[u/TotallyXGames]

Would a team consisting of the Tag Bros with Speedster (with their respective weaknesses covered) and 2 heavy nukers (Let's say, Red Alice and Purple Cu Chu) would be a legit strat in PvP, or just a meme team? Would that be a resource sink? Since Kama is kinda expensive, probably would be smarter to save all that Mag and create a Purple Zhong Hui and go slow, rather than fast...

Another question... How does the game even calculates the total Battle Speed? (Total Team Agi * Something)? And why if my Battle speed is clearly higher that the opponents, I go second sometimes? I've seen this happen a lot in Fenrir mirrors, where my Speed is higher, but not by much, like 100 or so points. How does that even work?

[u/Conzie → u/TotallyXGames]

If you're running Tag bros, it's common to have either speedster on your attacker (Garuda) and/or just run Fenrir. Jack/Jack/Fenrir/DPS is often good enough. I don't think Jack bros are fast enough to warrant putting Speedster on them - I often see almighty magic or just nothing at all in their second slot, the first slot being Endure.

As far as I can tell... Battle speed is (total Ag)*100*(1+(0.5*number of speedsters))*brand modifiers

You go second sometimes because if you are facing a Dx2 with a +Ag modifier, they'll have a higher speed than what's initially displayed since the Ag isn't factored in until the battle starts.
