In what order are mass assists called? What I'm questioning is this: When I use General Hux and my first order team, and I use his mass assist, in what order is everyone else called to attack. For example, if KRU is called first, then he lands his tenacity down, which then allows FOE to score a critical hit because the target is debuffed. So is there an order or is it random?

swgoh.gg doesn't give any details, but I would guess it is in the order of placement (same reason 5s should be in the 5th slot). It would make the most sense for a loop over the team from a coding perspective.

It's the animation. The character with the fastest animation will land the first hit and so on...

It should be the placement order from lead to 5th spot... this is why some geo teams are tough and some are easy to kill... same goes with clones... placement order is important but this wasn't ever thought out by the devs... the game appears to go through team event motions like revives and assists based on ally spot. This is why if 5s is in the second slot he wont sacrifice himself if someone in the 4th slot dies (because when game checks for if ally died no allies died because the game hasnt processed the info from the dead ally in the 4th spot at the time its processing 5s ability in the 2nd slot.)Animations happen fast or slow but always begin at same time so fast animations will appear to land first but that doesn't mean that the working ability actually is applied in the same order as the animation occurs.It would be nice for devs to confirm mass assists but I doubt they even know how it should work or how it works... they just happy it hasnt broke yet.

I always assumed it was either RNG or in order of birth.

Blaster fire wins over KRU running up to someone and slashing them. I’ve also noticed that even though GMY is slower, he does get foresight after attacking late (opponent at > 50% health before mass assist) and I think he also gets defense penetration after his attack is over if the assists drops it below 50% healthNeed to double check this info on GMYHe gains the buff when he attacks (starts the animation) not when he deals damage. So in the case of a GK mass assist, GMY is going to gain the buff based on how much health the target has after GK lands the hit, which is when the assist animation starts.

I’m also very curious for some proof. Seems like the character placement would be the most consistent and logical way to determine order of attacks... but it does seem like the animations are the determining factor. I’ve noticed it especially during Sep Droid battles in GTB, it seems like B1 will kill enemies with his assist before GG can get his attacks off on occasion, stripping me of the Sep Loyalty stacks. But how would you determine the orders when animations were the same speed? If it really is by animation speed... seems shoddy to me.

This is the correct answer.

Proof?

More than two years ago, but same rules apply now:
https://forums.galaxy-of-heroes.starwars.ea.com/discussion/158724/what-determines-the-order-of-gk-assists#latest

It always goes by animation speed. Character slot, turn meter...nothing else matters. IIRC @CG_SBCrumb (or someone else?) addressed this in a Q&A or something not long after GK was released.

The other note about GMY is also PARTIALLY correct. “IF THEN” conditions on attacks trigger when they are coded in the ability mechanics. If it’s before the damage (I.e. GMY) it is when the animation starts. If it is after the damage, it is when the character inflicts the damage during their animation (i.e. CLS). Swgoh.gg mechanics can help with that.

Two examples I know work for proof include Thawn/Nihilus (speed up, then dispel for ability block) and Wedge/CLS (defense down and immediate Stun).

Hux calls mass assists? LOL. Can't wait to try fledgling Hux FO teams against Jawas.

You can try using negotiator lead and call Mass Assist AOE attack and notice Anakin’s ETA always attacks last because of his start up animation is too long compared to others
