What does k2so zeta do?

I have zata'd him. It is quite noticeable too, as by match end he's an absolute TREE standing back there with full protection and hp.

Ok so on to the question.....his zeta increases his TOTAL protection by 1% compounding. This does not replenish his protection, as Jyn lead does that for you. I will use my K2 protection pool and show the math up to 5 attacks:

Initial protection: 45, 549 (use tenacity cross and accuracy arrow, this his protection is low)

1st time taking damage: 45, 549+(1% of 45, 549) = 46, 004

2nd time taking damage: 46, 004+(1% of 46, 004) = 46, 464

3rd time: 46, 464+(1% of 46, 464) = 46, 928

4th time: 46, 928+(1% of 46, 928) = 47, 397

5th time: 47, 397+(1% of 47397) = 47, 870

So after the first round of enemy attacks, he's increased his total protection by 2, 321.

Since he constantly taunts and jyn replenishes his protection, I've been impressed by his durability.

No, he increased his max protection. Given that zJyn regens 5% protection (or ~2500), everybody is hitting him harder than that (hell, even tanks can hit for 2500 dmg) he won't have gained 2,321 prot. He'll have gained 2,321 MAX prot. What he'll actually have gained from his zeta is:

0.05 * 455 + 0.05 * (455 + 460) + 0.05 * (455 + 460 + 465) + 0.05 * (455 + 460 + 465 + 469) + 0.05 * (455 + 460 + 465 + 469 + 474) = 346 protection (plus some for the fact that as his max protection grows and his prot% stays the same, he gains some protection in any case, but this depends on how much % he has left: 2,321 in the very best case scenario, and if hit by a couple of heavy hitters, it's quickly down to 0 benefits (because all his prot was knocked off).

This is REALLY miserable for the investment of a zeta (note that Jyn's zeta is very much worth it, and is probably what is causing you to "feel" the longevity). You can get more protection from a single secondary stat on a single mod than from this zeta. It *might* be worth it in a raid or other prolonged fight, but I really doubt it. Especially since the Maul fix for raids and the enrage timer.
