Spell-Casting Delay

---

Each category of magic has a separate recast timer, while the automaton also has a universal recast timer which determines the minimum time between any two spells being cast.

• ~10 second universal delay.
• ~12 second Enfeebling delay.
• ~?? second Healing delay.
• ~?? second Enhancing delay.

Behaviour

Deployment

• Remains stationary when deployed within ~15 yalms of the target, if deployed outside this range the automaton will close to melee distance.
• Will only move if the enemy is out of casting range or when it is out of MP.
• Magic is only used when attached to the Stormwaker or Harlequin Frame.

Magic

Spells and Enemy HP% The casting AI changes based on the current targets health. Casting AI has been changed dramatically since the December 2011 update, this table may no longer be accurate. Enemy HP% Default Casting Priority 100% - 75% Silence → Slow → Blind → Paralyze → Bio II → Poison II → Elemental Magic 75% - 50% Elemental Magic by default. Enfeebling Magic may require two maneuvers to be prioritized. 50% - Low HP Elemental Magic by default. Enfeebling Magic may require two maneuvers to be prioritized. DoT spells can no longer be cast. Low HP The automaton will ignore all maneuvers and attempt to finish the enemy off. It will use the weakest nuke that will kill the enemy if unresisted. If bio II is not available, the automaton will cast the highest DoT available: dia < bio < dia II < bio II

Spells and Maneuvers Maneuvers increase the priority of spells of their respective element. Maneuver Spells Fire Addle Ice Elemental Magic -> Paralyze Wind Silence Earth Slow Water Poison II Light Cure IV → Dia II Dark Blind → Bio II

Curing Priority

---

Will only cure the master and puppet, prioritizing whoever has more hate. Cures only occur when below a certain percentage of health. See the damage gauge article for more info.
