BB-8 in suicide squads always out-speed me.I’m running Shaak Ti & Clones with Thrawn in arena. My Rex has 309 speed after mods; 346 speed after Rex’s unique; and, ~380 speed after Shaak Ti’s leadership.If I verse a BB-8 with 240 speed (after mods) won’t its speed be less than my Rex after factoring in 5 other droids (5*0.08=0.40; 0.40*240=96; 240+96=336)?

Explanation: Every character needs to fill the turn meter bar which equals 1.000 speed. It's all about multipliers. A character with 1.000 speed would have a multiplier of 1 as 1.000 : 1.000 = 1. A character with 500 speed would have a multiplier of 2 as 1.000 : 500 = 2. This means the less the multiplier the faster the character and the faster the turn meter is full.Rex needs to get the full 1.000 to fill the bar which means 1:000 : 380 (his speed) = 2,62 (his multiplier). BB8 don't need to fill the 1.000 as his unique cuts of 40% which means he just need to fill 600. 600 : 240 = 2,5. So BB8 multiplier is less than Rex' which means he will have filled his turn meter bar faster.To see what speed your Rex needs just do the reverse mathe: To outspeed a 240 speed BB8 with a multiplier of 2,5 you need a better = lower one so imagine 2,49. 1.000 : 2,49 = 402 and that's the speed you need to be faster.

If my time on the internet has taught me anything it is that anything can be a verb.

Why does enemy BB-8 go before me?

327 speed with mods. With 12% from 501st Clones you are at 366.24, with Shaak Ti leadership you jump to 401.

BB8 gains 40% TM in a full droid line up, meaning that his 240 speed is 240/0.6 (60% TM to fill), resulting in 400.

Awesome. Thanks everyone for helping me understand the difference between both speed and turn meter.

And thank you for explaining the math. I believe I can get my Rex to 330 if I wanted to test it.

Thanks!

With 401 you get a multiplier of 2.493, which I suppose is rounded down, meaning that 401 should work fine. Other than that your math is on point.

Better save than sorry, i'm not taking chances in this game. Never trust CG.

That's not...that's not how you say that. "Versus" is a preposition, you can't just turn it into a verb.

BB8 is fast. BB8 with droids is fast with a head start

Correct. Never verb a noun.
