Generally speaking, most FO toons are modded for crit Damage, and rightly so. At first glance, it would appear to do the same with FOE, but I'm going to make a case to go all-in on health mods.At max gear, FOE has a health pool of just over 29,000. If choosing mods with health sets, health primaries, and health secondaries, it is entirely possible to get his health up over 40,000. On his unique he gains offense equal to 5% of his max health, which would add 2000 offense if his health is at 40,000. This would bring his physical offense from 2900 to over 4900!!! And we haven't even begun to account for his 10% stacking max health.Physical offense of 4900 would be a critical damage offense of 7350, before any added bonus from KRU leadership. By contrast, if going for crit Damage mods and getting around 220% and doing the math with his maximum base physical offense of 2904, that comes to under 6300.So not only does maxing health mods add to survivability of FOE, it appears to massively out-gun crit Damage mods for offense as well.I know he was advertised as best under KRU, but I really see this guy as better under phazma. Gauranteed crit with Advantage, crit immunity while having Advantage (tons of extra survivability), plus adds 10% TM on crit hit to all FO, all make this character a total stud.What's everybody out there think? Did I make any mistakes or incorrect assumptions with my math on the mods? Cuz I'm seriously looking forward to leveling this beefcake!(Late thought... a crit Damage triangle over Health does make sense, but I think otherwise going for straight health is wise)

I like the way you approach this, but I'll let wiser chaps to answer, I'm interested in this too especially in regards to the hAAT.

There is another post within the last month that does detailed math. Search for it. I THINK the conclusion he reached was the same as yours: health + CD triangle. I maybe wrong about it but that is what I remember.

If you could find a crit damage triangle with strong health secondaries. Your post has also had me thinking if he could be a viable damage dealer under a zarris lead, since she gives him 10% max health, and a nice heal when someone lands a crit against him. Only issue is there's no speed bonuses with her leader ability

While 40k HP would give him +2000 offense, 30K HP would give 1500...Its 4900*1,86=9114 against 4400*2,16=9504So i think he will do more damage with a crit damage set... Its still close and after stacking some HP (dont know how his hp stacking works) it could change...I could be wrong (didnt pay so much atention to FOE set xD) but take account that he will get a lot of offense from 30k HP without HP set xD

Health mods or Crit Damage mods for FOE??

I still remain a believer (and I still mod mine this way) that CC/CD is the best mod set for Fox. Other than putting a health circle on him, I mod him just like I would any other damage dealer. I am pleased with the results. It's great to theory craft him into oblivion, but in the end the most important thing that he should be doing is getting crits and hitting hard.

I’ve found crit damage set and a health set with high offense and health secondaries are the best fit, no need for crit chance under kru and foo.

No crit chance needed. If you have FOO or are applying any debuffs at all, he gets advantage continuously or has a guaranteed critical hit, which then rewards him with advantage anyway. I currently have him:

4 offence, 2 health. Health on circle, potency on cross for now until I get +offense with speed secondary.

I plan on switching the 4 offense for 4 CD. Secondaries with loads of health/offense/speed where possible.

CD sets are ideal as FO almost always have advantage/guaranteed critical. In the monster thread they reached the general consensus that if your CC is pushing 70 go CD mods over offense.
