How does reinforcements work for fleet battles?

Xhowrude

I was always under the impression that your reinforcement order when you set a fleet on defense gets called in the same way that you set it. However, my executor that I have on defense called my reinforcements in backwards which called in my terrible 4th reinforcement instead of my boba 1st and ig 2nd. This resulted in my opponent getting 76 banners from fighting my 7 star executor and could have been the cause to lose my GAC match. Did something change??

I just want to know why this happened so I can make changes so this doesn't happen again and cost me my GAC.

What were your 3rd & 4th reinforcement?
(Saw your screenshot after, sorry)

They haven't been called in placed order for over five years.

The AI chooses what it thinks is the best reinforcement ability in a given situation.

I have not ever had this problem until today. Why call in the sith intercepter over calling in boba or IG? This is my first GAC with a 7 star executor so I threw trash as my 3rd and 4th reinforcement. Should I have not put any reinforcements outside of boba or ig down? What do any of you use for a 3rd or 4th? I boil it down to terrible AI in this game but that won't help me in the next battle so thats why I'm trying to figure it out.

Thanks for the screenshot wolf cast, I'm going to save this. 800 crystals down the drain because I wasn't aware this was a thing and the AI picked a relic 3 intercepter over my relic 8 slave 1 on a executor fleet.

This is good. I'll try and add a text version to the FAQ at some point.

I’m sure the vast majority of the playerbase who own Exec will set it with only 2 ships in reinforcements.

Not just Exec.

I always set Executor with only 3 reinforcements, boba, ig, and ebon hawk. i noticed the ai will always reinforce with the weakest ship possible so i just eliminated it.

I added tie bomber for fleet arena and same 3 reinforcements for GAC
