Major AI bugs
The AI bot has SO SO SO SO many AI flows that it really pissed me off big time from time to time. I will list a few here and I am sure a lot of other players probably can add with more.
Meniss issues -
1. AI don't know how to use Dream Thief correctly -
From time to time, Meniss would cast dream thief on opponent who is not hypnotised and totally wasted his round.
2. Again Dream Thief issue - When enemy is hypnotised and my Meniss is badly hurt, AI will still cast Shadow Swipe instead of Dream Thief
3. Out of Shadow Swipe and then AI becomes a dumbass and don't know what to do issue -
My Meniss has POD, Shadow Swipe, Dream Thief, and Hypnotism. When my shadow swipe is out of charge due to encounter "mummy" talent or used up after killing 3 opponents, then it will switch out instead of using Dream Thief/Hypnotism combo.
To make it really really dumb, when my 2nd guy died (because of wasting one round switching), the AI would take Meniss in first, then switch out to 3rd guy and letting my opponent land a free attack on my 3rd guy. If my 3rd guy died, then samething, Meniss would come in first and immediately switch out to 4th guy and then wasted another round. Then if my 4th guy died, Meniss would come back and cast dream thief without hypnotise opponent first.
That totally pissed me off big time. Making an easy win to become a lose fight. This stupid switching bug MUST BE FIXED please.
Prayer Issues
AI is pretty awful in casting prayer spells.
1. Celestial prayer and Rain prayer - When my Lambush encountered Blaze, watching him casting Celestial Prayer really AMAZED me (try to be nice using my words already). So is my Cyguess casting rain prayer when encounter Neon or Rhor. I don't think I need to explain further here.
In fact, even when Blaze vs Blaze, AI should not cast either because it wasted one round from your side and that could cost you a fight.
2. Blizzard and Sandstorm - When Blaze encounter an ice monster with blizzard, he would attack the other without cast a prayer to over-write blizzard first. With Blizzard and sandstorm on battle field, blaze would keep miss his attack and then getting hurt from blizzard and lose or getting hurt from a should be super easy win battle.
Water Sprout -
There is something wrong with this spell. It doesn't do damage when cast first, or when opponent cast non-damage spell. It doesn't do any damage most of the time and AI would cast it anyway. Most of good players probably over-write with water bomb, else AI would keep casting it. Please check into this spell and either fix it or don't let AI cast it. Thanks
