I have an ISS list I am constantly tweaking trying to get it just where I want is and its on its 4th iteration now and I think I'm too close so would love you guys to give me some feed back and tell me which list speaks to you the most. I've played one game with the second list and it went pretty well, The Sophotect didnt do anything because I don't tend to do much healing although its a huge force multiplier with the Deva being NWI and Dakinis having 2 Unconscious states. I really wanted an EVO also that game but the Dakinis did do work without anyway. lists to follow:

My own rule of thumb is to put anything fast, forward deployed in some way, very efficient, or anything that doesn't move much, in a smaller group of 5-6. The big workers in the group with the most orders. So Kanren (FD), Dakini (Fast), Sophie (Fast) in small group. Hsien, CG, CSU, in the larger group. CG and Kuang Shi should be in the group that provides orders to those that are killers/specialists that need to get to the targets. I also think of what role is meant o be done by something. Like the EVO only needs one order to do something like Marksmanship or Fairy Dust.
Yeah I usually run a 10-5 split but because ISS has 2 haris so this list has 3 link teams I was worried that they might be fighting each for orders. I've put an aggressive link in each group so the Hsien link and the Deva link can both spend lots of orders instead of sharing the same pool.
I don't think they would fight for orders. In fact, the opposite. Normally you would have three that need to use orders alone. Now you have them efficiency use one. And just because they are in a link doesn't mean you must use them. It's nice but not mandatory. Also by putting aggressive links in each group, you are committed to that group. There might be times one harris needs 8 orders and the other only needs 2. For example, a Ks core of 2-4 that only sit back and guard and the celestial lobs a couple smoke grenades using 1-2 orders and nothing else.
