> ## Issue:

In **Daily Celestial Challenge** and **Arena of the Gods** , when selecting multiple **Legends** together with their **bodyguard units** (e.g., Berserk for King Folstag) and other normal units, the game shows **inconsistent selection priority** :

- When selecting **three Legends** (Chiyou, King Folstag, Theris) together with their bodyguards, the **focused unit becomes Berserk** , even though Berserk is a **normal unit** , not a heroic one.

- Despite Berserk being focused, the **voice lines played belong to Theris** , not the focused unit.

- When forming a **control group** , the **portrait shown is Theris** , even though Berserk is still the focused unit.

- When recalling the control group, the UI continues to show **Berserk as the selected unit** , not the Legend whose portrait appears.

This results in a mismatch between:

- the **unit actually selected** ,

- the **unit portrait shown** ,

- and the **voice lines played**.

This makes it difficult to reliably control Legends and access their abilities.

> ### Trigger Event:

- Selecting multiple Legends (Chiyou, King Folstag, Theris) together with their bodyguards and other units.
- The UI focuses on Berserk instead of any Legend.
- Voice lines triggered belong to Theris.
- Creating a control group shows Theris’ portrait.
- Recalling the control group still selects Berserk.

> ### Repro Steps:

1. Enter **Daily Celestial Challenge** or **Arena of the Gods**.
2. Start with **three Legends** : Chiyou, King Folstag, Theris.
3. Have their **bodyguards** and other normal units nearby.
4. Select all Legends + Berserk + other units together.
5. Observe that **Berserk becomes the focused unit** , despite being a normal unit.
6. Trigger any movement or action — **Theris’ voice lines** play instead of Berserk’s.
7. Create a control group (Ctrl + 1).
8. The control group portrait shows **Theris**.
9. Recall the control group (press 1).
10. The UI still selects **Berserk** , not Theris or any Legend.
