Does anyone know if his ability to increase defense pen actually means armor pen and special pen???? I mean he at full max has 0 defense pen and an ability that increases his defense pen by 100%+ the zeta shares it with other droids.. so is this ability a complete and utter waste or does someone have knowledge if it's just a stupid bugged typo???

And about the DefPen's definition, i think it means both Armor and Resistance Pen. Armor, Crit Immunity and Accuracy stat from Mods works the same way.
Critical avoidance % added means that geos gains that amount,% defense penetration added means that % of the base is added to base.
+100% in not equal 2x as it is additive and not multilplicative. Like the +15% offense on mods.
And by identical comparison, offense means physical and special damage. Thus armor penetration means armor and resistance penetration.
You could argue about or check the info on swgoh.gg about it clicking Level 8 on the page:

About how the penetrations work, it's not that complicated. The ammount of penetration substract P/S defense. Then armor/resistance are calculated (as they hae always been calculated values based on the defenses) and the resultant % is stripped from the total damage of the attack.
Not 0%+(0%×100%)=0%
I have both of T3’s zetas and this is basically it lol. My JTR, R2, bb8, 3PO team does a lot more damage in P1 of STR since getting the zeta so yea no idea how it works but better than not having it.
I find it hard to sacrifice him in a droid setup...
.... kinda makes me wonder who’s spot he’s gonna take for this new Grevious team that’s right around the corner
Good luck waiting for that. In the meantime, your question has been answered and you have discarded the answer.
The majority of mechanics like this can be explained by reading the detailed swgoh.gg descriptions.

Also, it really, litterally says + 100% defense penetration. Its not multiplying anything. Plus will always be plus, and nothing can change the definition of what that means, whether it be in the form of percents, square feet, degrees, etc. Its adding percentages. Its basic math presented as a sentence, rather than an equation.
If I have 0% of a pizza plus 100% of a pizza I have 100% of pizza, or in other words, a pizza...
I'm no scientist, but I am an elementary school teacher and this description is no different than the story problems that 4th graders learn. Its not bad wording. His ability is very clearly worded.
Oh Man. Offense doesnt say is physical and special attack bonus and I don't see any complains about it. As I said way before. It's the exact same thing with defense penetration.

There is nothing in there that should confuse anyone. It wasn't a matter of higher intelligence at all in proving that.
Its 4th grade math dude!
