The reinforcement order does not follow what @CG_CMandellorian said here: https://forums.galaxy-of-heroes.starwars.ea.com/discussion/170802/content-update-5-25-2018

While somewhat fuzzy, two things seem very clear: attackers are considered of least importance, and all ships within the same class are called from left to right. This is simply not what is happening. I have tested a few battles vs a friend, who runs the following fleet:

Tarkin (C)
Starters: Biggs, Bistan and Imperial Tie Fighter
Reinforcements, from left to right: Vader, Wedge, Poe, FOTF

The very clear intention here is to call Vader first, get the massive damage increase from the debuffs, and blow everything up. Now, regardless of how Vader and his TL/dispell can be classified, there can be no doubt that Wedge, Poe and FOTF are 100% pure attackers. If Vader is an attacker, he should be called first because he is in the left-most slot. If Vader is not an attacker, he should be called before attackers, and thus should still be called first.

My fleet:
Thrawn (C)
Starters: Biggs, ITF, Vader
Reinforcements: Scimi, Reaper, FOTF, Boba

All three fights I played were very similar:
I killed his Biggs before the first reinforcement all 3 times. Varying amounts of damage to Bistan, but never more than a tickle (a single ITF shot), and his ITF untouched. Usually with foresight up. My own Biggs was still alive (but hurt) all three battles by the time he called reinforcements. Always taunting. Target locked only once.

First time: FOTF was called as a reinforcement (not even Poe or Wedge, but the ship in the rightmost slot! I won easily)
Second time: Vader was called as a reinforcement (as he should be. I lost)
Third time: Wedge was called as a reinforcement (huh? Anyway. Won easily)

This is in direct contradiction to how @CG_CMandellorian said reinforcements work.

    The defensive fleet mentioned by @Acrofales is mine.

    I have tried this with extra fights on auto with similar effects. Though Vader is always in my left most slot, all my attackers seem to have an equal chance of being called.

    Please notice I've gone to extremes not to have any ships that provide healing, cleansing, dispelling, tanks, or supports in hopes of everyone falling into the last category.

    Perhaps we could get clarification on how these decisions work?

    Or better yet, is there any possibility you make it to where we define our first reinforcement?

    Any help will be appreciated, I really do not want to have to be reduced to 1 reinforcement to get desired behavior.

    I confirm i have this issue too. To evade your strange system of reinforcement call order /according to your anouncement how does it work/ i removed all tanks from my reinforcements and did put there only support ships in this order : Cassian, Scimitar  and Reaper, trying to somehow get Cassian be called as first reinforcement. Sadly in 2 autocombat battles he was called as last reinforcement after Scimitar and Reaper ....
