Really 237 SP!!! That means auto play is really stupid.

Comment below for what you think the score should be, and also comment battles where you test the auto play, i want to hear more.

I dunno. Auto-play is not supposed to clear a level the best it can. If that was the case we could all stop playing PvE AND PvP :D
It’s OK for clearing SRC at decent strength, and it does OK when we battle it in the Arena.

[TheRedBird]

Auto play-does not heal birds when mid battle when hp is half full
does not do a power up first-example did not use battlecry before attacking
attacks the weakest enemy first

[Jim151]

Just discovered the worst auto play situation. While grinding for experience, mastery, and snouts, I decided to switch from SRC to DPC because the rewards wheel items are somewhat more useful. Well, in the second round, once Cactus Knight is the only enemy remaining, All my birds do is buff. All 3, every turn. I’m using Wizard, Witch, and Spies, because those are the three i want to mastery up first. The birds only attack once the cactus knight’s attacks fill up the rage chili. Then spies let loose. Takes forever to auto play.

[Alugia]

@jim151

It would me nice for you give a SP score, also, add 100 SP for only attacking on wave 2 with chili.

[Alugia]

I know, thata why the autoplay got 237 stupid points

[Jim151]

It would me nice for you give a SP score, also, add 100 SP for only attacking on wave 2 with chili.

I have no idea. You tell me. What would you award for 3 birds buffing 6 turns in a row, then use the rage chili, then buff 6 turns in a row, then use the rage chili?

[RedYoshi45]

@jim151
They keep buffing because an enemy with Ironclad is around (the cactus knight). As long as there are other enemies on the field they’ll attack those. Even though they COULD normally damage the cactus knight too, the game messes up and probably thinks it won’t do anything.
The same would happen on Wave 5 with Prince Porky’s Dodge.

About the Stupidness Points… that deserves 99999999999 SP. Especially since the latest update, even weak hits will hit. :D

[Jim151]

OK, but I am playing with Wizard, Witch, and Spies. All three damage more than the ironclad minimum.

[RedYoshi45]

@jim151
That’s what I said – they COULD normally damage him. But something makes them think they don’t.

[Alugia]

Also, tell me how many rounds it takes for you to fo it.

[Alugia]

Replay it, and write it down on paper, then transfer your data to here (you can abriveate in the paper, but not here) then i can give a score

[Jim151]

OK, as I’m not doing much but watching the Cubs game. I tweaked the team a bit. Samuri, Wizard, Spies with golden chili. Desert pig castle.

Round 1:

Red, Wizard, Spies all attack. They leave one enemy gravely wounded.

Red attacks again and kills him.

Round 2:

All three attack the minions, leaving cactus pig alive and barely wounded

All three buff

All three buff (note, chili still hasn’t been used)

All three buff

Red finally uses chili to kill cactus knight

Round 3:

all there attack

all three attack again, finishing off the enemy

Round 4:

Red and Chuck attack, Blues buff chuck, who is the most hurt, but he is the only one with a healing weapon

All three attack finishing off the enemy

Round 5:

Chili now filled, Red uses it on Prince Porky, inflicting way less damage than if he had attacked normally. Other 2 buff

Red attacks bombs, other 2 buff

All three buff

Red attacks bombs,other 2 buff

All three buff

Red attacks bombs,other 2 buff. Chili now refilled

All three buff

Red attacks bombs, chuck uses chili, blues buff

All three buff

Red and chuck attack bombs, blues buff

all three buff

red attacks bombs, chili now refilled, chuck uses chili to finally finish off PP.

[Dahnlor]

Thought I’d give this a run. Done on SRC, using 60/12 Wizard, Witch, and Spies. Also have the Golden Chili.

Wave 1:
Wizard attacks, Witch buffs self, Spies attack
Wizard and Mage attack to finish wave

Wave 2:
Spies buff selves, Wizard and Witch attack
Wizard is stunned by pigs’ attack, Witch and Spies attack to finish wave

Wave 3:
Wizard attacks, Witch buffs self, Spies attack
Wizard and Mage attack to finish wave

Wave 4:
Wizard uses chili*, wiping out wave in one attack

Wave 5 (boss):
All birds attack every round, except when Witch buffs self on 2nd round, until Wizpig attacks
Wizard uses chili, finishing off Wizpig

*I had paused auto attack at the end of the first 2 rounds but not the third. Appears that birds may attack out of their typical top-to-bottom order if paused and restarted, and will not use chili on the first round after activating auto attack.

These particular classes are more likely to transcend the Dumb AI. I was doing this earlier with Sea Dog and would often see it buff Witch after she had already attacked, then Witch buffs on the next turn, effectively wasting two potential Sea Dog attacks on consecutive turns.

@jim 151
Can you specifify who is attacked

@dahnlor
Same thing, can you specifify who is attacked

[Alugia]

@jim151

(Mispelled it, its for the post above ^^^^^^

[Jim151]

@jim 151
Can you specifify who is attacked

No. That’s way too tedious. Suffice it to say it takes the AI 18 rounds to finish off PP, when it can be done in 2, 1 with luck.
