Casting Behaviour
The Stormwaker AI has a global casting cooldown of around 12 seconds.
| Magic Skill | Spell Prio | Target Prio |
|---|---|---|
| Enfeebling | Slow > Poison > Blind > Bio/Dia > Silence > Paralyze | N/A |
| Enhancing | Puppetmaster > Self |
- The Stormwaker runs on a baseline priority pattern of Enfeebling > Elemental > Healing > Enhancing.
- With no outside influence, this means the Stormwaker will cycle through all of it's enfeebling spells until they all stick before casting it's strongest Elemental Magic spell.
- Without maneuver influence, the latest Elemental spell it knows seems to be the only one it will choose to cast. Once it has cast that spell and put it on cooldown, it will then be able to cast either Healing or Enhancement spells, depending on the situation.

- Automaton Spell Priority can be manipulated through Maneuvers, with each Element pushing it's appropriate spell to the front of it's priority list.
- 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.
- An active Wind Maneuver will place Silence above the rest of it's Enfeebles.
- 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.
- An Ice Maneuver pushes Elemental Magic and Paralyze to the top of the priority list in that order. The Automaton will use it's highest level Elemental Magic spell, followed by Paralyze on it's next cast.
Deploy Behaviour
- Provides a bonus to the Automaton's Magic Skill when equipped, even if the Frame doesn't naturally have MP to cast.
- This does not allow non-magic frames to cast spells, as they still have 0 MP.
- When equipped with Harlequin Frame, Stormwaker Frame or Sharpshot Frame, it will remain stationary within 15' of it's target, only moving to stay within 15'.
- When equipped with Valoredge Frame, the automaton will stay in Melee range.
