Sharpshot Head

Sharpshot Head

A head attachment for an Automaton.
Determines the AI of the Automaton.
Influences the Automaton's capacity, Skill levels, and spells.

Acquisition

• Puppetmaster: Upgrading Your Automaton.

Casting Behaviour

The Sharpshot AI has a global casting cooldown of around 10 seconds.

• While it's possible that it has individual cooldowns for each type like the mage heads, it's unlikely. Observed casting Cure back to back with an 8s~ cooldown with Damage Gauge active, and not being able to cast an enfeeble until another 10s had passed. .

Default Casting Behaviour

Magic Skill	Spell Prio	Target Prio
Enfeebling	Slow > Poison > Blind > Bio/Dia > Silence > Paralyze	N/A
Healing	N/A	Puppetmaster > Target's Target > Self > Party

• The Automaton's Spell Priority can be forced through Maneuvers, with each Element pushing it's appropriate spell to the front of it's priority.
  • An active Wind Maneuver will place Silence above the rest of it's Enfeebles.
    • An active Light and Wind Maneuver will in turn make it's priority Dia > Silence > and then default from Poison.
• For Bio/Dia, without Maneuver influence the Automaton will cast it's latest learned spell, essentially a priority list of Bio II > Dia II > Bio > Dia.

Deploy Behaviour

• Provides a bonus to the Automaton's Ranged Skill when equipped, even if the Frame doesn't have the capacity to use it.
• When deployed, most frames will be stationary within 15' of it's target, and only move to stay within 15'.
  • When using the Valoredge Body, the Automaton will ignore this and stick to melee range.
