I know you can position each troop at a specific spot in your army line-up, but does anyone know if it matters how your individual units are placed within their respective troops? I've noticed that each patapon has its own set of stats (in addition to the troop stats) like speed, critical hit, etc. Is there a way to place the more experience/better equipped troop members in the front of their group, or does it even matter? Do troop members with higher speed stats attack more often than other members of their troop?

Yeh higher speed means they move faster and attack more frequently . u can change where a member is by choosing it by pressing triangle then pressing square to select them and then
press X to where you'd like them to be moved...Positioning doesnt matter much if you ask me . I tried equipping faster guys with better shields but they also run away further on retreat command and bring the slower guys to the front...

Cool, thanks! I'll give it a shot!

I might try this. Anything to give me a bit of an edge. Put the guys with more health at the front, then your lower-health guys survive longer and can keep attacking.

I just press triangle to "Optimize"
