Marvel AI

Anyone ever wonder what the AI is actually programmed to do? Sometimes when i play against Daken i marvel as it appears the AI knows how to spreed out the attack tiles and lock the board up or in another instance it looks like they leave only one match for my weakest character and their powers ready to unleash on their turn. Other times they repeatedly match their own countdown tiles refuse to take the extra turn over a match 4 and blow their AP on the wrong attacks IMO. What your experience are they lucky or good lol?

The AI has no idea how to use GSBW's Deceptive Tactics ability. Twice this morning I've fought teams where this ability has fired it off and it didn't even result in one green match, let alone a critical tile or match 4.

Ha yes i have experienced that as well. Anyone have and good experiences using daredevil? The computer seem too adept at avoiding the traps it technically " can't see" although they could be actually be tracking tiles that were on the board when the traps were placed or moved and only matching new reds or blues that drop down from after a trap was created.

My favorite is when the ai uses tile generation abilities to make match 3s that destroy their own countdown tiles.

I'm nearly certain it uses targeted tile placement/conversion completely randomly. It doesn't appear to know what at least most skills are doing, at all. Recently confirmed it still uses Adamantium Slash before Feral Claws, too, which makes me cry.

One thing I would've sworn it was doing some matches since a few updates back is deliberate denial of colors it doesn't need but I do. Its matching choices can be so all over the place, though, it's really hard to be sure. One move I think it's done something really clever, the next it does something unutterably stupid and I change my mind.

I think it takes a lot of intelligence to put down Deceptive Tactics without matching any green.

In the first round of PvE, I was facing a Dr. Doom and he laid down his demons. In the SAME turn he matched a red where all three were (his) strike tiles. :headslap:

I think DD actually summoned his inner wyli e coyote there.

My bot has better AI than the game O.o

Here's a good one I ran into yesterday:

Dr. Doom -> Telepathetic Strike (converts all blue to black)
Magneto -> Magnetic Translocation (does damage by swapping blue with red per swap) for 0 damage.

I've noted quite a few times when the AI has the AP stored to unleash a power attack that will kill or cripple me and instead chooses to match tiles. It seems (?) that if the character you're targeting has an attack in a certain color, it won't use other characters' attacks in that color, but that's a complete guess, I haven't used any rigor to see if it's true

They save their AP if there's a more expensive attack of the same color, without regard to whether that attack is actually a better use of AP or not.
