PSA: Invasion is affected by Power Restoration / Defense Passives (and other mechanics)
###TL;DR: Take Invasion 5B and Support System 5A for max Invasion debuff.
Some questions came up in a Discord conversation on Invasion mechanics... With the addition of Platinum, everyone is trying to min-max damage as much as possible. This has come up before but I figured it would be a good time to bring it up again.
The Support Systems Passive in Ranks 2 and 5A contain Power Restoration / Defense passives (20% and 30% respectively). It's likely not known / remembered by a lot of players to scale the Invasion Debuff.
For example, Operator A has Invasion 5A and Support Systems 5B. This gives him a total of 30% Invasion Debuff and 20% Power Restoration / Defense. His actual Invasion debuff would be 1+.3 + (.3 * .2) = 1.36x damage on Invaded target.
Operator B has Invasion 5B and Support Systems 5A, for a total of 40% Invasion Debuff and 50% Power Restoration. Operator B's actual Invasion Debuff would equal 1 + .4 + (.4 * .5) = 1.6x damage on Invaded targets.
Other Mechanics
- Invasion still does not trigger ET or Tech Sabotage. ET is understandable and may be working as intended but Tech Sabotage seems to be wrong judging by the tool tip.
