Jyn Rancor

Hello there
(general Kenobi!!!)

I'm here for a simple clarification about Jyn Potency required to affect Rancor tm. As far as I notice, her ability tells us:
Deals phisical damage to target and remove all turn meter.
Does this affect rancor after the usual potency vs tenacity check? If so, how much potency does she require to be effective?

Please be aware I'm gonna put her next to TFP and his tenacity down.

Thank you so much
  • If Tenacity Down is on Rancor all the time, Jyn does not need any Potency as Rancor will be reduced to the Base 15% Tenacity.
  • I love when she still gets resisted 20 crits in with tenacity down. Love love love it.
  • The last few times I used her I blew thru 50% of P2 into 60% of P3 with her and my potency was at 5.44% ... same deal when I did 80% in P3
  • The last team i soloed with was teebo (l), tarkin, jyn, rex and tfp. Jyn does get resisted so need other tmr to help her out.
  • @CleverWes Hahaha Bistan!!!


    And Jyn doesn't need potency so long as you can get a few critical hits in. But speed is very helpful
  • Yes, Jyn's turn meter removal very much so affects the Rancor. After Commander Luke she's probably the single most effective character at keeping the Rancor in check, so getting her is definitely a good way to improve your performance in that raid.

    As for potency, as others have said, she doesn't really need any - especially if you're running her alongside someone who gives Tenacity Down. The tenacity penalty that gives is so severe that potency doesn't matter, the resist chance will always be the minimum (15%). And that goes for everyone, not just Jyn.

    Even without that though, after a few crits she'll have built up enough potency to be good. You'll want someone else who also removes turn meter in case she does get resisted - especially at the start of the raid while her potency is still low/before the Tenacity Down gets applied - but there's plenty to choose from. I've been soloing with her, Han Solo, Thrawn, and Wedge + Biggs lately myself.
