    My team comp is
    Akbar lead (R7)
    Leia (R3)
    Stormtrooper Han (R3)
    Bistan (R7)
    Fulcrum Tano (G12)


    … wait, you got a hold without any Omicrons?

    Huh. Impressive.


    I think the other player probably saw an easy win and brought in a bad counter in an effort to save better squads, which is what I was hoping for.

    The value of a team that can't just be easily looked up for an exact guide on how to kill it shouldn't be underestimated.

    I like this one. Not super powerful, and probably needs Ackbar too, but it does what we want Omicrons to do - takes objectively awful teams and gives them a good niche to be useful in.

    I think that they have multiple stacks of the buff, maybe? So an old stack could expire and grant the tm after 2 turns, but you still have the buff.

    So Leia could actually hand the team 3 buffs 3 times for 9 stacks total, then 2 turns later that all expires for 27% TM gain, but leia has had another turn and they will keep the buffs, while also gaining the TM from the hidden stacks expiring.

    Not certain this is how it will work, but possible, given how geo spy damage can ramp from multiple stacks of tenacity down and ability block.

    This will also give massive protection recovery under Jyn lead.


    Not sure if anyone remembers, but back when Padme came out, the devs answered a similar question. I think it was an interaction with GMY's battle meditation ( it granted himself protection up, then granted *every ally*, including GMY himself, protection up), and General Kenobi's unique. TL;DR it counted as the first Protection Up expiring, and activated GK's taunt.

    I see this as a similar situation, but this is CG, so it's anyone's guess. No clarification from them, what else is new?

    They can gain multiple stacks of buffs like Retribution, it's just not shown because it doesn't change anything. So they would gain TM when they gain that buff, not after 2 turns.


    My understanding of the Ackbar omicron is that that ally only gains TM when a buff expires, this is why I'm asking this question. From what I'm gathering, it's delayed satisfaction. The TM train would start after 2 turns (because that's how long the P. Leia buffs will last.)


    Oh, Ackbar's omicron grants TM when a buff expires... I thought it was when an ally gains it...


    Yup. Akbar's Omicron grants TM when buffs expire. But concerning this omicron, I think they do expire when a new one is gained. This is because they come form the same source: Leia's unique.
    This is what happens with Protection Up after all. That was an entire thing a while back. The old Protection Up would expire if a new one was applied from the same source, unless it specifically stated that it stacked. I would assume the same is going on here: If an ally gains a buff from this Omicron they already have, the old one expires immediately. That being said, if she gains Tenacity Up while allies still have the Tenacity Up from Akbar's lead, that one won't expire since it isn't from the same source.
    But at the end this is how I expect it to work. I'm not 100% sure about it either so some confirmation would be nice.


    another example: geo spy. geo spy basic ‘stacks up his silent strike’ because he is gaining additional CC up / stealth hidden stacks. This is why some call spy to assist on a geo team. This means more buffs expire - more damage from silent strike.

    What happens when it is x% for all allies to whatever. Is that one RNG roll for all or none or RNG rolls independently for each.

    If it said x% for each or each ally has x% then clear. To me this reads like all or none as it is "she has....to grant" so is single roll.

    Also, I assume Leia second and third attacks also generate this chance? This would mitigate the above somewhat.

    Guess with Ackbar works well if she is one of weakest.

    Reached out to dev. Here's what they said:

    Buffs that don't stack visibly/functionally (we tie the two together) can still stack in the background. Instead of "refreshing" the duration of an existing buff, a new buff is added with its own duration. The buffs overlap on their duration, so the unit will (usually) enjoy the benefits of that buff longer, but the actual impact of the buff (+50% Offense, +25% Critical Chance, etc) is constant - if any of that buff is present, you get the static effect. The same is true for debuffs that don't stack visibly/functionally.
    ---

    So an example would be the following:

    T1: Apply Tenacity Up for 2 turns
    T2: Apply Tenacity Up for 2 turns again somehow
    T3: Tenacity Up from T1 expires. AA bonuses. Character still has Tenacity Up
    T4: Tenacity Up from T2 expires. AA Bonuses. Character no longer has Tenacity Up
    ---

    TLDR; leia and akbar omis work well together


    I'm assuming this is similar to the multiple instances of Tenacity Down from Geo Soldier stacking for Geo Spy's nuke attack?
