So positioning of characters does matter apparently

Posts: 125 Tile Toppler
When i went into battle, i used my boosted lvl 374 spiderman and my boosted lvl 374 miles morales, since they're the same level, they share the same match damage as well, and since miles was in the middle of my team when i was selecting characters, (which also moves him to the front as soon as you start the battle), his icon took over red and silver tiles, BOTH TIMES that i played with him and spiderman (which i really wanted spiderman to do, since he creates web tiles everytime he matches). BUT come to find out if i put spiderman in the middle of the character selection, he TANKS red and silver tiles, since he was in the middle, instead of being left or right. Idk if its coincidence or not but tell me if that also the case for you guys.

That’s right. If characters are tied for match damage, the character in the centre position takes priority, then the left, then the right.3

Yeah, it's a lesson they need to teach people somehow.Once you know this, you'll arrange your team accordingly in future. Also worth noting that when you're defending in PvP, your team will show up in the order you fought in. So if there's someone you want them to target first from laziness, put them in front.Example 5* Thor. A lot of people won't bother changing targets when the match starts and will just chip away until they realise they forgot to pay attention to his health and now he's gathering AP with board shake every turn. I know I've done it a few times ¬¬Or if you're running Kitty and Grocket, it's worth putting Kitty near the back. she's probably going to tank what you need her to tank anyway and if Rocket dies, who cares. You only want him for the strike tiles anyway.3

And the same applies to the order powers fire in, which is important. See this old article:

This has been always like this. It is set up as follows.

This is also how passives/powers are triggered.5 -
Its common knowledge that you would NEVER know unless you read the forum posts and participated on the LINE rooms. Its been that way since the dawn of the game.
There are are definitely a few things that are "hidden under the hood" so to speak.
1. Who tanks what colors (during ties)
2. What defensive teams are visible to what level opponents.
3. How does the game determine my opponent que, and how do I refresh it or freeze it to the current state.
4. How does PVE point scoring working and how does refresh timing work?
5. How do the various token orders work.
6. how saving 1 token for all events tells you what chars will be essentials before the sneak peak thread.
the list goes on and on....

It also affects the order of start-of-turn passive abilities. For example, if you are playing Valkyrie along side someone who does damage at the start of turn (e.g. America Chavez), you might want to put Valkyrie first so she puts out her countdown before the damage occurs.

I line up the enemy specified on V’s CD on my previous turn. The AI has a turn then America fires and triggers V’s CD. V’s passive fires after America because she is further down the order so she creates a new CD on the same turn.
When that turn starts I then target whoever the new CD is pointing at, rinse and repeat. That seems a bit more predictable to me than hoping that Valkyrie’s CD is pointing to the front enemy before Chavez goes off.3 -

Not to hijack the thread but is this also why Thanos court death sometimes allows for cascades and other times activates immediately as soon as an opponent is downed???1

Edit, the above was also mentioned in @helix72 link above. In the article it mentions characters of different levels in regards to decimals, but I'm pretty sure I've encountered it in the past with same leveled characters.1 -

It's amazing how little nuggets like this keep nourishing somebody or other every time one of these threads gets going. That's why I always read through them and would never criticize someone for bringing up an "old subject" or whatever.1 -

The positioning also determines who tanks if you use a critical tile to make a double match (assuming the two matches are tanked by 2 different characters).1
