When doing Arena battles my characters sometimes flip flop spot on the battlefield. Example:1st Arena battle today: Bastilla in middle, Hermit front right, GMY back right, Ezra Front left, Old Been back left. (This is 99% of the time the order)2nd Arena battle today: Bastilla middle, Hermit BACK right, GMY FRONT right, Ezra front left, Old Been front left.Why did my Yodas switch? It's really frusting when I select Hermit instead of GMY for Ezra's or Bastilla's call to assist. I know they're by height now, but 99% of the time Hermit is in front. What cause them to switch so rarely?

Because CG thinks you’re too silly to arrange your own units so they auto arrange it for you along with some random musical chair placements every now and then.

Just let us arrange OUR OWN team. You can auto arrange the enemy team however you want CG.

The difference is a matter of a fraction of a second so I'm not surprised you are only getting the swap 1% of the time. Wow, this is actually the reason why. Good catch. I was able to consistently replicate my Yoda's switching by entering before they're rendered. Who would have thought it was a rendering bug? Well done! Thank you!

A while back they implemented a system that placed toons in positions based on height, they ate probably the same height and will be placed differently due to RNG.

Characters changing positions between Arena battles?

That would be super annoying. Bad enough I already call the wrong yoda for an assist sometimes, and that's without them moving.

Yeah but RNG would mean the Yodas would switch evenly. GMY is 99% in the back.

It could also be based on some arbitrary stat. Maybe you tweaked something that caused the change? There must be a reason, it's just not obvious.

No, these were literally back to back trying to climb up before payout. Didn't change a thing. The one after was back my normal lineup too. It's happened to me a few times before but haven't posted about it because I thought it was me. But nothing changed between my three attempts.

Rng does NOT mean they would swap evenly,
