Update 3.10 Highlight

Update 3.10 Highlight

Hey, Raiders!


The Update Highlights this time will be short and sweet. 3.10 is a small release that focuses on Champion AI issues, but we felt it was important to give you a heads-up! Check out the list below to see what changes we have in store.

Champion AI

Zavia

Zavia will no longer use [Deadly Catalyst] against the Clan Boss in Auto Battle. Now you won’t need to worry about losing all your [Poison] debuffs too early.

Karam

For the same reasons, Karam will no longer use [Rot Away] against the Clan Boss in Auto Battle.

Elenaril

The same is true for Elenaril and her [Combust] skill.

Venus

Unlike the previous three, Venus had an issue of not using her [Burning Passion] skill when it was needed. As of Update 3.10, she will do so in Clan Boss Auto Battle unless the Clan Boss already has an active [HP Burn] debuff.

Rhazin Scarhide

Rhazin will no longer use [Bog Down] against the Clan Boss in Auto Battle.

Nethril

Nethril will no longer use [Ghastly Horrors] and [Bat Swarm] against the Clan Boss in Auto Battle. Instead, he will focus on racking up those [Poison] debuffs!

Foli

Foli will no longer use [Sealed Fate] against the Clan Boss in Auto Battle.

Aothar

Aothar will no longer use [Brand] against the Clan Boss in Auto Battle.

Drexthar Bloodtwin

Drexthar Bloodtwin will no longer use [Burning Lash] against the Clan Boss in Auto Battle. As the Clan Boss is immune to [Provoke] debuffs, players should be better off with Drexthar focusing on keeping the [HP Burn] up instead.

Elder Skarg

Elder Skarg will start using his [Hunt the Marked] skill against the Clan Boss in Auto Battle.

Fayne

Fayne will start using her [Flowing Style] skill against the Clan Boss in Auto Battle.

Robar

Robar will start using  his [Merciless Assault] skill in Auto Battle.

Crypt-King Graal

In Auto Battle, Crypt-King Graal will no longer use his [Elemental Unity] skill in on targets that are not under an [HP Burn] debuff.

Royal Huntsman

Royal Huntsman will start using his [Dead Aim] skill in Auto Battle correctly.

Trunda Giltmallet

Trunda will start using her [Cloak of Ages] skill in Auto Battle.

Spider

Spider will be more likely to use his [Glowing Mark] skill in Auto Battle whenever it’s not on cooldown.

Madame Serris

Madame Serris will be more likely to use her [Midnight Ritual] skill in Auto Battle whenever it’s not on cooldown.

Hakkorhn Smashlord

Hakkorhn Smashlord will use his [Blood Offering] skill in Auto Battle correctly.

Coldheart

Coldheart will no longer waste her [Heartseeker] skill on the Fire Knight if he has his shield up. Instead, she will rely on the [Flurry of Arrows] to help her team bring those stacks down fast!

Hi! 

I am here to answer some of the most relevant questions in this topic.

1 Will there be more fixes?

We are planning more AI improvements in the future. Thanks to your feedback and detailed descriptions, we see the changes that need to work on. I will forward all the suggested improvements in this thread to our development team. Some of them are already in work, and some will need a closer look. Stay tuned for more info.

2 Wait, where is the infinite daily login?

If everything goes as planned, there will be a couple of patches close to each other containing features that we previously discussed in our biweekly report. We will keep you posted if anything changes.

3 Questions remains how many bugs will you create and more importantly how long will it take to then revert it

This is definitely a concern. Any changes to AI will lead to new bugs or discrepancies. We tested current changes, so there should not be any major bugs, but if you find some, please report them to us. We will make sure to fix it as soon as possible.

Happy New Year!

All the AI changes seem super good. But additionally I want to mention a bug related to Crypt King Graal that I've reported several times in the past. Yet I haven't seen it addressed in any of the patches so far.

Graal's A3 is supposed to increase the present HP Burn duration to 3 turns; but if the CB has full 10 debuffs (including HP Burn), he won't increase the HP Burn count to 3. 

The reason behind this is that his skill doesn't work as intended. His A3 actually first tries to place a new HP Burn debuff for 3 turns & then replace the old HP Burn debuff with it. Since there are already 10 debuffs, the A3 is unable to place new 3 turn debuff & hence the increase never happens.

PS - This was observed & reported when I used to play with Graal. Now I've stopped using him since he's so bad.

It's a pity some champs are so poor & some are so overpowered (like Ma'Shalled. Way too OP. As if 2 turn TF with 2 turn CD was not enough, he is also provided with long heals, extreme damage and speed. I believe you guys do know we're forced to avoid him 98% of the time unless we face a badly built comp). I'm aware this ain't the thread for Champ Balance but just a suggestion for future champ balances in upcoming patch.

I will further look into it. 

Just as a point, this is an excellent description of the bug.

Happy New Year!

Hey Plarium,

Some great AI fixes. Running with the theme of mainly Clan Boss fixes.

Any chance you could sneak the Sir Nicholas fix in so he prioritises his A3 - unkillable when it's available and not his A2 - Shields, if they are available at the same time?

Thanks

Should be nice too, if heroes wont be waste their AOE attacks, when just one enemy left on campaign,dungeons,FW stage with low HP and killeable with a single A1 skill.

Like as Kael do at campaign second stages. He just wasting his Acid Rain on single enemy which has low HP instead of Dark Bolt.

Zavia also needs logic to not use [Deadly Catalyst] if no opponents have poison on them in Auto, all areas. Or at least to user her A2 if available first. 


"Zavia will no longer use [Deadly Catalyst] against the Clan Boss in Auto Battle. Now you won’t need to worry about losing all your [Poison] debuffs too early."
