Thanks for answering my question, but I was asking about changing TW defense squads DURING the setup phase, not after it has concluded.

Characters lock at the end of the preview phase, so there would be no way to move mods, upgrade toon, or things like that. I think we all understand why that's important.

I'm asking about changing squad lineups/positions on the field during the setup phase BEFORE offense phase starts. Can we not get the ability to move or change squad lineups?

Let's say I go in to place a team, but accidentally set the wrong leader. Or my guild decides to adjust a strategy and put all Phoenix in one territory in the bottom and mine are in the top. If it's still defense setup phase, it would be great if I could just click to remove a squad I had placed and reset it elsewhere or change the lineup (edit the leader or swap a toon I'd maybe decide to use elsewhere). Again, this is before offense, so it's not affecting matchmaking. It doesn't make sense to me that these squads are permanently set as soon as you place them, despite the fact that the matchmaking and offense phase could be hours and hours away still.

Since this was answered with a misunderstanding of my original question, can I please get a redo? Thanks and thanks again for doing the Q&A! (Original question quoted below)

Hey CG, thanks for this opportunity. I have a few small questions, but my self selected, priority one is....
Why can we not change/edit/move Defense squads in TW during the setup phase?

My bad, here’s your redo.

I don’t know but I think it was something we didn’t think of before TW launches (it’s not always easy to think of all the ways people will use or have issues with a system. And since then it hasn’t surfaced to be a pervasive issue. I’ll put it down on our QoL list though and see how much work it would be (it would require client work to select and undo a squad and possibly some other edge cases I’m too tired to think of right now.)

I’m sure you saw we did take defaulting most powerful squads into the TW select squad screen because we saw a lot of people accidentally hitting deploy with the wrong squad autopopulating. That is the first step to this fix and is an indicator that we will continue to improve this system.

Thanks for the clarification!
