OK, so I am a little late to the EP party. I have been happily using a MT lead team or Rex if I face an EP lead. Problem is both fall like rocks on defense (yes I know nothing holds on defense, but still). With Rex I can drop 80 spots! I am normally around 30-15 at payout on an old shard.
My question - I finally setup my EP team - EP, DV, DN, Thrawn, GK. Normal, right? Zetas are placed where needed (EP lead, DN, etc). I also have good mods on them, mainly speed on the 4 and health/prot on GK.
All 4 of my speed guys have more speed vs. the mirror team. Their DV goes first. Always (at least so far). I tried 5 matches tonight for fun. Every time - they went first. I also went up against a SiT instead of GK but same thing happened - their DV went first. Force Crush, culling, TM up, etc... I am down from the start. I actually won 3 of those still but two I was beat to a pulp.
What gives? I checked every one of their squad and I was faster on every single toon.
When I check squads it is always Thrawn fastest, then EP/DN and then DV is around the low 200's. I have my squad set the same. Am I doing something wrong?
If it is a coin flip then I am getting bad RNG over and over but it doesnt make sense if I am faster from the start. If it sticks to being a coin flip I'll stay with Rex, I win 95% of those matches against EP and swap out to my EP to blend in for the final match. I find that holds better on defense if I become white noise on the shard vs. sticking out! There are several Rex up top but they all swap payouts and are beaten back quickly.

Your gk will give opponent DV more speed and give your none.
I'm using GK because he is GK... he's always been the standout tank! He also has really high HP/Prot with mods.
I am all G12. I have a G11 SiT or Shore that have about half the HP/Prot that GK has. Should I swap to them?
If I do I should go first 100% vs. the more common GK teams I see, right? Still doesnt explain why GK vs. GK they go first if I am faster base. I was 15 points higher DV vs DV in one match.
My Sion is only 3* and is staying there until I can farm him after the whole raid mess and "fix"... Wont be adding him anytime soon!
GK has always been The super tank to have on any team. Am I better off going with Shore or Sith? I honestly see way more GK vs. those two (or Sion).
Your opponent’s DV has an extra 8 speed when using Sith/Empire tank.
That’s a total difference of 16 speed, that’s why you go second even vs a Vader who is 15 speed slower...
Best part of Vader for me is being able to use better speed mods on other chars, but with enough of them that advantage is moot
Trying to decide who I really want to run with EP/DV. I am thinking of adding in DK and DT along with another. Anyone try them under EP lead?
