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):

Nice! Good to know, maybe I'll try it out too.
Let us know how it goes... also, I'm curious if the stacking Potency is exclusive to just The Pit or if there's some carry-over on Haat too.
.
Well I just tried it out and it stacked through the phases of Rancor, but I unleashed in P4 and somehow the numbers didn't appear. It did do about 10% of P4. Now I'm more interested in whether it's possible to somehow use Darth Sidious Leadership to stack a lot of offense for the Sith through HAAT phases.
Same. I managed to not get devoured and with about 40% remaining in P4 I DROPPED THE HAMMER, here it comes, Ultimate Firepower -- but... it was like throwing a paper airplane at the Rancor instead. I want to know the secret sauce behind registering the big AOE during P4 because I did precisely what the guy on Reddit who posted 1.3mil did yet it was a dud. So far I've only been able to register the big damage with the door down.
As @Gaidal_Cain pointed out, Tarkin's AOE effectiveness comes in nickels and pennies. The previous Pit, after I dropped a half mil, I spent the second half of the solo using UF for TMR whenever Jyn or Teebo failed and didn't come close to losing a single toon.
