It would be nice to get a fix or an explanation by CG as to whether or not this issue in the game is working as intended. I know several people have had the issue. Situation: My Thrawn is taking his turn, I swap his turn meter to my Palpatine. Palpatine should take his turn now because he was just swapped 100% turn meter. Instead, their Nihilus takes a turn, followed by their palpatine and THEN my palpatine gets to take a turn. Costs me the battle because now I've taken an extra cool down on palpatine who can't stun anyone. I've read that the system flips a coin when characters share the same turn meter, but i'm sorry, if i swap turn meter off of Thrawn, the character i'm swapping to should get to take his turn immediately, not after some algorithm decides if he has enough turn meter or not. I'd rather just use fracture if its going to be the flip of a coin.

Are you Dispelling any debuffs when swapping TM? If you are that will feed TM to your opponent's team

No he should not. The character who just received 100% turn meter should go last because he was the last one who received 100% turn meter. But instead the system flips a coin and your palpantine has the chance to go before all other characters who have already 100% turn meter. In fact your thrawn already won a coin flip. So the luck factor was already in your favor.I dont think the game needs a tie breaker for characters reaching 100% turn meter at the same time. But the turn order should be indicated more clearly, e.g. by mini portraits of all characters sorted according to turn order like it is done in other games like divinity - original sin or blackguard.

Having most of your team waiting at 100%tm while the other team catches up and plays before yours is definitely one of the most frustrating aspect of Arena right now.

If you swap TM with Thrawn, it acts as if it expired for the opponent's Palpatine lead, which explains why y'all seeing them gain TM and consequently, play before you because RNG. You're better off relying on your characters' speed and using Fracture on the tank.

unfortunately this is the truth. if you feel its an issue please feel free to post it at <>

multiple toons at 100% TM and who gets a turn is decided by RNG. it doesn't matter how they got there.

i believe they said they are looking into a different way to solve this but that scares me a little.

Welcome to arena, where RNG trumps skill

While true in some cases, this is not one of them. Figure out how it works, use that to your advantage. Limit the influence of RNG with the choices you make before and during battle.
Multiple toons, allies and enemies, at 100% TM is annoying for sure, that's why i try to avoid it (quite succesfully i might add).

Why would you use tm swap when you have fracture available?

Because stunning 5 is better than fracturing 1. Especially if the 1 is Shoretrooper or Sithtrooper.

Except it’s not just characters that share 100% turn meter at the same time. A character could be sitting at 100% turn meter, another character then reaches 100% turn meter and goes first. You see this a lot with imperial troopers under a zeta Veers.
