 stacks I stop seeing an improvement in damage. Are you sure? Yes. I'm sure. Where are you getting to 4 stacks of Darksaber? Also, I was using big numbers to emphasize the point of the impact of 3 shred's not reducing it to 0. We can start at 50% Armor (I think that's Sion's armor HSTR) and it goes.50% starting, 1 = 37.5%, 2 = 28.125, 3 = 21.1, 4 = 15.8. So on that last stack you've only removed 5.3% ish. Extend that to how Armor works and it increase what would have been 9,500 dmg to 10,000 dmg. That's close enough to the regular dmg variance of a character that you may not see the impact, but it's still there. This is what I would think. It makes it useful, but not crushing. The other way would just make it 0 armor in 2 strikes.

Please show the "Stack count" for Sabine's Darksaber Strike

Why don't we just have an entirely separate screen that records every character's stats every turn. That would solve everything.

No idea it did stack.....I mean I keep doing it anyway but barely pay attention to numbers at 4x speed to see what they are.

Past 2 stacks on a character or 4-5 for a raid boss, there's no point because they are at 0% defense. But it'd be good to know when you're there.

The game obviously tracks the number of stacks - so hopefully it'd just be a graphics prompt.
