Some clarity around Tarkin please.

It's A. 50% potency gets added on top of what he has. 25% would become 75%. Then 125% next time.

Yes it grants a 50% additive Potency boost each time it is used.

And Ultimate Firepower gains offense equal to double tarkin's potency percentage. Reading through the mechanics on swgoh.gg the ability does 43.9% of Tarkins special damage + 200% x (Tarkin's Potency Percentage). So if he has 315% potency the attack will deal 43.9% + 200% x (315) = 43.9% + 630% = 673.9% of Tarkin's Special damage. It's not a direct offense number in the calculation it's a percentage offense increase the same way Sidious's zeta gives him 50% more max health if he has 50% potency. It doesn't simply give him 50 more max health.

Are those increases only if he has zetas? I haven't gotten zetas yet.

1. Can the 50% potency from his Basic Attack be dispelled?
2. If Tarkin has Buff Immunity, will he still gain the potency from his Basic Attack?

That's kinda hard to figure out. It SHOULDN'T be able to be dispelled and it SHOULDN'T be stopped by buff immunity, but who knows. That kind of thing is hard to test. It'd be easiest to test with Tarkin at very low potency, have him get buff immunity use his basic a few times and see what the damage comes out to be. Then retreat, go in and use ultimate firepower right away.

Same thing would go for the dispel, hopefully you run into a B2 or Ventress in your GW lol. (Baze might kill Tarkin before you can figure it out)

Just needs an omega on his basic to stack potency with his basic. The Zeta on his unique gives additional potency for debuffed enemies. That's the only one that needs a Zeta.

The stacking potency from his basic isn't a buff, and cannot be dispelled.

Well JKA's offense from his unique wasn't a buff but it used to be blocked by buff immunity and shock... I mean they've since fixed that, but who knows if everything new will always work correctly. He's not a rebel so...

That is true. It would be more accurate to say that his stacking potency isn't a buff, so it SHOULDN'T be dispelled, or prevented from stacking. If that happens it's a bug.

That's useful thanks. So, my Tarkin special damage is at 4100. In your example would I multiply this number by 673% i.e. 27.5k? Or, in other words, for every basic attack I'll be adding 4100(ish) to his damage?

Thank you. Was hoping it was B as would have gone mad the longer you wait (which baring in mind how long you would need to keep him alive seems a good trade off)

Yep! That all is excluding the opponents resistance and Tarkin's resistance penetration, but that is essentially what it will come down to.

Personally I kinda wish they put some of the TMR on Intimidation Tactics, and had Ultimate Firepower start on cooldown. That way it would kind of force you to let "the death star" charge up it's laser before unleashing massive damage.
