His Unique after Zeta only gives you extra 20% Potency since there's only 1 debuffed enemy (Rancor). You're not going to get much extra damage out of that.

But the 60 basic attacks would have built up potency each time.

The 20% would have affected his defense only, which is where the 1 foe comes in. And I would think that'd be good for P3 of haat with all the Droids.

The 60 basic attacks would have built up 3000% Potency, having 3020% Potency is not going to change the damage much.

And I was referring specifically to Geonosian_Spy and his heroic Rancor experience. I wouldn't know if Tarkin is any good in HAAT P3.

I think that the description of his basic can be interpreted in several ways - mathematically. With a couple of different methods I calculated that with 40% potency at the start of the encounter Tarkin could deal between 180% and 600% total damage using Ultimate Power if he built up potency over 5 turns. But there are still other ways to interpret the description of his basic all of which I did not take into consideration.

Edit: I do not think that 3000% is a realistic result.

I don't know what interpretation you're using but you can take a look at the Ability Mechanics, the Potency bonus is Additive, not multiplicative. 5 basic shots means he gets 250% Potency on top of his starting 40% gives 290%. 60 basic shots would give 60 x 50 = 3000% Potency. His Unique also gives Potency additively, hence why I said 3020%, without taking into account starting Potency values of course.

Maybe. And what do 3000% mean? Damage multiplied by 30? I really use Tarkin in GW and raids and have not seen any damage above 200%.

The Potency only stacks till you fire off Ultimate Firepower. If you did 60 basic shots then Ultimate Firepower, damage of UF would be multiplied 30 times. I believe this stacking does not carry over i.e. Does not stack across GW nodes or Raid Phases.

Actually the Potency does stack across Rancor Raid phases (but not GW)
Am yet to try Tarkin in P3 HAAT. He's cleaning up in The Pit however; after stacking up Potency through the entirety of P1 & P2, just unleashed Ultimate Firepower 1st door down in P3 for 500K+ (sorry don't know how to embed):
