Not sure about resistance debuffs, but it looks like damage buffs can affect the player using it: http://coh.redtomax.com/data/powers/...article_Cannon
...I forgot what experience means.
I've never seen anything affect the amount of damage it deals on the head, but I've seen a couple other things besides that single power cause it damage, even though they aren't supposed to.

I can't remember specifically, but last time we ran it, there were some small numbers appearing once in a while as well as the constant for the particle canon. One person said he was using the Thermite Canon on it, a scrapper was attacking it with their Primary powers, and we had an Illusion Control on the team as well. As far as the Illusion goes, it's hard to say if the damage was "imaginary", or if it was from confusing the rikti an/or the tentacles.. or if it didn't have anything to do with that toon at all.|

I'd have to run again and do more testing to find out, but we were happy to take the head down in only 2 "waves", instead of getting stuck with only a little bit left and having to defeat the generators for a third time like usual. I usually grab a Particle cannon and focus my time on spamming that as much as possible, so I don't know how other powers might affect it.
I need to try this trail again now with the new exempting rules. It would be nice to have all but your last power when doing it.

Last two. It exemps you to 40 so you'll be missing the powers you took at 47 and 49.

Way back, I used both a Chemical nuke and a Bio nuke on the hydra head. Neither one changed the damage done. This was back when it was run as a mission, not a task forces, so it's possible that something has changed it since.
