When a unit attacks, is its target chosen before On Attack abilities resolve?
The rulebook declares the attack and its defender first, then resolves On Attack abilities.

Yes. The defender is chosen when the attack is declared, and On Attack abilities resolve after that. An On Attack effect can damage the chosen target, such as a Sentinel, but cannot redirect the attack to another unit.
