Cody and plo koon

Not yet. Currently running 5 clones in arena and pve modes - have plo koon at gear 9 and nearing 6 stars currently. Hoping to take him out for a test drive soon!

Dosent work like that it dosent compound with existing defense. Only on top of base. Eg. Plo defense up gives same value as just running a 4th clone

Did you test it?

Tested with RG. The key is its defense up and the % value is 50% from buff

Codys lead reads "gain 50% defense per clone" so with 4 clones you'd have 200% of whatever your defense value is in his stats. With 3 and RG or Plo he'd have 150% then + an additional 50% of BASE not his current upgraded value

200% in either case is still decent

A clone ally would count as himself, so Cody is 1 clone than the other 3 clones then the defense buff would add up to 250% additional defense so his defense multipler would be x3.5 so if he has at least 28.54 defense from mods, he should max out

Defense does not = armor. In fact it has a low conversion. 5% defense is only about 2-3% armor or damage reduction. So while it's true he gets a lot it's not as much as you'd think

I did calculations with storm trooper because I don't have Cody and it worked out exactly how I said it worked, 14% bonus for stormtrooper plus a defense buff equals 64% extra defense to his base armor 13.64 + 14% armor so he has 22.34 armor, tested in GW. With No buff 601, with buff 546

I've run Cody with about 300 armor modded. Full clones he's pushing 1050 armor. He's taking about 2/3 of the damage that Fives is taking and less than half what rex is taking. This points to around 67% damage reduction.

His hp total is about 28k vs 48k on rex. Adjusted for ehp, he's getting about 60k relative ehp to rex's 48k. There are lots of problems though. Its just too easy to pick them off 1 by 1. Sarge/Rex/Echo will usually drop in turn 1 or 2 on defense.

Not including self effects, Cody is the worst of the 3 viable clone leads. Rex/JKA then Cody by a big margin.
