Boba Fett's defense penetration

as stated above defense is armor/resistance
There is no charater stat for defense penetration. the stat to look at depends on what type of damage the character deals.
in the case of Boba Fett, currently he only deals physical damage so the only one that matters for him is armor penetration which is not 0

Neat, I never noticed that. But the answer is still the same. If there was a way to raise Defense Penetration through gear or mods, it would show up there on the character screen.

Just like how there’s no Defense stat at all, but mods that increase Defense will increase Armor and Resistance.

That must be something new with a recent update.
as you see below it does nothing to that stat



my guess is they are trying to get away from modding both stats with Uniques and buffs so building in another way to that

So, if Armor Pen is based off Defense Pen, and your defense Pen of 0 gets doubled to 0, your Armor Pen is still based off your doubled 0...which is 0.... right? So it still doesn't actually ADD anything.

??

208 = 208 + (208 x 0)
208 = 208 + 0
208

What am I missing? Has it been that long that I've forgotten some basic math somewhere?

So someone started a similar thread a month or two ago. The "defense penetration" percent stat under "General" is 0 for every character in the game. So as scuba said, I think it is some new thing they were playing around with.

Also in the other thread, I tested Boba's damage in GW. I was able to calculate that it is indeed boosting his armor penetration.

P.S. Rule of thumb: Always take what scuba says as the correct answer.

BFs payout says he gets bonus defense penetration equal to 200% of his defense penetration.... Which is zero. I have him maxed on gear. Is this meant to read as armor penetration, which is 203? That would make much more sense. Perhaps I'm missing something.

Defense is a catch-all term for Armor and Resistance. So if something boosts your Defense Penetration, it means that it equally boosts both Armor Penetration and Resistance Penetration.

@scuba cool thanks for the clarification. See where I was getting mixed up? Was rather confusing. Cheers.

@CG_SBCrumb could this be a typo?
