Vader's "No Escape" ability does not count Vader as "ally"

What type of issue do you have? Gameplay
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Summarize your bug Vader's "No Escape" ability does not count Vader as an "ally", therefore Vader is missing out on an additional 16 speed.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? 1) Use a friendly and enemy squad composition so that the fastest enemy toon is slightly slower than Vader's "No Escape" benefit, if Vader's Empire/Sith tags were taken into account. 2) Notice that the other team goes first, which indicates Vader's Empire/Sith tag is not giving him speed. I've noticed this when running zzEP, Vader, zzThrawn, ShT, and zzTarkin against a JTR, R2, BB-8, GK, Thrawn. If Vader's tags had been accounted for, he would have been faster than all enemy, but instead their toons went first.

 Vader's "No Escape" ability does not count Vader as an "ally", therefore Vader is missing out on an additional 16 speed.  

This is inconsistent with other areas of the game, like Kylo Ren's "Lash Out" AOE, which also uses the term "ally" when talking about who is affected.  In Kylo Ren's case, he gains TM because of the "First Order allies" in the description, but in Vader's case, he does not gain speed based on the "Empire ally, Sith ally" description.  Therefore, I think Vader should be getting an additional 16 speed because of his presence in the squad.

  • Are you sure Vader is faster after adding 16 Speed? BB8 and R2 both gain additional 16% TM at the start of encounter and most likely will go faster than Vader even if Vader gets extra 16 Speed from himself. You should pick another enemy team to test against.

    You could very well be correct.  I totally forgot about BB-8's unique giving TM.  If BB-8 or R2 exposed on their first attack, then that might explain how JTR gained TM and attacked first even though she's slower.

    Thanks.  I'll have to do more testing.
