Why mods effects are so complex to undestand?

Ancient_Thorgils

I have made a test on my CLS.

Total defence 31.34
Mod defence 6.3
CLS base defence 25.04

Playing with my mods i have observed:

1. Removing a mod with defence 2.4% as secondary statistic, the total defence, decrease to 29.27.
So, 2,4% of mod defence stat, correspond to 1.67% in the total defence value.

2. Removing a mod with defence 1.07% as secondary statistic, the total defence, decrease to 30.74.
So, 1,07% of mod defence stat, correspond to 0.6% in the total defence value.

3. Removing a mod with defence as bonus (5% defence), the total defence, decrease to 30.52.
So, 5% of mod defence bonus, correspond to 0.82% in the total defence value.


Observing 1. and 2. and others similar results, yes, it's not simple to find the function:

y = f(x, c)

where x is the mods stats, c is the character and y is the character stats increment.

Question 1: why the relationship between mods values and character values is so complex?
Question 2: why mods stats have absolute value too, so that it's more complex understand the mod effect?


Observing 1. and 3., ... What? It's not possible! 5% defence mod bonus produce only +0.82% in character defence, whereas 2.4% secondary statistic produce +1,67%
So.. question 3: why mods are so absurdly complex?

This complexity is only seen in defense.

Defense used to be a value (which I believe you can still see on swgoh.gg) but now it is represented by armor as a %.

I believe there is some solid explanation but I don't recall where it is.

Sorry, there are errors in point 1 data, so question 3 is not valid.
Thanks for the link.

my personal approach is that most stats aren't worth understanding. more = better, that's about it.
