Casting Behaviour

Casting AI behaviour is still being tested. Any information provided can help flesh out this section!
The Soulsoother AI has a global casting cooldown of around 6~ seconds, there seems to be some amount of cooldown for individual skill-lines, however.

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
Enhancing	Regen > Protect > Shell > Haste	Puppetmaster > Target's Target > Self > Party
Removal		Puppetmaster > Target's Target > Self > Party

• Default casting priority seems to be Healing > Enhancing > Enfeebling
  • It will only cast Regen on it's current target's target, after which it will cycle through Protect, Shell, Haste
• 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 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 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.
