TFP vs Yoda

I run a Jedi arena team. In the battle, the opponent's TFP put Tenacity Down on my QGJ. Then, I did Yoda's Battle Meditation which puts Tenacity Up... except it didn't on QGJ. The Tenacity Down stayed. Why? Shouldn't it have at least brought it back to normal, no buff or debuff? What am I missing?

    Tenacity down can be applied through tenacity up, and they cancel eachother out.

    Debuffed of the opposite buff are stronger. Offense down on a char that gain Offense up stay offense down. It's the same for every nemesis.

    They cancel each other out, but the icon above the character is always the first to be applied.

    Tenacity Up doesn't cancel Tenacity Down out. If the target has Tenacity Down, it will only have the base 15% Tenacity, regardless if you put Tenacity Up on said character. Tenacity Up only works if you cleanse

    Yes, exactly, it cancels it out. Tenacity Up gives 9999% tenacity, Tenacity down lowers resistance to the base 15% chance. If you apply Tenacity Down to a character with Tenacity Up, it's like they have neither buff and potency/tenacity checks take place as normal.

    So, a debuff can eliminate a buff, but not the other way around? That's dumb.

    Tenacity Up grants 999900%
    Tenacity Down grants -999900%

    Despite what you see on buff bars, they actually cancel out perfectly.

    You can see this through swgoh.gg mechanics.

    You can not buff to effectively cleanse a debuff, only cleanse can rid yourself of a debuff.... right?

    Mostly. If you have Offense Up, that's +25% (?) offense. Offense Down is -25% offense. Unclear if *those* cancel or if the second one is using the new stats with the first buff.

    Tenacity up and Tenacity down cancel each other out. Net tenacity gain/loss is 0.

    So, ignore that the icon didn't change?

    Yeah. Tenacity down will always show if they have both buffs. But it won't change anything. Just counts as a debuff.
