Sent a sacrifice at Node 6, wedge ended with 100% turn meter. Figured "no problem, maybe han solo can stun him." Video: https://youtu.be/QepjFAKS4Zg

All I have to say is... I want my money back!

When 2 characters start with 100% TM in an encounter, it is RNG who goes first. Unfortunately for GW, if you keep retreating, the RNG seed will always remain the same and thus Raid Han will shoot after opposing Wedge.

I imagine if you switched up the squad though and replaced a toon or two that Han may eventually have shot first. Eventually you'll win that coin flip.

Unfortunately for GW, if you keep retreating, the RNG seed will always remain the same and thus Raid Han will shoot after opposing Wedge. I understand the mechanics about how this works, the random seed is why I was even able to capture this magic moment. However, Han's unique ability is called "Shoots First" and the description reads "Han takes a bonus turn at the start of each encounter. During this turn, he can only use his Basic ability, but it will Stun the target for 1 turn." - Han's counter is what stunned, and when I used Han's first bonus turn it did not stun, notice the lack of a "Resisted" on Biggs. I get what's going on behind the scenes here, Han's first basic shot gets a chance to stun, after that it's gone, however I think his unique ability is very misleading conceptually.

Hell, ever come across a droid team in GW? Stun Jawa Engineer. Round over.

Except when RN gesus decides someone else should go first. When they both have 100%tm

No. I use Darth Maul and Han Solo in my GW team. Maul finishes off characters at the end of one node, gains 100% TM, and then goes BEFORE Han Solo all the time. I dare say every time in this particular scenario, but I'm not 100% positive on that one. Bottom line is, if a character starts with 100% TM, they may go before STH. Remember, auto-taunters go before STH too... I wish, at the very least (most fair?) Han Solo's shoot first and an autotaunt could be an RNG battle

And again, I think this is a critical problem with the game design. Han Shoots First, it's pretty simple. Anywhere else throw the RNGing into play, but when it's between Han and any one else, Han should Shoot First.

Retconning doesn't change the facts Brohan. Han shot first.Regardless of Lucas' alternative facts later.

Have had this happen multiple times in multiple encounter PvE events. Sometimes my IG-88 will go first.

What I find funny is how people go crazy over the fact of who shot first. Realistically, Greedo Shot First in some version and Han shot first in another version. Denying it isn't helping a cause.
