Stacking Offense and Territory Battles

Really you have to look at each characters mechanics.
Each wave of battles or raid phase are currently considered an encounter.
If you look at lando his double damage doesn't have an expires.

Farmboy Luke zeta shows it expires at end of encounter.

Another way to tell the start of an encounter is if effects like pretaunt or cassian buffs.
How to tell is an encounter end is noticing when characters have buffs at the end of the round.

So looks like
lando will keep double damage across encounters/waves
Ezra will keep offense across encounters/waves
Farm boy Luke will not keep CD across encounters/waves.

It was mentioned earlier that all 6 waves are 1 encounter

Yeah lando does carry over rounds... im just stting on a zeta trying not to let it burn a hole in my pocket... if the battles are 6 rounds or more then farmer luke zeta starts looking alot better... like my wife after a few dozen shots of tequila.

And you get her to drink some too? So that she's got alcohol on her breath and the lovely effects of alcohol can carry over a little bit longer.

It's why maul is so good at the current Jedi event.

By the 8th round he's sitting on like 200k hp

Too bad we can't use dn.
He made Jedi event easy
Kill Yoda 1st on8th round

Maybe that's why it's all Light Side combat missions, Darth Maul and Darth Nihilus are too powerful for these kind of wave fights.

In warrior's video I think he mentioned the six waves are treated as one encounter, so things carry over.

Probably. Like Maul's special in PoP (whereas it resets in GW).

There is always problems between terminology and how things are interpreted and what actually happens in game.

Like I said if characters carry buffs from one wave to the next or solo doesn't get to use shoot first ability at each wave start then yes they are coded as one encounter if not then each wave is coded as an encounter.

I don't think you are going to get any clarification on this before it starts so you will need to test it for yourself.

Edit: I just went back and watch some vids from the battles running

here are 2 shots showing loss of buffs between waves in the same battle

1st example CLS has crit damage up from Biggs.

CLS kills the last enemy with a counter attack so he did not take the 2 turns that the buff lasts for and it is gone at start of next wave

2nd Example STh taunts

STH takes no other turns during that wave however his taunt is gone at start of next wave.

this indicates each wave is mark as an encounter meaning any buff/ability gains marked as expiring on "Encounter End" will go away.

Unless something is changed between the testing shown and actual release
Farmboy will not keep his CD bonus thru waves.

That seems to be pretty compelling evidence against dropping a Zeta on him, however unfortunate. Thanks Scuba.

I am sure someone will do it so can always wait and see.
