Why is ERG going before my GS, daka and phasma?

Nebulous

I tried this three times in arena.

My opponent: lumi (L), qgj, GS, yoda erg

Me: qgj (L), GS, daka, dooku, phasma.

My dooku starts off first by stunning yoda. Then my qgj takes a cheap shot at the opposing qgj so my GS can finish him off before erg taunt can take effect.

Except, all three times, erg got a boost to his speed and stepped ahead of the rest of my team. He uses his defense up and yoda even awakes from taunt. Then my GS gets to act.

What am I missing?

RG? If he or she but I believe by cannon is he, though by legend I like to think she proc's taunt, she is the only toon that I know that can "move" outside of her turn.
Her taunt proc's by environmental variable, not her turn

Royal guard's taunt automatically occurs outside of his turn sequence when an ally drops below a certain health percentage as long as his health percentage is above a certain amout (depending on ability levels).

Not looking at the ability text and I do not have it memorized, but I think that's right.

Royal Guard gains turn meter whenever an ally takes damage. Could be the explanation.

It's not the taunt.

It could be this. I was thinking end of turn as a different thing. But yes. Most likely this.

Correction. According to swgoh cantina, he automatically taunts outside of his turn whenever an ally falls below 50% health regardless of his health level at max ability level.

Oh...saw something about taunt and missed the point. Sorry. Trying to do this and arena at prize payout at the same time.

It's not working!

This was my first time not taking out the the first target-pot shot then GS assist. I never realized that additional hit from stunning yoda allowed rg to leap frog. Thank you.

I appreciate your help anyway. Thank you.

Oh yeah, I have someone (that I compete for top 4) with maxed RG, Yoda and QGJ lead. Tough as nails. Do too much damage (before a GS assist kill, or dodge) to Yoda and you loose.

Ya i battle for top 3 too. Usually I see rg with Rey and I start off by hitting Rey with a basic and qgj assist attack to end her. I never did 2 attacks before going for the kill. Was just confusing me.

Nebulous

Everyone here is awesome. Thanks for helping me get better.

Progress, not perfection. That is my motto.

Doga

If I was a whale I'd have a maxed RG! Best defense in the game.

RG can be insanely fast if your toons take a lot of hits. His effective speed varies with the flow of battle, so his speed stat really isn't that interesting in and by itself.

Nebulous

He is easy to play around. Especially Rey. Her hp is so low that any poke and followed by assist attacks will take her down before rg can officially gain control.

I never paid attention to that speed gain skill. He is bonkers. Mine is at 4*. So far to go.
