Troll Dragons hate Roland?
Or 'silly' characters.adrich wrote:Some enemies seem to naturally target certain types of fighters. For example, in my experience, Nariquas (in the Flame Champion Hideaway) always seem to target female characters.
Once I had Augustine in my party and every girl was ignored in favour of him by the Nariqua.
On another note, I find it strange that Aila doesn't count as an 'archer' - either for William Tell or for airborne enemies.ender_maker wrote:It seems to me that enemies like to attack archers, whcih makes sense; archers can reach them no matter where they are and because of the distance factor, they will be harder to attack by any physical means. Smart AI, I tell ya

Actually, the Nariqua might've targeted Augustine because they thought he was a woman.

Nariquas target Nei over Chris or Ayame.
Just a random tidbit as I was doing some testing for other stuff today. Maybe we should start compiling a ranking of the Nariquas favorites? It doesn't seem to be based on stats, as Ayame had a lower Luck, Defense, MDEF, and HP than Nei, and they targetted Nei.

Eh, I just found something else. They don't strictly go for certain characters, distance apparently is a factor.
Because I later put Ayame in the first spot(where Nei was before), and Nei somewhere else, and they started going for Ayame. So apparently the first spot is the most heavily targetted one.

Re: Troll Dragons hate Roland?
archers and mages are typically known to have lower survivability, so perhaps the AI is setup to try to take out these weak characters.

She also doesn't get Sharpshoot. I don't think the game classifies her as an archer. Can she equip the Great Hawk Rune?Fugen wrote:On another note, I find it strange that Aila doesn't count as an 'archer' - either for William Tell or for airborne enemies.

of course she's an archer and she can equip the Great Hawk Rune. Sharpshoot is a skill that helps characterize an archer's specialty but it's not a mandatory skill.

Re: Troll Dragons hate Roland?
Wow, Piccolo today told me an interesting fortune that confirms that Luck does play a role in determining who gets attacked:
Now this may not apply to the "special AI" enemies like Troll Dragons and Nariqua, but it is possible that normal short-range enemies will choose their target based on the LUK values of the available targets....Piccolo wrote:Hmmm... Humans with bad luck are a magnet for attacks during battle."

Re: Troll Dragons hate Roland?
Refering to the other (locked) thread: Annoyance was my opinion, surely it wasn't just me that got annoyed with ONLY my archers getting attacked...?
The only thing Suikoden lacks...is dinosaurs.
