Shadow of the Road Initiative: why the turn order changes
Quick answer
Attacks can change turn order. Read the Timeline after acting; the rules below are the developer’s July 2025 description, still not yet tested in the current demo or release.
The UI separates Current Round and Next Round. Asuke’s published role includes moving allies and enemies along this order. A turn-control action therefore needs a timing check as well as a damage comparison.

The 2025 tooltip uses “Turn Interval”; its relationship to the written Initiative rules needs current-build verification. Use the written checks in this section.

Some passives resist Initiative loss. Check the resulting value and active effects against the table’s cancellation condition; avoid a strategy that requires an unconfirmed fixed reduction.
