Who shot first? - Question about speed against Rex L

Tiggus

I was a bit surprised at how the turn order happened for the first turn in most of my Arena battles (vs. triple cleanse teams infecting my shard).

On my side: VaderZ lead, Boba and Tie Pilot both at speed 250
On the other side: Rex Lead (204), Chirrut (217), GK (194). All of them not enough to reach 250 even with Rex's 15%/7.5% TM bonus.

Take a second to think of how you'd think this unfolds, then read below and see if that matches:

1. Boba goes with AoE, ability blocks some of them
2. All 3 (I think - more than 1 for sure) of their cleansers go in some random order
3. Tie Pilot goes

I haven't seen if Boba scored some crits (I guess he did), but even if he did, how come GK at 194 + 7.5% TM (or even Chirrut at 217 + 7.5 TM) went before Tie Pilot who was sitting at 250, tied for first turn?

It's tm gain per crit not just per attack.

Boom! Rex lead is giving them an immediate +30% TM gain when he Disciplines, plus another 5% for each effect dispelled, and 7.5% on those that Boba critted on (why does that not sound right to say? LOL!). WAI.

Wow, that means up to 75% TM gain, that's quite an ability! It makes me almost want Shoretrooper to give the crit immunity to the opposite team, not mine

Or this is what Nihilus's lead is about?...

Nihlihus bypasses Rex lead. But Rex is still viable on a counter squad. His big hit deals so much damage against a DN lead. When he dispels he gains a lot TM for his team and puts tenacity up for 3 turns. I often play Rex against DN lead and don't even bother switching him out of lead unless I feel like it. Plus some DN teams are hybrid teams and his lead is still relevant then.

Rex is even a better leader than some others on rebel teams, not even being a rebel. I've seen him used on a sith and empire teams! He doesn't seem like much but he's awesome. You need a good taunter to play Rex though.
