Wait, why does my BP tank yellow instead of Patch?

My BP and Patch both do 61 on yellow, but no matter which placement I set them at, even with Patch in the center tanking spot, BP is the one that matches yellow. What gives??

Guess I should start leveling BP again because there's no reason to keep him at that level anymore...

    Just to clarify the decimal only matters bc patch' s third color strength is yellow and bp's first color strength is yellow.

    If theyre the same color strength at the same lvl the decimal is the same, making placement always the determining factor. For example if bp and falcon (KAW!) are at the same level bp will tank blue and yellow if theyre positioned correctly bc yellow's 1st for both and blue is second for both.

    First color strength for BP actually.

    And here I was planning to let Patch tank yellow while I build up the ISO to level BP by a large jump icon_e_sad.gif

    Silly decimals, who comes up with this stuff?

    Center char takes the color 1º, then the one on the left side and last the right one (2º-1º-3º).
    So if 2 char have the same value on a color gem the one on center will take it. For example u got BP on center and patch on the left, then BP will take yellow, if patch on center its patch that take yellow.

    a) Placement only determines values if they are already identical (same rarity, level and colour ties, e.g. Patchneto: lvl 166 Patch and Magneto share strengths for red/yellow, so putting Patch in center allows him to take priority over Magneto).
    b) BP and Patch are completely different since yellow is tertiary to Patch and primary to BP. Decimal points only lose their meaning in case a). It's possible for Patch to lose yellow to BP as early as BP level 117-118, no matter how you place them.

    Wow. I was super confused why Patchneto tanking colors are all over the place. Thanks for the clarification.
