Noting about TM

The only way to take a turn is to have 100% TM. That is why to get his "bonus turn", he starts with 100% TM.

You’re wrong in saying this, otherwise certain events that force the opposing team to get two FULL rounds of turns right off the bat would still be subject to this RNG roll and they’re not.

They actually are. they event is programmed to lock the player behind, but in those events the TM loaded opponents are following the RNG roll just like always. this is specific to event opponents and has nothing to do with hans unique. but just like always he is given his bonus turn because he is sitting there with 100% TM.

We’re all aware of what the description says. Beating it into our heads isn’t going to change the INTENT of “shoots first.”

Also, “bonus turn at the start” implies he goes first no matter what, much like Thrawn’s swap and GMY’s bonus turn makes the toon take an immediate turn. Specifically how they switched Thrawn’a swap to do this, it proves that 100% turn meter is not the only way to take a turn, as you say.

You can quote description all day, but it doesn’t change the fact Shoots First should shoot first, and you know it. Your “lord of hunger” comparison is moot, as Lord of Hunger is a metaphorical title for a Sith Lord, not a direct ability. He’s not called Han “Shoots First” Solo.

The intent is in the description is says bonus turn. not the first turn, not an immediate turn. the thrawn and GMY abilities specifically state the way they wanted them to work and those and Hans uniques all operate as they are described. the point about the title vs description is that the title is not the description.

Correct he doesnt shoot first, but he does get his bonus turn, as described by his ability.

The ability name says “Shoots first” and it says “...bonus turn at the start...”. The name and the “at the start” implies he’s first. In this case he doesn’t shoot first nor when he goes is it “at the start”. One can argue against WAI quite easily in this case.

But arguing about the intent of Hans zeta imo is bad form to suggest it's simply just 100% tm because it isn't.

it is, in both description and action. if they wanted him to shoot first, why not change the description like they did for yoda?......maybe they will but until then it is functioning as described using the in game mechanics we see all the time.
