Darth Vader and Speed with Emperor Palpatine in time
In ability "No Espape" of Darth Vader says:
"At the start of each encounter Darth Vader gains 8 Speed until the end of that encounter for each of the following: Empire ally, Sith ally, Jedi enemy, Rebel enemy. Darth Vader is immune to Turn Meter Reduction and recovers 5% Health when a Damage Over Time effect on an enemy expires."
Does that mean if Emperor Palpatine is in the team the Darth Vader will gain 16 speed, since Emperor Palpatine is Sith and Empire ally?

Same case with Palps lead. Vader gets it twice.
You'll notice high end empire teams with those two are super fast.
Hence why I only hit Palp led teams with Phoenix if I absolutely have to. Palp demolishes rebels if they can't kill him quickly.
Old Ben too.
No. That kind of ability doesn't stack that way. Wording and swgoh.gg mechanics show it as an "or," so they should only be getting it once if both. Vader's ability says "for each," and the mechanics show separate queries for each tag.
So while Kanan and Ezra and Old Ben with give Vader +16 speed, they still only lose 35% evasion for Palp lead.
Yes, the three Rebels each lose 35%, but not 70%.
Makes me glad I'm a new(ish) player. People have a good couple of years of data to share, so learning is easier.
