Ship speed

Mods on heroes give a flat bonus based on dots and levels. Any 5* lvl 15 mod gives the same bonus as any other.

If that's the case why do my ships change who goes first every fight? And why do some opponents go first when I have full 5 dot mods on everyone? MAKes no sense

Pretty sure mods aren't the only thing that adds speed. Gear levels and stars mean quite a bit as well.

This is probably because some ships hit full TM at the same time calling in RNG to decide who goes first - just like in the squad arena. You might check if any of the ships - both yours and your opponent's - have the same speed.

To get max speed for a particular ship then you need 5* lvl 15 mods, Pilot 7* with g11 and all (YES ALL) pieces that can be added. Also I believe omefas and zetas also affect. 1 more speed on tie fighter pilot means he will go first.

Here is a good guide I usually reference
