So I just lost a battle in my TW and wasted my zFinn and 3PO... Something weird happened which I need an explanation for.

My Poe is 244 speed while his BB8 is 226 and his R2 is 218. The battle starts and BB8 goes before my Poe, then his R2 gives everyone stealth and then my Poe goes followed by his Rey.

So how does a 226 speed and a 218 speed character go before my 244 speed character and ruins my entire run? This is very frustrating.

    BB8's unique giving himself and R2 16% TM at the start of the battle.

    Effective starting speeds: BB8 269, R2 259.5

    Self-Preservation Protocol! 8% tm for every droid.

    Are you joking? BB8 has been out for ages and has always done that. I'm surprised his JTR didn't go before you due to her unique.

    What do you mean by that? The whole premise of this game is synergy between toons. Some toons give bonuses and add-ons to others of the same faction. Surely you’re aware of this?

    Dathcha’s Lead is good against droids. Maybe you should have used him?

    I’d recommend you not to fight ewoks then. They might do something similar 😜

    BB-8 isn't even the only one who starts with bonus TM. Maul and Bastila both give bonus TM to Sith and Jedi, respectively (unless fighting Revan). Are you gonna get mad if they go before you too?

    You were running zFinn and Threepio, and you’re claiming not to understand BB-8’s kit? I’m not buying it.
    I demand Grand Arena Elo ratings.

    More importantly, where can I find opponent’s that are as slow as yours. Most BB8s I see are in the 275-300 speed range.

    It pays to know the kits of your characters and your opponents in any given battle. Btw, I totally hate it when Thrawn "undermines" my characters by fracturing them, lol.

    As a rule of thumb expect BB8 to always go first and you'll never be dissapointed ;)
