Why does enemy BB-8 go before me?

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)?

    1.000 = full turn meter
    Rex: 1.000 : 380 = 2,62
    BB8: 1.000 - 40% = 600
    600 : 240 = 2,5

    So BB8 only needs 2,5x his speed to get to full turn meter where Rex need 2,62 = BB8 is faster


    I’ll be completely honest, I don’t understand that math you just did - but I’m not very good at it clearly. I always assumed turn meter and speed were the same.

    So what speed would my Rex need to be in order to out-speed a BB-8 (with ~240 speed)?

    Cheers

    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!

    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.

    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.

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

    Correct. Never verb a noun.
