Raid Han AI

Is there a way of predicting who the AI will target with Raid Han's opening shot (highest health/prot etc) or is it totally random? Coming up against a few in arena now and it's probably just confirmation bias but he seems to go for my Vader most of the time.

    Do you work in an AI Development field though?


    I actually have written an AI library (as well as particle system, entity system, single-pass lighting render pipeline, and many others) for one of the most widely used java-based rendering engines. Its what i do for a living.

    Interesting? Sure. Useful? Impossible to know.
  • So far we've established that it is possible and (according to t0neg0d) even likely that the AI uses some kind of weighted system. However, we clearly don't have any proof of this and the devs (for obvious reasons) haven't laid out exactly how the AI works.

    @leef I'd just like to make clear that I haven't claimed the AI has an advantage, we're talking about something different here. I also never brought up the speed hypothesis, I was asking more generally if it's 'random' or not.

    possible? yes, likely? not really. The AI doesn't even use focus fire or targetting the lowest health+prot toon. So raid han having weighted odds for who he targets seems like stretch.
    Also, I know you didn't claim the AI has an advantage, nor did i imply you did. I was just using it as an example.
    I also didn't didn't imply YOU brought up the speed hypothesis, but others in this thread did.

    Not at all. The point of the post was more to say FOO does not have a greater weight to get stunned for a FO team as was suggested by some. At least not that I have noticed.

    Feeling particularly pedantic today, aren't we!
