Turn Meter / Speed confusion... what is going on? Help plz

I know there are a lot of variables below, but I have seen huge inconsistencies in arena and other events with this squad, sometimes Paploo goes first as he should... other times C3PO is first, and other times Wicket..... While many of you will not believe it, my Ewok squad below normally beats CLS rebel lead, but this guy beat me twice and I can't understand what's happening with turn order..... can someone explain?

I recorded the start of the second game to analyze it, and here is what happened... I will post the video when I get more time.

My team

  • Chief Chirpa (lead) - speed 258
  • Wicket - speed 259
  • Paploo - speed 279 (223 base speed +25% when he does not have taunt)
  • Ewok Elder - speed 246
  • C3PO - speed 265


Every basic attack from my squad should grant them 20% turn meter from Chirpa. Wicket grants 10% ™ from critical hits, and Elder grants 25% from basics on entire team (60% chance).

Opponent

  • Commander Luke - speed 234
  • Han Solo - speed 194
  • Chewbacca - speed 238
  • R2D2 - speed 253
  • C3PO - speed 207


CLS - grants 10% and 5% TM when allies get hit or resist debuffs. In this match, almost 0 debuffs were resisted.

Based strictly on Speed, the order should be:

  • OP - Han Shoots First -
  • ME - Paploo - speed 279
  • ME - C3PO - speed 265
  • ME - Wicket - speed 259
  • ME - Chief Chirpa - speed 258
  • ME - Ewok Elder - speed 246
  • OP - R2D2 - speed 253
  • OP - Chewbacca - speed 238
  • OP - Commander Luke - speed 234


    Actual Game Play Order as it occurred:

  • OP Han Shoots First - Stuns Chief Chirpa
  • ME - C3PO (1) attack (applies 3 debuffs, no TM bonus from CLS)
  • ME - Ewok Elder (1) attacks (no turn meter bonus)
  • OP - CLS (1) Attacks
  • OP - R2D2 (1) uses special ability (no turn meter bonuses)
  • ME - Paploo (1) attacks (applies 3 debuffs, no TM bonus from CLS)
  • OP - C3PO (1) uses special calling assists
  • OP - Han Solo (1) uses special
  • ME - Wicket (1) attacks, calling Ewok Elder to assist (turn meter bonus applied to team)
  • OP - CLS (2) Attacks
  • ME - Ewok Elder (2) uses special, calls assist from Paploo (debuffs applied, no CLS bonus)


    Off the bat, why is C3PO first, followed by Elder? That already seems out of order. Elder is slower than Wicket and Chief Chirpa.......

      Did 3po by chance call elder with his special (gave him translate..) .. under chirpa that would grant elder 20% tm

      Are you factoring in the speed 3P0 gets from his unique, Protocol Droid? It's up to +20, depending on what level the ability is, which would bump him to 285, making him your fastest member.

    • Ok, so my C3PO is up to 285 speed, thanks, missed that....
    • Yes, I used C3PO to call Elder, who did not grant my team 25% on his attack, but gave self 20% TM.
    • Then he attacked on his own, again did not grant team 25% ™ to team.
    • I see CLS gained 20% turn meter off Ewok Elder's 2 attacks so he went next.
    • But why did R2D2 go next, before my Wicket or Paploo, who are both faster. As my opponent did not resist any debuffs, they should not have gained TM from CLS yet... so Paploo should go next, then Wicket. This is where I lost cause I needed either of them to engage Paploo's taunt, which normally happens, but not in this case.


      Thanks all

      CLS have IBAT zeta’d? That’s 10% tm to CLS and 5% to his allies for every debuff he inflicts. He’ll open with Call to Action and then Use the Force for two debuffs applied and/or resisted so 10% tm to all his allies if IBAT is zeta’d.

      Thanks Camaro, I'll check the vid. That would probably explain it.

      As someone who has a lot of experience with ewoks, always call Logray with Paploo's first move. Don't taunt. Use second special and call Logray.
