If you make Wedge go first, you are gonna have a bad time. On defense, he will AOE first and against a counter team like Phoenix, that triggers an instant group hug filled with pain. Biggs must go first to increase the chance that Wedge is still around to assist.

I have been playing with wedge and biggs from the beginning of my game. I have tried both setups, and i can guarantee you that when wedge goes first, the enemy dies faster and that is without a major loss in defense.

On defense, any toon with aoe is terrible, and the AI is worse than terrible. For a wiggs team to perform better on defense, you need an autotaunt like GK or Baze. Furthermore, you would be better off adding r2 to the mix so that when wedge does his silly aoe on defense he is cloaked, but it still gives turn meter to Rex teams.

Offense is easy in this game. A team that can beat you with your biggs first cam beat you with your wedge first. I have experienced what you are describing for myself, and i can say without a doubt that inflicting defense down and killing the opposing g12 wedge or g11 kanan or whoever dps they have and climbing with easy is far better than worrying about how the AI will deal with these two characters.

The OP is having trouble on offense, so he needs to deliver more damage. Defense down is one of the best debuffs in the game.

If you have trouble on offense, that team will crush your defense, so you need to make some changes.

With wiggs, i now use r2, leia and GK. I put r2 first, then leia to make sure she gets her omega cloak benefits. But then wedge puts defense down before biggs special. In this case, i get less damage from leia's first attack, but even on offense, if wedge crits he will give TM to Rex teams that might spoil leia's perma-cloak and offense up. But wedge should always go before biggs in my experience.
