Set 3 datacrons have a faction bonus (level 6) for Nightsisters and Sith to gain offense equal to 400% defense, and then lose 50% defense.

Mechanics page: https://swgoh.gg/db/datacrons/3/ability/ability_set_nightsister_001/5/

The top line effect datacron_faction_generic_012_handler calls 6 effects. The order is

1. Check armor

2. Check resistance

3. Increase physical offense 

4. Increase special offense

5. Reduce armor

6. Reduce resistance

Based on that order, the armor number in step 1 is not used to increase offense because the context value is overwritten in step 2. The resistance number increases physical offense, and then maybe also special offense or maybe not (context values usually don't persist).

I believe the intent here would be accomplished by rearranging the effect order to be: 1, 3, 2, 4, 5, 6
