It's true in game, but considered an exploit. See the Wiki page.

Basically, Defense buffs and debuffs both work in the powers if you could slot them. Normally, you can't slot a Defense Debuff power in a Defense power. If you could, you would choose the Schedule A Defence Debuff over the Schedule B Defense buff.
But Hami-Os allow you to slot them into any power that will accept any part of the enhancment . . . so an Enzyme has ToHitDebuff/DefenseDebuff/EndRdx. Since Defense powers will accept EndRdx, you can slot the Enzyme in the power, where the Defense Debuff applies to enhance the Defense buff.
It is an exploit, but nobody expects it to be fixed anytime soon.
LOCAL MAN! The most famous hero of all. There are more newspaper stories about me than anyone else. "Local Man wins Medal of Honor." "Local Man opens Animal Shelter." "Local Man Charged with..." (Um, forget about that one.)

Oh, my mistake, I thought Def Debuff was schedule B.

Isn't ToHitDebuff part applied as Defense Buff?

Does this effect the Defense Debuff Resistance of a power is the same manner ?
According to Mids, Yes, on powers that have enhanceable DDR Enzymes provide more than other enhancements.

My Mids (set up for i19) is showing Enzymes as Schedule A for both the End and Defense, allowing you to get slightly higher capped Def numbers than with other slotting options.
My question is: is this true in game or is it just a quirk of Mids?
