JKA No protection?

My JKA is geared to tier 6 and I've got mods on him but he has ZERO protection?
  • Characters have no natural protection until Gear VII.

    You can add flat value protection through mod secondary stats, but primary and secondary percentage protection mod stats will have no effect until Gear VII.

    If you have a gear 6 character with a mod that provides flat protection, say +500 and then another mod that is + 1.5% protection does that percent up apply to the +500 or does it do nothing since the unit has no base protection?
  • It's not hard to test this yourself, assuming you have a single character under g7.

    No, percent-based mods of any stat (except additive ones like potency or tenacity) only apply to the stats before mods.
