When playing Icathian Rain, do you assign all damage targets before the opponent can respond, or can you assign 2 damage at a time?

Answer
Ruling: When Icathian Rain resolves, it creates six separate items on the chain, each dealing 2 damage. You must choose all targets at once when the spell resolves, before any of the damage triggers begin resolving.
Sequence:
- Cast Icathian Rain
- Opportunity for Reactions
- Rain resolves, creating six items on the chain, each requiring a target (all targets chosen at this point)
- Opportunity for Reactions before the damage triggers start resolving
- Each damage trigger resolves individually with priority windows for Reactions between each resolution
Nuances:
- Opponents can respond with Reactions (like Discipline) after all targets are chosen but before the damage resolves
- Players could respond to the triggers being placed on the chain, but all targets will already be chosen at that point
