BATTLECON: DEVASTATION OF INDINES Guide to duels against AI opponents

Before the fight, put the numbered Style and Base cards from the AI fighter's hand into the discard
piles.
"Ante Finishers" -variant may be used. If used, first choose your own finisher, then randomly
decide which Finisher will be readied for the AI fighter.

1) Select attack pairs

Select your own attack pair normally and place it face up on the table. The opponent will not select
their attack pair here it will be done after the Ante-phase.

2) Ante
Anteing is done normally. Follow the instructions in the enemy fighter's AI instructions to ante for
them. With some fighters, it is necessary to first determine their attack pair, and this will happen
after the Ante-phase.

If the Ante Finishers -variant is used, remember that no more antes may be placed after anteing a
Finisher. Try to take this into account when determining who gets to ante and how many times. If
multiple ante possibilities are open for the opponent, they always ante the Finisher last.
The usage of the opponents Finisher is not determined until the next phase, so if the Finisher is
used, you might have anted more than what was possible to ante. In this case, reclaim any antes that
were not possible.

3) Reveal attack pairs

First, determine the distance from you to the opponent this is referred to as the Range. Then,
roll a d20 and consult the chart corresponding to the range in the enemy fighter's AI to see which
Base they will use. If the rolled Base is currently in discard (and the Finisher can't activate), roll
again until an available Base is selected. Burst-base cannot be selected if the AI fighter is adjacent
to the edge of the arena and your fighter (cornered).
Sometimes the AI instructions refer to a *special chart*. This means that you should use the
fighter's special chart (**) instead of a basic chart, as long as the range is correct.

Finally, randomly draw a Style for the AI fighter and put their attack pair face up on the table.
Then continue this step normally.

In case of a Clash, first choose a new Base for yourself, then roll again to come up with another
Base card for the AI fighter.

4) Execute attacks
Execute attacks normally.
Often the AI fighter has a choice related to their movement. For these situations, check the AI
fighter's positioning-rules, as well as their card-related instructions. However, the following
priorities always take precedence over any other instructions:
1st PRIORITY: If the AI has not yet attacked this beat, they try to hit you.
2nd PRIORITY: The AI tries to avoid your attack if you haven't attacked yet.

Use these two rules (sometimes both can be achieved), combined with the fighter-specific
instructions to find the exact way the AI fighter will behave. If multiple choices still remain, use the
die to decide randomly.

5) Recycle
Recycling is done as per normal rules.
BATTLECON: DEVASTATION OF INDINES AI duels; exceptions and notes
FOR A SLIGHTLY SIMPLER VARIANT, DISREGARD THIS PAGE!

DASHING: When Dash is used, style is not necessarily chosen randomly instead, many fighters
have a prioritized list of styles mentioned in their positioning rules that they will use when dashing.

AI fighters always try to change sides when dashing.

If this is possible, they follow their positioning rules on the other side of the opponent.
If not possible, they follow their positioning rules on the current side of the opponent.

FINISHER: When AI fighter's life is at 7 or below, they may decide to use their Finisher instead of
choosing their attack pair normally (if Finisher-variant is in use).
Finisher is chosen if the row in the appropriate range chart is colored:
____ for finisher ____ for finisher

The Finisher is activated even if a *special chart* would otherwise be used for a roll.
(Special charts don't have colored rows)

MULTIPLE EFFECTS WITH THE SAME TRIGGER: In case the AI fighter has multiple
effects that have the same trigger, resolve them one at a time, and try to do it in an order where the
AI fighter seems to benefit most from the effects (if the order matters at all).

The following are exceptions to AI behavior based on the fighter you are using. If these rules
contradict with the AI fighter's own rules, roll the die to randomly decide which one is prioritized.
IF YOUR FIGHTER IS...
...Adjenna Callista, AI fighter prefers not to end their movement adjacent to her.
This takes the priority over fighter-specific positioning rules.
...Arec Russel Zane, AI fighter will randomly decide whether to count the range to Arec's Clone
Marker or to his standee when choosing the attack pair (roll the die: 1-10 = Marker, 11-20 Standee).
...Aria, AI fighter prefers to end their movement to at least range 2 from all of Aria's droids.
...Gaspar Geddon, AI fighter tries to move into spaces with clones that haven't activated yet.
...Iaxus the Shattered, AI fighter reclaims cards in the following order when Rifting grows:
Base from discard 1, Style from discard 1, Base from discard 2, Style from discard 2.
If the AI fighter gets to choose a new Plane Card, it is chosen randomly
...Kaitlyn Van Sorrel, AI fighter will take wormholes into account when determining ranges.
...Karin & Jager Brandtford, AI fighter prefers not to end their movement in Jager's space, or
move into Jagers space if the Coordinated-style is used.
...King Alexian XXXVII, AI fighter will roll the die on each ante step when they have at least 2
Chivalry Tokens, anteing them all on 8-20. Dashing will not be used when anteing them.
...Pendros Schalla, AI fighter prefers to end their movement in spaces with positive Environment
Markers (priority), as well as face down Environment markers, while avoiding the Lightning Storm.
Vice versa when they get to move you.
...Runika Zenanen, AI fighter randomly decides which artifacts get deactivated. If deactivating a
certain artifact would prevent Runika from hitting them back, then these artifacts have the priority.
...Oriana Vellopholetta, AI fighter always discards a token rather than takes life loss (Calamity).
With the Unstable-base, the effects are chosen randomly, however, the 2nd effect has the priority if
getting stunned would have no ill effects. Also the 3rd effect is always chosen before the 4th effect.
...Overlord Cairngort Rexan, AI fighter will roll the die on each ante step when they have any
Curse Tokens, anteing them all on 6-20. Dashing will not be used when anteing them.
 Fighter tables for randomizing your enemy + Deathmatch game mode

The tables below can be used for randomly choosing enemies for you to fight.

Try the following game mode, where an endless (well, up to 29...) horde of opponents will attack
you, one after another. These opponents are not as smart as you are, so you can expect to gain upper
hand rather easily but every mistake will cost you, and sooner or later you will fall...

1) Choose a fighter for yourself.

2) Choose the level of complexity you would like your next opponent to have. This level will
not necessarily refer to the actual effectiveness of the opponent, but rather to the amount of
maintenance you should expect to be doing to make the opponent's AI work properly.
Roll the d20 to see who will be your next opponent, re-rolling the already defeated fighters.

3) Fight! Only one duel is fought against each opponent.

4) If you won, your fighter gets to have a short break before the next fight: Regain 4 life.
Then go back to 2) and choose the next fighter.
See how many opponents you can take down before some of them defeats you!

If you are using Ante Finishers -variant, your Finisher can only be used once during the
whole series fights.

ARIA

Aria begins the duel with a random droid in her starting space.

POSITIONING: Aria moves around as little as possible. If she has to choose between advancing
and retreating, she prefers to retreat.

the opponent, on Aria's side of the arena.
Synchro Merge: Removes all droids.
BYRON KRANE

POSITIONING: Byron moves around as little as possible. If he has to choose between advancing
and retreating, he prefers to retreat.

Byron's Base-charts are not based on range, but on the number of remaining Mask-counters.

4-5 MASKS 2-3 MASKS 0-1 MASKS

15-20 Strike 15-20 Grasp 15-20 Grasp
11-14 Drive 11-14 Strike 10-14 Drive
7-10 Shot 7-10 Drive 7-9 Dash
4-6 Burst 4-6 Smoke 5-6 Strike
2-3 Smoke 2-3 Burst 3-4 Smoke
1 Grasp 1 Shot 1-2 Burst
Range to the opponent still needs to be calculated it is used to choose the Style-card.

Byron chooses his styles at random, but the current range and the chosen base limit the valid
choices down 1-3. Only if these styles are not available, the others can be used.
Soulless can only be chosen if the instructions below mention it.
For Dash, the style is drawn at random (but never Soulless).

Range 1: Faceless / Soulless OR Soul Trap if the roll was 1-10

With Burst; Heartless / Faceless / Soulless OR Soul Trap if the roll was 1-10
Range 1 (cornered): Breathless / Faceless / Soulless OR Soul Trap if the roll was 1-10

Range 2: Faceless / Heartless OR Soul Trap if the roll was 1-10

With Burst; Deathless / Heartless OR Soul Trap if the roll was 1-10
With Drive; Faceless / Soulless OR Soul Trap if the roll was 1-10

Range 3: Deathless / Heartless OR Finisher if the roll was 1-10

With Burst; Breathless / Deathless OR Finisher if the roll was 1-10
With Drive; Faceless / Heartless OR Finisher if the roll was 1-10

Range 4: Breathless / Deathless OR Soulgate if the roll was 1-10

With Drive; Faceless / Heartless OR Soulgate if the roll was 1-10

Range 5: Breathless
With Burst; Breathless / Deathless
With Drive; Deathless / Heartless

Range 6: Breathless
With Drive; Breathless / Deathless

Breathless: SoB; If Byron is cornered, he will move to the opposite edge of the arena.
Otherwise he moves only if needed to fulfill the two main priorities.
xxx Burst: Tries to get to the range where the range-specific effect of the Style-card can trigger.
Deathless: Moves the opponent as close to himself as possible, towards the nearest edge space.
xxx Grasp / xxx Smoke: Tries to move the opponent to the range where the range-specific effect of
the Style-card can trigger. Otherwise he pushes the opponent.
CSAR GRIST

POSITIONING: Csar tries to keep the range to his opponent to a minimum (priority).
He also tries to stay as close to the center of the arena as possible.

FUELED-STYLE: Fueled-style is not included to the stack of cards when randomly selecting a
style. Instead, when Csar has 3 Threat Counters, roll the die before determining his attack pair.
On 1-7 the Fueled-style is chosen instead of a random selection. Then, in either case, roll again to
determine the Base-card to be used.
If Fueled is not chosen like this, then it will be chosen during the next beat (when Csar has
4 Threat Counters). However, if Level 4 Protocol is ready to be used and the opponent is at range
1, the Finisher will be used instead of a Fueled -attack pair.

Endless Vigil is used immediately when Csars life is low enough, and he has 3-4 Threat Counters.
Like the other Finisher, this will also take priority over the special rules for the Fueled-style.

Dashing styles: Randomly drawn (Fueled not included).

When the Fueled-style is used, use the *special chart*.

RANGE 1 RANGE 2 RANGE 3+ *ANY*

16-20 Strike 15-20 Drive 13-20 Shot 13-20 Suppression

1 Shot 1 Grasp 1 Burst

Bulwark: Moves as far away from the opponent as possible if he is the active fighter, stays still if
he is the reactive.
xxx Burst: Retreats two, unless the second step would move him out of range.
CLINHYDE EIGHT

ANTE: Clinhyde antes a Stim on every beat. The stim to be activated depends on the base he is
using (so the anteing actually happens after the Ante-phase, don't forget to apply the life loss!):
Grasp or Drive Crizma > Hylatine > Ehrlite
Strike Ehrlite > Crizma > Hylatine
Frenzy, Burst or Shot Hylatine > Crizma > Ehrlite
Dash No new stims activate.
Finishers No new stims activate.

POSITIONING: Clinhyde tries to keep the range to his opponent to a minimum (priority).
He also tries to stay as close to the center of the arena as possible.

Ritherwhyte Infusion: When this Finisher activates, Clinhyde changes his positioning preferences to
the following:
POSITIONING: Clinhyde tries to keep the range to his opponent at 4 (priority).
He also tries to stay as close to the center of the arena as possible.

Also, with Ritherwhyte Infusion, when determining the table to be used while rolling for a Base,
subtract 2 from the range.

Gravity-style is not used if the range to the opponent is 1 (1-2 with drive).

Dashing styles: Randomly drawn (Gravity can be used regardless of range).

If Clinhyde has 2 or more stims active and the Frenzy-base is available, use the *special chart*.

RANGE 1-2 RANGE 3 RANGE 4+ *RANGE 1-3*

xxx Burst: Retreats two, unless the second step would move him out of range.
Diffusion: OH; Pushes two spaces.
OD; Deactivates a random stim.
xxx Frenzy: Deactivates all stims.
CLIVE MELMONT

ANTE: Clive activates one random Module Card on each ante-phase.

Auto-Repair cannot be chosen if Clive is at full life during the ante-phase.

POSITIONING: Clive moves around as little as possible. If he has to choose between advancing
and retreating, he prefers to retreat.

System Reset is used only if at least 5 of Clive's modules have been removed from the game.
System Shock is used only if all of Clive's modules have been removed from the game.

Burnout- & Rocket -styles are not used if the range to the opponent is 1 (1-2 with drive).

Dashing styles: Randomly drawn (the two exceptions above can always be used with Dash).

If Extending Arms -module or Rocket Boots -module is active, subtract 1 from the range when
determining Clive's attack pair. If both of the above are active, subtract 2.

RANGE 1 ! RANGE 2 RANGE 3 RANGE 4+

Burnout: Randomly removes one of the following, if possible:

Afterburner, Auto-Repair, Extending Arms, Force Gloves, Rocket Boots
xxx Burst: Retreats two, unless the second step would move him out of range.
xxx Grasp: Pushes the opponent.
Leaping: If a hit can be scored after advancing 3 spaces, Clive will do so.
Rocket: SoB; Retreats, unless that would move him out of range.
OH; Moves the opponent two spaces towards the nearest edge space.
System Reset: Activates 3 random modules.
xxx Wrench: Won't return any modules, unless he is the active fighter and the opponent is about to
hit Clive and stun him. In this case, he returns all modules.
ELIGOR LARINGTON

ANTE: If Eligor has 2 or more Vengeance Tokens, roll the die.

On 1-10 he antes up to 3 tokens.
On 11-20 he antes all of his tokens.
If any Vengeance Tokens were anted, Eligor will not use Dash.

POSITIONING: Eligor tries to keep the range to his opponent to a minimum (priority).
He also tries to stay as close to the center of the arena as possible.

Dashing styles: Chained > Counter > Retribution

If any tokens were anted and the Aegis-base is available, use the *special chart*.

xxx Burst: Retreats two, unless the second step would move him out of range.
Chained: Pulls only if needed to hit successfully, and no more than is necessary.
ENDRBYT

Choose Endrbyt's Mode at random. Neither fighter uses Finishers in a duel against AI Endrbyt!
Choose 5 styles for Endrbyt in the following way:
Randomly choose either Collection, Dispersal or Forceful. Then, randomly pick 4 of the
other 7 styles. If Analysis Mode is used, one of them has to be the Terrifying-style.
Endrbyt uses all of his 4 unique bases, plus Burst, Drive and Strike from the standard bases.
Endrbyt places Burst in discard [2], and Vent in discard [1], along with two random styles.

ANTE: Roll the die. Endrbyt antes on 8-20, if he has enough energy for it.
Use *special charts* if he doesn't ante and he has at least three energy.
When anteing in Reactor Mode he antes down to one energy, and uses *special charts* always
when he doesn't ante.

POSITIONING: Endrbyt moves around as little as possible. If he has to choose between advancing
and retreating, he prefers to retreat.

Collection- & Dispersal -styles are not used if the range to the opponent is 1 (1-2 with drive,
1-3 with grapple).
Forceful-style is not used if the range to the opponent is 1-2 (1-3 with drive, 1-4 with grapple).

Unbreakable: SoB; Spends the energy if he is about to get hit by the opponent.
GASPAR GEDDON

ANTE: First, determine Gaspar's own base. If Gaspar uses Dash, randomly draw him a style and
skip the following list. Otherwise, do not draw him a style yet.
Then roll the die: On 7-20 go through the following instructions and do the first one that is possible.
1) RANGE 2-3 and Gaspar uses Drive or Shot and Cascading-style is available:
Gaspar antes two of the following; Strike > Burst > Grasp > Bladestorm,
and places clones as close to the opponent as possible. The Cascading-style is used.
2) RANGE 3+ and Gaspar's Base leaves his attack 2 spaces too short
and Gordian-style is available:
Gaspar antes one of the following; Drive > Shot > Strike > Grasp > Bladestorm, and places
a clone in front of himself. The Gordian-style is used.
3) RANGE 1-3 and Drive-base is available and Replicated-style is available:
Gaspar antes Drive and places a clone at range 3 from the opponent, or if not possible, 2.
The Replicated-style is used..
4) RANGE 1-4 and Shot-base is available and Replicated-style is available:
Gaspar antes Shot and places a clone as far as possible from the opponent, range 4 at most.
The Replicated-style is used.
5) RANGE 1-2:
Gaspar antes one of the following; Strike > Burst > Grasp > Bladestorm, and places a clone
adjacent to the opponent.
Then, if possible, he antes; Drive > Shot, and places another clone behind the first one.
6) RANGE 1-4:
Gaspar antes one of the following; Drive > Shot, and places a clone at the maximum range
where it can still hit the opponent.
7) If none of the above can be followed through, no additional bases will be anted.
If Gaspar's style has not yet been determined, draw one randomly. Re-draw Replicated.

POSITIONING: Gaspar tries to keep the range to his opponent to a minimum (priority).
He also tries to stay as close to the center of the arena as possible.

Finishers are used only if there are at least 4 bases in Gaspar's discard piles.

GERARD MATRANGA

ANTE: On the first ante-phase, Gerard hires one of the following Mercenaries at random:
Archer, Bookie, Brawler.
The next time Gerard has 2 or more gold, he hires one of the cost 2 Mercenaries at random.
From that point on, if Gerard has 7 gold or more, he will hire one random Mercenary.

POSITIONING: Gerard tries to keep the range to his opponent to a minimum (priority).
He also tries to stay as close to the center of the arena as possible.

SPENDING GOLD: Every ante-phase when Gerard has at least 3 gold and one or more of the cost
2 Mercenaries, roll the die. On 11-20 Gerard activates one of the Mercenaries. If he has more than
one, choose the one at random. If a new Merc is hired, it is hired before spending gold like this.
The Heavy Knight is not activated if the range to the opponent is 4 or more OR if Gerard is at an
edge of the arena.

Windfall is used only if Gerard has at least 4 gold.

Hooked-style is used only is the opponent is in the middle space, or if Gerard is on that side
of the opponent where there are more unoccupied spaces.

Dashing styles: Randomly drawn (Hooked not included).

IAXUS THE SHATTERED

PLANES: Iaxus chooses new Plane Cards at random.

When Rifting plane grows, Iaxus reclaims cards in the following order:
Base from discard 1, Style from discard 1, Base from discard 2, Style from discard 2.
When Rifting plane collapses, Iaxus chooses the cards from your hand at random.
When Tidal plane grows or collapses, follow Iaxus' positioning rules. (Remember that during ante
phase Iaxus can't take your attack pair into account when making decisions)

POSITIONING: Iaxus tries to keep the range to his opponent at 2 (priority).

He also tries to stay as close to the center of the arena as possible.

KAITLYN VAN SORREL

WORMHOLES: Kaitlyn places a Wormhole Marker at the end of each beat, as long as an unplaced
marker is available.
A new wormhole is placed between Kaitlyn and her opponent, as close to the opponent as possible.
If there are no available spaces between the fighters, then the wormhole is placed adjacent to either
one of the fighters (adjacent to Kailyn, if both adjacent spaces are available).
If no spaces in between, and no adjacent spaces are available, Kaitlyn won't place a new wormhole.

When Kaitlyn interacts with her wormholes, she ignores them unless she could fulfill the
positioning priorites better by not ignoring them.

LESANDRA MACHAN

ANTE: Lesandras anteing is done after her Style-card has been determined. This is an exception
to the normal way of handling AI fighters. Each Style is described below, and the ANTE-sections
should be treated as if they were Reveal-effects.
When resolving the anteing, do not take your own attack pair into account when checking ranges
Lesandra couldn't see it.

POSITIONING: Lesandra tries to keep the range to her opponent at 2 (priority).

She also tries to stay as close to the center of the arena as possible.

SUMMONING: If Lesanda dealt any damage to her opponent, she will summon the familiar with
the highest cost that she can afford with that damage. This is done at the end of every beat, unless
she already has an active familiar with an even higher cost.
If she didn't deal any damage, and she hasn't got an active familiar, then she will use her own life to
summon the lowest cost familiar available.

Invocation-style is not used if the range to the opponent is 1-2 (1-3 with drive).

Dashing styles: Binding > Window > Invocation

MALANDRAX MECCHI

ANTE: Choose a trap for Malandrax by randomly drawing one. Don't look at it yet. If more than
one trap is allowed, randomly pick as many as allowed.

TRIGGERING TRAPS: Traps can trigger in the following spaces: Edges of the arena, middle of the
arena, and spaces adjacent to Malandrax.
During each beat, the first time you enter one of these spaces, reveal the active trap card(s) and
determine if you triggered one or more of them. If your movement (all effects combined, if you
have more than one that would trigger directly one after another) would take you through more than
one possible trap spaces, first move all the way, then reveal and trigger the trap cards.
If you didn't move during your attack, reveal the traps afterward to see if the Smasher Trap
activates.

POSITIONING: Malandrax tries to position himself into spaces 2, 3, 5 or 6 whichever is

reachable and farthest away from his opponent.

Leading-style is not used if the range to the opponent is 1-2 (1-3 with drive).

Alarm Trap: Attempts to retreat so that he is at range 3 from his opponent. If the opponent still has
movement left, this is taken into account when determining the amount of spaces to retreat. If the
edge of the arena blocks Malandrax's retreat, he moves to the edge.

xxx Grasp / Ingenious: Pushes the opponent, unless pulling them would take them into a possible
trap location. In this case, reveal the trap(s) and see if a trap could be triggered this way. If yes, then
pull, otherwise push.

Precision: Reveal the trap(s) if they are not yet revealed. Malandrax attempts to move the opponent
into the active traps, prioritized as follows:
1, Smasher: Opponent is not moved at all. This is not chosen if the range to the opponent is one.
2, Wall Spike
3, Electroshock
4, Alarm: This is done only if Malandrax can then execute a full retreat, as described above.
If none of the traps can be reached, or if there is movement left after reaching all possible traps,
then Malandrax tries to keep the opponent at range 4.
