Squad order and assists question

I was under the impression, that the order in which you create your squad directly translate to order of attacks during assists, mass counters etc.

That's why you should put tenacity down chars first, so the later debufs have a greater chance of succes (like with geos, rebels)

Is that true or not?

Below is movie with JML and JKR direct focus. JKL sits right after JKR, to remove buffs on his basic, then JML to create buff immunity and the GS because he does nothing :).

But on the movie GS attacks first, no matter how I put him. And the enemy has crit immunity, so his attack doesn't hit that hard.

Was I wrong ?:)

Thx for clarification.

    I think the slot order determines uniques. I think assists might be partially determined by animation speed. Scuba probably knows.

    Q: I would like to know what defines “mass assists” attack order such as General Kenobi “Lead The Charge” or C-3PO “Oh My Godness” abilities for instance. Is it the animation delay, the order of the characters on the lineup or something else? I ask it because last week I was told that you could optimize a Geonosian team choosing Alpha to position 1, Sun Fac To position 2, Geonosian Soldier on 3 and so on... According to this guy, this would make Sunc Fac attack first and remove buffs, then geonosian soldier attacks and applies tenacity down and finally Poggle would attack applying ability block. Is that true or the order on the lineup has nothing to do with attacks order on mass assists?

    A: CG_Miller - This is a tricky one. While squad order placement plays a large role in assist order, there are other factors at work here beyond that. If I were determined enough, I would experiment with squad order placement until you find a result you're satified with, and note that changes to the units (from mods to bug fixes) may impact the order.
  • Correct Squad Placement is Important

  • Ok that means that squad order does not determine assists order

    So seems I was wrong.

    But i don't really understand the answer of cg_miller... Seems like he does not want to explain how to correctly determine the assist order.
