I couldn't get video files to upload here (not sure if it's supposed to accept videos or not), so I just put it on my YouTube channel.

The video clearly shows that defense penetration is increasing the damage of Bistan's U-Wing, and that he does less damage than expected when he doesn't have defense penetration up. Defense penetration should add nothing to an attack that ignores defense. That's why my logical conclusion is that it's not ignoring defense in the first place.
Nice, thanks for the video:
There are 4 attacks from Bistan U-Wing vs the Bigg's X-wing on this video. All 4 attacks are on Bistan's turn, while stealthed. 2 of them had Def Penetration, and 2 did not.
Two hits without DefPen: 32,686 & 31,801
Two hits WITH DefPen: 42,235 & 43,236
There's definitely something going on. Either "ignore defense" isn't setting the Armor/Resistance to 0 (thus letting DefPen reduce it even further), or DefPen can reduce A/R levels to negative values, further increasing damage.

Thanks for the video, looking in the backend at how Bistan's U-wing basic works as compared to Defense Penetration Up, there might be an issue. I've submitted a ticket for review with the game team now.So someone on YouTube found the problem and I wanted to relay it here. The mechanics page on swgoh.gg says Bistans attack adds 999900% armor penetration to his attack. The problem is he has 0 armor penetration, so that is still 0. Either the mechanism for ignoring armor needs changed or Bistan needs to be given a small amount of natural armor penetration.
Well, the mechanics say additive, so the fact that it's 0 shouldn't matter.
It looks like it's modifying "armor penetration percent" just like Sidious does (although Sidious is only 100%), whereas Defense Penetration Up modifies the flat values. But again, since it's additive, that should go on top of the 0.
