I've noticed the AI ignores an ally it might deem "weak",. only to have me use it to killtheir ally and win the board. For exsample:

AI Hero = Human
my Hero = any shadow

AI board - active Puwen
My board = just cast Carniboar, nothing else in play

AI action = attack my hero, leave Carniboar alone
My action = buff Carniboar, kill Puwen.

The AI w/o a doubt should kill my Carniboar when it has a chance, period, all the time. It seems to follow this philosophy of accepting allies out on the board that it doesn't "care" about. The AI should be programmed to focus all energy on killing allies first, worry about my hero 2nd unless it can deal enough damage in one turn to kill my Hero (perform that check first each turn).

Agree compleatly, the AI has trouble making right decision when it comes to small allies - it has the brains to eliminate Blake, but smaller stuff seems to fall trough the net. Board control is not AI's strongest suit for sure. It also suffers from Bizzare need to kill tainted oracle on sight, even if there are objetively equally dangerous allies, whose demise does not benefit me the same way.

The AI as Baduru doesn't know when to use the ability of the other hero.

[Berdugo]

AI hero:Wulven
Description:It cast Rabid Bite on the protector THEN cast crippling blow.

AI Hero:Eladwen
Descriptions:
- it cast Freeze on an ally THEN kill with a fireball instead of just fireball.
- it uses ability to kill a 3 health or less ally,THEN cast lightning strike on Hero only instead of just casting LS.

[Everest]

My Hero:
Amber Rain
My Board:
<Empty>
AI Hero:
Banebow
AI Board:
Fire Snake
Actual Action:
<Nothing>
Proposed Action:
Attack Hero <Unarmed>

------------------------

My Hero:
Amber Rain
My Board:
Armored Sandworm , Puwen Bloodhelm

AI Hero:
Banebow
AI Board:
Fire Snake , Fire Snake

Actual Action:
Use ability to attack Sandworm and Hero

Proposed Action:
Attack Puwen Bloodhelm and Hero because Sandworm damage is reduced by 2 so it's not affected

Banebow's ability deals 2 damage to two different enemies, Sandworm damage is reduced by 2, so A.I. basically wasted a target when he had the option to target Bloodhelm instead

[Unfan]

Cast 2nd Brutalis, Attacked hero with 1st Brutalis, Used Banebow's ability on Aldon and Hero.
Proposed Action:
Cast 2nd Brutalis, use Banebow's ability on Puwen and Hero, kill Puwen with 1st Brutalis.

Depending on his hand the proposed play is still bad. Sometimes it'd be better use Banebow's ability on Puwen + Aldon, kill the Puwen. That leaves open the option to attack Aldon twice leaving a damaged Brutalis, a full health Brutalis, and a dead Aldon. The lack of damage on the hero doesn't matter since the board control options are stronger. Also, arrows in hand would turn this into just 1 more hit from Aldon.
