Ok, i'm a bit confused about tenacity/potency interaction. 3 days ago CG_Kozispoon (dev team) wrote this:"Defender's chance to resist = Defender's Tenacity.Attacker's Potency, minimum 15%.If you have 30% tenacity and somebody hits you with 15% potency, you have a 15% chance to resist. You'd also have a 15% chance to resist if they had 50% potency, or 50000%."https://forums.galaxy-of-heroes.starwars.ea.com/discussion/57672/clarification-on-tenacity-potencyProbably my IQ is too low, but if this is true, potency doesn't matter but only tenacity.

"leef;580922" wrote:minimum chance to resist doesnt change whether the attacker has equal potency or much more potency. If you have 100% tenacity and the attacker has 0% potency you'd have a 85% chance to resist. you will always have a minimum of 15% chance to resist and to hit. everything between 15% and 85% is determined by the difference between potency and tenacity of the characters involved.atleast, that is what i think @CG_Kozispoon said.So if someone hit you with 40%potency and you have mod, which makes your tenacity 42%, the chance to resist is 17%? If that's what you're saying, tenacity mods are useless - you'll have 15% chance even without this mod.

15% potency attacking a 30% tenacity = 15% chance to resist. 100% potency attacking a 30% tenacity = 15% chance to resist.That leads me to conclude that you need atleast a difference of 15% in order to have a higher chance to resist than without tenacity (0%) But doesnt it seem odd that a debuff has 85% chance to land even if the defending toon has 15% more tenacity than the attacker has potency ?

Check out the post linked above @SNAKEMAN , though I think the forums formatting of my original response may of mislead folks into taking what I said a wee bit off the deep end.

Defender has 50 tenacity. You have 5 potency = Defender has 45% chance to resist.
You have 10 potency, defender has 40% chance to resist etc.

until you get to 35 potency, when the defender has a 15% chance to resist any more potency past that is useless against THAT target, because they can't have a lower resist chance than 15%
So if you have 50% potency, they still have a 15% chance to resist. Or if you have 100% potency, or 100000% (Mind you, this has NOTHING to do with the trigger chance on effects, either)

This explanation made sense to me, but I had one question that I'm not sure if someone has the answer - When Dengar does the tenacity down, does that effect the 15% chance or does it get involved in the calculation with tenacity and potency before the 15% minimum goes into play? I'm assuming the latter, but just wanted to see if there was any confirmation.

Let me jump in here with a Q? So regarding 55555's ability to land speed down on herioc p2 tank . Whats going to be optimum potency? Am I wasting by having a 24%cross on 5's . Could be more effective having an offense% cross there.

Necro. Try and check the date on these threads before you post. I suggest starting a new thread from your question.
