Latent Power increases your Affinity and reduces your stamina depletion by a set amount after being in combat for 2 minutes or getting hit between 120 to 150 points of damage, whichever comes first. The bonus increases with the Latent Power level.
The effect of Latent Power also lasts for 2 minutes, and can be extended further with the set skill Thunderous Roar.
| How to Activate Latent Power |
|---|
 Remain in Combat for Two (2) Minutes Take 120 to 150 Points of Damage |
The main condition for activating Latent Power is to be around a monster for 2 minutes. While active, the affinity and stamina bonuses last for two minutes, after which you'll need to wait two minutes for Latent Power to activate again. Taking or dealing damage does not appear to speed up the cooldown.
Once Latent Power activates, you can track the remaining time on the upper left portion of your screen right above your health bar.
Latent Power's duration can be increased with the Thunderous Roar skill by wearing Rey Dau armor. Equipping two pieces extends the effect by 30 seconds while 4 pieces extends it by up to 90 seconds.
Rey Dau's Voltage Set Bonus Effects
Taking enough damage while Latent Power is equipped can immediately activate the skill. Based on our testing, taking between 120 and 150 damage in total while a monster is around will activate the skill even before the usual 2-minute activation. Although risky, it's one way to get the bonuses faster.

The damage to activate they state here is the amount "you" take. Not deal. This skill sense it came out in the monster hunter series has always been one you can rush activate via tanking damage. OR waiting for it to turn on it own after a timer.

I think you also need to be in a detected state when taking damage to speed it up, maybe to prevent activation from barrel bombing yourself when no monsters are nearby?
