Also as a nightsister fanatic, you want daka in third slot and zombie in second, the revives are not wasted on zombie, and some applies tennacity down on a basic (important for talzin's mass assist)

[@lenny7228]

In this case, the mass assist does have zombie apply tenacity down first.

[@BeauMonday]

This. Zombie 2nd for tenacity down, Daka 3rd for the reasons Calvin talked about

[@gocubs239]

Staying alive > ten down from one ability from one character. Also, her in the 2nd slot doesn't mean her ability goes before the others. It's animation speed and distance to target that matter in the coding for mass assists.

[@cartuner111]

​@@lenny7228pls stop spreading misinformation bruh

[@mattt2277]

Correct! Zombie resurrects the first person after it to die so put daka first so she gets the priority

[@jonnydixon2042]

Good insights here thanks for taking the time to make this vid.

You got it

[@rubberduckmafia4627]

One thing I’ve noticed is anytime BB8 is in a Rey squad, it will get VIP regardless of placement.

[@osirisianplays8089]

thank you for these explanations. these are huge information for me. so helpful for making more effective teams 🙂

Glad it was helpful!

Hahaha thanks for the shoutout Calvin! That gave me a good laugh 😂😂

[@CalvinAwesome]

You got it man!

[@NOOCH2GUD]

Calvin awesome as always! This is great stuff

[@CalvinAwesome]

Thank you good sir!

[@XCATX25]

I can tell you though, the placement order affects RNG, which helps if you're hitting your head against a mission in which "if just the guy attacked the other guy I would win". Something you probably have no memories of, since you're this strong in the game

[@CalvinAwesome]

"stop hitting Nihilus!"

[@marvel_dc_basedyt69420]

I was also thinking about Phoenix, Rex ahould go from 2 to 4th and Zeb 5th so Rex grants his 100% max health bonuses to everyone, then Zeb copies 40% of it and turns it into max protection for everyone. Rex going before Zeb will max out the amount of protection gained

[@CalvinAwesome]

Ooo we'd need to run those to see if that's how it works. A lot of the unique stat things happen independent of each other

[@CMC___]

I just did some testing in the GC, and whichever slot I placed them in, Zeb always recovered 2433 protection, or 4865 (double because he was debuffed). I couldn’t see any differences depending on where Rex/Zeb were placed

[@knavenformed9436]

Multipliers don't care about order. Elementary.

[@elizacevert4017]

[@CalvinAwesome]

You're very welcome!

[@andrew1257]

Great video! I didn't know about that geonosian misconception. And yeah, I always like my GAS team to be GAS, Rex 2nd (anakin's right hand man), Arc 3rd, Echo 4th (needs to be next to fives :D), Fives 5th (obviously). I just like it that way haha, but I did know about the old Fives bug so I guess keeping him in 5th is both a habit and a nice nod to his name.

[@CalvinAwesome]

Thank you sir!

[@davidforrester3147]

My understanding about having sunfac first is so he dispells things like tenacity up which then makes it easier to applie soldiers tenaciity down which makes poggles ability block far easier to hit.

[@CalvinAwesome]

Tenacity down can't be resisted though, and poggle will always hit last so it kind of washes out

[@davidforrester3147]

@@CalvinAwesome Hey with leia out Nooch had people bombarding him about placing drogan in the fifth spot whats the approiiate placement in a standar lineup and in the toxic lineup?

[@Kingsolo360]

I seen a video a long time ago from one of the oldest content creators that said the correct geos line up was brood Sun fac spy soldier and poggle its the line up I use and it works great

[@CalvinAwesome]

Yeah I remember that video. He made it right after CG confirmed it wasn't reliable. That variation of Geos works, but so does every other variation.

[@jamesthompson1414]

Just imagine how tanky ig11 wiuld be if you put bam(L) cat dash and kuil. Kuil gets an extra 70% then gives 40% to ig who also gets 70% boost then turns 40% of at total into prot. Bam lead then gives an extra 25% health and prot after that.

[@CalvinAwesome]

...it's a lot

[@AdventShot]

Your CLS lineup is good but most of the time if people are careful with what relics/mods they have on their CLS team it typically doesn't matter where you put 3PAC; it's much better to put Chewbacca in the 2nd slot because of his Tenacity Down on his basic which applied 1st on counterattacks and mass swarms resulting from C3PO's special ability, you'll be able to have other characters apply detrimental effects more consistently. Ideal lineup is CLS, Chewbacca, either 3PAC or C3PO in 3rd or 4th slot (and vice versa), and Han Solo in the 5th slot. C3PO's Confuse helps Han Solo from being yeeted from a counterattack as he will attack twice on his basic.

[@nancyturner217]

Meh....if a debuff gets resisted your whole team's fed turn meter so it's not a big deal

[@AdventShot]

CLS also shares turn meter with whole team when he inflicts debuffs, not to even mention he'll land more stuns.@@nancyturner217

[@Aqualightnin]

my guard always lands on c-3p0 regardless, hes like a 10th of the hp of cls despire being relic 3 vs g12 cls.

[@christhetanman2639]

Woah, mind blown. I use Nightsisters all the time and I had no clue.

[@CalvinAwesome]

That one in particular was very helpful for secrets and shadows. Stupid sideous

[@ryantighe3372]

Great vid! Question... Yoda not 5th discussion, you mentioned maybe put him 2nd. In an earlier JKR example you mentioned Jolee must be 2nd slot via 'savior' and reviving team. Can't put Yoda 2nd, if Jolee is there. Does that mean GMY in 4th slot?

[@CalvinAwesome]

4th would work great

[@fraid5508]

thx, I bookmarked this video!

[@CalvinAwesome]

Noice

[@SwornHeresy]

The reason for Sun Fac before Geo Soldier is that Sun Fac will dispel tenacity up buffs, making the tenacity down from Soldier more likely to stick.

[@CalvinAwesome]

As explained in the video, that happens regardless of placement. Also tenacity down is irresistible

[@cartuner111]

Thanks for sharing, especially the geos one. I hate those people saying "they assist in order" 🤬 And the sad thing is they still believe it 🤦🏽‍♂️ The revive thing on 2nd slot (Daka and Jolee) is true CLS is true (it also depends on relics/gear and mods) I had to put chewie in 2nd and chewpio in 3rd position to give CLS guard (datacron CAN screw this up but it shouldn't in most cases)

[@CalvinAwesome]

Yeah the geo thing was a very unfortunate piece of misinformation, it's still pretty pervasive

[@PrimeForce]

And on a Gar team make sure to put Gar in the lead slot!

[@rokarynmazel7353]

Unless/ until Cg fixes it , UFU Cal Kestis needs to be be before Ahsoka Fulcrum in TW for his omicron to turn fulcrums on. If she is first she sees Allies and turns her omi off.

Thanks, Calvin, was recently discussing this topic in “my” guild, Krayers Of The Lost Dragon. Shared the link and encouraged them to watch this.

Thank you sir!

[@michaelcalvert6323]

So how does this work when all abilities go off simultaneously before you even take a move?

[@CalvinAwesome]

That varies? Have to know the exact context

[@michaelcalvert6323]

@@CalvinAwesome so take Geo's for example. People say if you place then in a certain order then their abilities will go off one after another effectively making them better depending on placement. I don't understand it as all the abilities go off at same time so therefore it doesn't matter where you place them?

[@gocubs239]

Mass assists are a combination of animation speed AND distance to target. Sun Fac and Soldier have identical animation speed so their placement plus distance to target does matter. Here's a vid showcasing it using a galactic challenge. The deathmark one is great for testing things like this. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJmngmqnj8qdmtE

[@michaelcalvert6323]

@@gocubs239 just through my experience, tried and tested many times especially with Geos. Its never made a difference

No, certain things happen in a specific order due to coding

I’m really confused, for your Kuill and IG-11 example. The text doesn’t say they have to be next to each other it just says if he’s an ally. So that can just mean in the squad. So I think for some of these examples you’re showing. Explain how you’re supposed to know to put them next to each other. Don’t see the why in it.

Unfortunately the "why" falls in the coding and I have no idea why CG chose to do it that way. All I know is that my IG has better stats when I do this order
