Red leader mistake?

Hey,

sorry for the stupid question..

wedge's unique (red leader).. I dont understand that. https://swgoh.gg/characters/wedge-antilles/

does he get 4x 15 speed or 1x? There stands, including defeated ally. I just do not understand it. He has 132 pace, gets some bonuses and I have AA as a leader. How much does he have in the fight?
does get Ackbar at "all allies receiving 21 pace" also for themselves?

Sorry and greetings
  • He counts himself as an ally:

    Everyone over 100% health: 5x9 speed = +45 speed bonus to start
    After that, whenever someone drops under 100% health one of the +9s turns to +15 so if everyone is under 100% health (or dead, dead people count too) it could be +75 speed.

    His speed bonus isn't shown in his stats, and neither is the ackbar lead.

    So it's whatever his speed stat shows, 132 + 45 + 21 (Maxed ackbar will give +25). So his starting speed will be 198
  • Wedge's Red Leader when Omega'd gives +9 speed for each ally. That's +45 speed at the outset because he counts as an ally. If Biggs is present he gets +45 speed too. If one of those allies dies this speed jumps to +15 per ally so he could conceivably get +75 speed if everyone including himself is hurt. This allows him to outspeed AA or Lando-led teams which give a speed bonus to everyone (+25 for AA, +15 for Lando).

    To really make Wedge a speed demon, try AA as the lead. This gives +25 speed to all Rebels (check) + 45 speed for Red Leader unique (check) to give +70 speed. Throw on a speed arrow and some good speed secondaries and Wedge goes from a base of 110 to 200+.
  • I thank you! I'm only level 70 and have not been long. I could not believe he got 5x + Speed.

    I play Ackbar (L), Wedge, Biggs, Lando and Sun Fac. Would Wedge work as a leader, and for Ackbar, for example, would STH or who else? I'm still trying. I have given Wedge Crit mods and health mods, Biggs crit damage and pace. (He always criticizes the skill). Do you have tips on what I could optimize?
  • AA for Speed and chance to double attack with special use (read: if a Rebel uses a special attack under an AA lead another Rebel will use their basic attack). Wedge for Crits and heals (Wedge's leader for healing with Crits makes him the best healer in the game, provided of course you are running Rebels).

    I'd actually ditch Sun Fac - he's great and all but gets no bonus from a Rebel team (he really only gets a bonus from Poggle who no one is really running these days, does well in a Dark Side team due to his debuffing ability). StH (Stormtrooper Han) works a lot better as does K2-SO.
  • Yeah I changed between AA and wedge in galactic, but in arena I am undecided. I I use tactical genius and landos aoe as you say.

    Sun Fac? Hmm. He is my absolute favorite character in SWGoH. I just can not remove it. He can stay alive alone. Wedge deals a debuff every time, so Sun Fac can heal and dispel buffs. Its important against the chaze meta. STH is also great, but my sun has double health and protection. Turnmeter is great, but Sun Fac can do much more. ^ ^ Have previously renounced the rebel boni, also works quite well. I am always top 10-20. He shoots back, lowers the crit chance, heals himself, removes buffs and turnmeters. I really do not want to remove it.

    What do you say to Leia, Scarif and the rest? Days counted?
