I'm going to be testing these things out myself in GW (tomorrow, sadly, because I finished GW this morning), but in case someone knows, I have a couple of questions about first moves for characters on defense. Obviously this is assuming they aren't ability blocked.
1) Jyn - Does she use Rebel Counterattack first? If so, what's the criteria for who gets the 100% TM? Person with the least current TM or totally random?
2) Old Ben - Does he use Taunt right off or Mind Tricks?
3) R2 - First ability used? And who does he choose for Smoke Screen? I'm thinking it's anybody taunting, but what if there isn't a current taunter?
4) Kanan - First move? And will he taunt (Intervene) if nobody currently has a debuff on them?
5) SRP - Basic or taunt?
6) STH - Taunt first or nah?
Finally ...
7) Raid Han - who does he choose for his stun? Totally random or is there some algorithm at play, such as 'always target characters x, y, or z if they are present, otherwise just roll the dice', or is it always just totally random?

Basically I'm trying to theorycraft a good opening that doesn't rely on Baze to be pre-taunting. My sincere hope is that Jyn leads with RC and gives it to the slowest person on the team, who would be the tank. The tank then immediately taunts, simulating a Baze (as long as Jyn can be made the fastest person on the team, obviously).
Of course, that might be an all around bad idea, because against a Rex team she'd be feeding them a bunch of TM at the start with at least a few crits from that aoe. And then it becomes a crapshoot about who goes first - your tank with the 100% or the other team who probably have all 5 characters at 100%. Hmmmmmmm, probably not a good idea.
*sigh*
Still, the questions stand. I'm going to try this out tomorrow (oh what I wouldn't give for a sandbox mode!).
