How do I get characters to go in the order I want?

[GameDoggo]

C1 has 533 Speed
C2 has 429
C3 494, but C2 still goes second. I want C3 to go 2nd.

I heard a rumor that it has to do with the order you add them to your party in the menu, but I haven't tested it.

lol, yep. It's just that easy, thanks.

Remove C2 and C3 from your party, and then add C3 back to your party first. This worked for me.

Also if you want them in an order, do not equip first strike

They should add something visual. There is no number or anything near the party member, I thought speed was the reason and was confused.

-->If you hit an enemy to start the encounter, the characters ALWAYS go in order of how you recruit them. Example: Remove everyone but character A. Now add C, then B.

Order is then A, C, B regardless of speed and/or gear. ( !! Order only applies for the first turn !! )

-->If you start an encounter normally, characters go in order by speed and/or gear that overwrites speed.


Tl;dr: If you want to have Maelle always going first, regardless of "surprising" the enemy or starting encounters normally, remove everyone from party except her-> Add them back and make sure she has the highest speed stat.
