Potency and Tenacity are two important stats in Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes that play a key role in determining whether or not a detrimental effect will be applied to a character. A character’s Potency is measured against an opponent’s Tenacity when trying to apply a debuff on them. The debuff is applied if the character’s Potency exceeds the opponent’s Tenacity. The debuff is resisted if the opponent’s Tenacity exceeds the character’s Potency.
What does Potency do in Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes?
Potency is a stat in Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes that increases your chance to apply negative status effects, such as debuffs, to your opponents. The higher your potency, the more likely you are to land debuffs on your enemies.
When a character attempts to inflict a debuff on an opponent, their Potency is compared to the opponent’s Tenacity. If the character’s Potency is higher than the opponent’s Tenacity, the debuff is applied successfully. However, if the opponent’s Tenacity is higher than the character’s Potency, the debuff is resisted, and the opponent remains unaffected.
How does Tenacity work in Galaxy of Heroes?
Tenacity is a stat that decreases your chance of being inflicted with negative status effects in Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes. The higher your tenacity, the less likely you are to be affected by debuffs.
When a character attempts to inflict a debuff on an opponent, the opponent’s Tenacity plays a critical role in determining whether the debuff will land. The debuff is effectively applied if the character’s Potency exceeds the opponent’s Tenacity. On the other hand, the debuff is resisted and the opponent is unaffected if their tenacity is greater than the character’s potency.
