    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?

    Yup. Always has.

    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?


    Protection Up is an odd example in that multiple stacks from the same source would actually do something, so Protection Up from the same source only stacks if it explicitly says so. Stacking sources / multiple sources do count as multiple buffs, but it’s more obvious because there’s a number indicator like HoTs.

    I just slapped the omi on Akbar and I'm working on Leia's next. I'm a sucker for off meta weirdness. I'll let you all know how it turns out. I got a hold today on defense with Akbar ( omi won't be active in GAC until next week's ) so I was pretty happy that it caught someone off guard without the squad being complete yet.

    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.
