Squad discipline's mechanics

Rex is quite good but I am debatting myself on how to use him

At the moment, I give him the lead of my squad (Kylo/GK/DN/Boba) and the higher Speed (247). My question is about the squad discipline ability.

It says : Dispel all negative status effects on all allies and grant them Tenacity Up for 3 turns. Clone allies gain 60% Turn Meter, plus an additional 10% Turn Meter for each effect dispelled this way, and other allies gain half that amount.

I highlighted what concerns me.

Imagine that my Rex is going first in the match, uses Squad Discipline. First, he will apply Tenacity up for everyone, no dispel. Then, he will add 60% TM to himself, and 30% TM for all the others, am I right?

  • On defense of your toons have no debuffs he won't use discipline first because he uses it mainly as a cleanse and not a source of tm gain. But if he were to use it then yeah the tm gain is right.
  • Thanks a lot for the answer!

    Basically, it's better to make him go second or even third so?

    Depends what you're facing and whether or not you want to mod your team's turn order for offense or defense. Some cases it's better to have him go first so on Offense you can use his TM gain and push all of your team to 100% TM to go before the other team. On defense if he goes first he will use Subdue first unless there are debuffs present, which isn't a horrible move, but it's not always the first thing you want Rex to do depending on your opponents and your team combination as well.

    In your case it might be nice to have Boba go first to use his AOE ability block. Also keep in mind if you're facing Baze, Baze will get TM whenever his opponents gain a buff so if you use Squad Discipline for the Tenacity Up right away, Baze could get pushed to 100% TM as well and dispel all the tenacity up.
  • Understood, thanks

    My shard is now mainly Rex lead with chaze/R2 or GK/DN, GK L with Chaze/R2 and Nihilus or the Jedi. So Boba could be a good option. I will slow down Rex to go second
