Some clarity around Tarkin please.
So Tarkins basic (with omega) adds 50% potency (stacked) until he uses his aoe special, Ultimate firepower. Does this mean: A. A base potency that is at 25% goes to 75% (i.e. An actual 50% gain...

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.
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?
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.
Yeah would be awesome to have a nuke like Darth N but on AOE! May break the game I guess though...(or certainly change the meta)
It does put Callous Conviction Zeta into perspective. At best (in arena) it's 100% extra potency which is the same as 2 basic attacks... I'm not sure that's Zeta quality (unless I'm missing something)
