Evasion vs. Potential

To be untouchable, or to heal + have extra power when using tension arts, which one did you blades pick for their avatar? And what is your highest # of it? (Also I have 1 question for potential users, What does potential do other than help your skell while riding it? Skells don't have tension arts.)

    What do you mean hard caps at 95%? Does that mean it's useless to have +500 evasion?

    Hard cap at 95% means that no matter how high you stack evasion, there is always a 5% chance for an enemy to hit you.

    That doesn't mean its completely useless of course, just that the possibility of instantly getting killed regardless of evasion exists.

    So if I want to rely on evasion late game, I need to be able to end the my battles very quickly.

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It's 5%. Its a gamble no matter what

    5% CHANCE?!?! ....... ....... What a gamble! But, if you can buff/gear up the whole team near this rating, you'll "NEVER" lose! Still there is the "Odds" of losing, when each person can have been beaten by a quick or area-of-effect defeat... I bet a hacker (or a genius) would be would be able to show approximate odds for defeat. Still, thank's for the news!!

    @Silvace: You'd be surprised. That 5% can easily assure a 100% casualty rating on the offchance that the enemy connects. Especially if you've dedicated all your team's armor slots to evasion up augments. Enemies such as Coronids, Xe-dom, Elivira and Hartmut can all spam a ridiculous amount of shots at once. If any of them connects, you're basically dead, so I never rely solely on evasion.

    *continued My team survives on three things: 1. Attribute resistant armor (mainly beam and electric). 2. Group heals + evasion buffs (my avatar is team medic, so it's her primary function). 3. Team overdrive abuse to buzzsaw through the enemy's HP quickly.

    Wow... I forgoten about those enemys. Likewise this IS a gamble. Ok, um, NEW question, Other than evasion- how effective is potential at its full use and what kind of strategy would you need?

    Define full use. It can be used for Heavy Hits (single hit super high damage), or as a powerful stat for art to scale off (due to how potential buffs/auras work and the high art scaling of tp arts)

    Wow! Thank you for the info, I think I'll tweak my build now! So defense is better compared to evasion I'm guessing?

    @zer0: It's much safer, yes. A strong defense assures that if any of your team takes a hit, there's much less chance of them dying. And you can further ensure their survival by a healer with you at all times. My avatar is basically a faster, stronger version of Irina (with a 0 cooldown build), so she can spam heal the entire team and feed them TP rapidly. So we almost never die.

    *typo: I meant, /having/ a healer with you at all times. My party has two: Xiva (my avatar) and Doug, who has Astral Horizon + Astral Heal and Purge, which allows him to act as our backup healer.

    Sounds like a challenge! Truthfully I never done a full potential team, now I might have to rethink this on my team. Some evasive members, and a few potential tanks. This maybe a great experiment to try.

    Defense is bad, it simply subtracts damage. If you meant resistances, which divides, then its better in most cases. Still, a 95% chance to evade attacks is nice. Its up to you
