Dark Fae gone haywire?

Can anyone explain this scenario?

My Deacon Armstrong goes first then the entire opposition goes and the rest of my team never gets a turn.  This is a new result in the past two days as prior Dark Fae battles had my team going first with the opposition never getting a turn. I don't get what's changed. Thanks.

Have you increased his speed with gear or gotten faction guardians? Or gotten an awakening? Or changed out any of the rest of your team?

It just sounds like he's no longer speed tuned to the rest of your team and he's getting cut.

Actually, I'm getting similar.

When I face the dark fae boss and my mirror copies, if I use a speed boost first the opponent will then also speed boost, as expected - but then they get the next turn, not me.

So it goes like this:

- I take first turn

- dark fae takes next turn

- dark fae takes another turn

I had to stop using Arbiter and any speed booster, and that's solved it for me. Yes, I have all skills ready, but this is about how the game decides who takes a turn when speeds are equal. Normally I would have expected it to be in my favour, and it is for the first turn, but after then the game decides that dark fae has priority.

I haven't played dark fae enough to know if this is a normal mechanic or if it's a bug.

That's not how the turns are calculated. With no other factors at play, your Arbiter will start, theirs will go next, then your next fastest person will go. It's pretty easy to see that because you will literally never *not* go first.

I use kimi and deacon in my team, but i had to tune the gear in a way that the nukers wouldnt be so much slower or have more res  or acc than the speed tuners. Kimi has a skill that boost tm and lower enemy's tm. I set mine to boost my tm instead of lowering the enemy's tm cuz sometimes resistance was affecting results.

LOL.  Kram understands the mechanics of the game 10x better (if not 100x) than I.  So if something did change he would be one I expect to catch it.  But its still 99% likely to be PEBCAK :)

And as I mentioned, this is not what I see happening: 

My arbiter goes first.

Then dark fae goes second and third - *if* I use the TM booster skill in my first turn.

See my message above - that may be how the mechanics are supposed to work, but that's not what I see happening. Why not try this for yourself? Just put a TM booster as your fastest character against the dark fae boss on any level, and see what happens.

I figured it out, at least for me. It was turn meter passive skills coming back to bite me. Thanks everyone!

Check out your speed tuning with a speed tuning calculator.

I always run with a TM booster and speed aura lead as my fastest character against Fae. Have since her first rotation. So this is a test I've run hundreds and hundreds of times cause of farming lethal. :D

Hm, weird, I wonder what causes my issue with Arbiter? Either way, not a big issue, I just thought there might actually be a bug,
